Stephen Colbert Reveals The 1 Word He Used On PBS To Trigger Trump -- And It Worked
HuffPost
The "Late Show" host shares how he baited the former president into attacking him on social media this week.
Stephen Colbert on Wednesday night described how he set a verbal trap for Donald Trump ― and the former president stumbled right into it.
Trump this week attacked the “Late Show” host as “not funny,” “not wise,” and ― in all caps ― “VERY BORING” after watching a PBS interview with Colbert and his wife, Evie.
The former president was quite likely triggered by the one time his name came up in the nearly 10-minute interview, which was when Colbert was asked if he would ever have Trump on his show as a guest.
“I’ve had him before and he was kinda boring,” Colbert said. “So, no.”
On Wednesday night, Colbert said that specific word was a deliberate choice.
