On The Late Present, Stephen Colbert began with a joke about Trump taking part in The Smiths at his rallies that veered right into a killer joke about Trump supporters.
Colbert was speaking about Trump utilizing basic emo band The Smiths music at his rallies and mentioned:
Nothing will get the gang riled up fairly like a plaintive acoustic ballad! I’d prefer to see them pump up a soccer staff. “Okay, let’s get down and get on the market and win! However first, our struggle tune! 3, 2, 1. ♪ All people hurts ♪ ♪ tonight ♪ you may’t do the cats? Oh, the cats.
The title of the tune they’re taking part in is “Please, please please let me get what I want” which for many Trump supporters his custody of their children. Positive. No? All proper.
After seeing footage of the rally yesterday, the Smiths’ guitarist Johnny Marr denounced Trump’s use of their tune, including, “Consider this [bleep] Shut right down right now.”
Rock and roll! Rock and roll! Additionally, copyright legal professionals! Mental proper-tay!

I do imagine that Colbert was suggesting that Trump supporters are crappy dad and mom identical to their hero. Trumpers are such unhealthy dad and mom that they don’t have custody of their children. Who hasn’t seen the man at a Trump rally who seems like he’s residing on the pay-by-the-week motel?
A lot of the media is afraid of Trump’s supporters in order that they keep away from making jokes about them, however Colbert went there, and he positively hit them with a zinger.
