The Late show saw Robert De Niro as a guest last night and Stephen Colbert tried to find him the perfect gift in NYC. Jake Tapper was on to talk about how unlikable his job is. Ezra Edelman talked about how his mom made him watch a Broadway show, and Jon Baptiste shared great moments in black history. While the show was filled with entertainment, as usual, politics overshadowed everything else. In his opening monologue Stephen Colbert calls out the President for using his platform to attack Nordstrom for dropping Ivanka’s clothing line.
For those who have been reading the news this week, Ivanka Trump seems to keep losing sponsors from her businesses outside of the White House. The latest one, from Nordstrom got under her father’s skin. After Nordstrom dropped daughter Ivanka’s clothing line the President took to Twitter to say “My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by @Nordstrom. She is a great person — always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible!”
This is just wrong on so many levels it’s not even funny. First of all, personal gripes on Twitter from the President? At this point it’s “Yawn” but come on! Second of all, doesn’t Donald Trump know this is highly unethical and probably illegal? Of course he does! Does he care? What do you think? It’s one day after the next and all we can do is keep calling him out until something finally pops. Check out Steve’s monologue below:
