VIDEO Donald Trump Is Like, Really Not Smart

Donald Trump Is Like, Really Not Smart In this entertaining clip from "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," the comedian dives into a comedic analysis of Donald Trump's proclamation of his own genius, primarily reflected through his Twitter activity. Colbert’s humorous take sheds light on a variety of absurdities surrounding the former president's intelligence and mental stability, using excerpts from Michael Wolff's tell-all book, "Fire and Fury." Colbert kicks off his segment by highlighting a particularly engaging anecdote from Wolff's book, which illustrates Trump's less-than-stellar grasp of crucial concepts, even falling asleep during discussions about the Constitution. The humor escalates as Colbert illustrates Trump's claim of being "like really smart," poking fun at the phrase itself, which he argues does not equate to being truly intelligent. The segment is filled with clever quips, such as commenting on how self-proclaimed geniuses often feel the need to announce their mental stability—a trait generally absent from truly stable individuals. Colbert's delivery is packed with laughter, as he recalls Trump's bold statements about his achievements, suggesting that Trump’s journey from businessman to president—without prior political experience—might be more indicative of luck than genius. Overall, Colbert presents a light-hearted yet biting critique of Trump's behavior and statements, drawing laughs while encouraging viewers to think critically about the notion of intelligence in leadership. This segment not only entertains but also fosters conversation about the state of political discourse and the qualities we value in our leaders today.
