Stephen Colbert Highlights Awkward Moment in Trump’s TV Appearance
Stephen Colbert recently discussed President Donald Trump’s latest public appearance during a game featuring the Washington Commanders and the Detroit Lions. The event took place at Northwest Stadium, where Trump faced a less than warm reception.
Trump’s Unwelcoming Arrival
During the game, Trump was met with loud boos and gestures of disapproval from the crowd. Colbert highlighted the awkwardness of the moment, noting that the fans showed little enthusiasm for his presence.
Commentary on Trump’s Game Commentary
At one point, Trump joined the television announcers to provide commentary. His attempt to engage with the game was met with some challenges. He began by saying, “Well, let’s see what happens here. This is a big…” but left the statement unfinished.
- The announcers quickly piped in, guiding him with: “Big down, all right.”
- They informed Trump about a timeout being called by the players.
Trump then shifted the conversation to a philosophical take on sports, stating, “You can equate sports with life, you know, you have the triumph and you have the problems and you gotta get through the problems to hit the triumphs.” He added a motivational note, saying, “And you can never quit. You can never give up.”
Colbert’s Humorous Take
Colbert humorously remarked that Trump’s commentary marked a notable moment, quipping, “A little rough. That marks the first time the guys in the booth got brain damage.” This light-hearted observation emphasized the awkwardness of Trump’s commentary and the overall reaction from viewers.
