On The Late Present, Stephen Colbert began with a joke about Trump enjoying The Smiths at his rallies that veered right into a killer joke about Trump supporters.
Colbert was speaking about Trump utilizing traditional emo band The Smiths music at his rallies and mentioned:
Nothing will get the group riled up fairly like a plaintive acoustic ballad! I’d wish to see them pump up a soccer crew. “Okay, let’s get down and get on the market and win! However first, our battle tune! 3, 2, 1. ♪ All people hurts ♪ ♪ tonight ♪ you possibly can’t do the cats? Oh, the cats.
The identify of the tune they’re enjoying is “Please, please please let me get what I would like” 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, “Contemplate this [bleep] Shut proper down proper now.”
Rock and roll! Rock and roll! Additionally, copyright legal professionals! Mental proper-tay!

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