President Donald Trump’s second inauguration provided plenty of comic fodder for “The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert on Monday.
Colbert mockingly picked apart multiple moments from the returning president’s speech ― including Trump’s failure to place his hand on a stack of Bibles when being sworn back into office.
“Now when the ceremony was going to be outside he was going to put his hand on the Bible but when they moved it inside the fire marshal wouldn’t allow it,” Colbert joked.
“Here’s the thing,” he continued. “If he doesn’t touch the Bible, is he really president?”
“I mean who did touch the Bible?” Colbert asked. “Uhh.. Melania. Is she president now? Could the hat be president? It clearly believes in a strong border.”
