World leaders gathered in
New York for the
United Nations General Assembly, and "President Trump is here, too,"
Stephen Colbert said on Monday's Late Show. "To welcome him, New Yorkers have spent the last three years crowbarring his name off of all the buildings." At last year's U.N. General Assembly, Trump's speech "brought joy to the whole world," he reminded everyone, showing the laugh Trump got when he bragged about his accomplishments. "Now Mr. President, I want to assure you that they weren't laughing at you — it's the U.N., they were laughing à toi.""We don't know what Trump's gonna say tomorrow, but last week he gave us a little bit of a preview," Colbert said, recapping an odd conversation Trump had with reporters aboard Air Force One. "Maybe Trump will be a bigger hit with the foreigners, because he is not winning any popularity contests here. His approval rating has never been, his entire presidency, it has never been above 50 percent, and he is way underwater with women, Hispanics, African-Americans, in the suburbs, in the cities, in a box, with a fox, in a house, with a mouse, they do not like him here or there, they do not like him anywhere. They do not like the orange man, they miss the guy who said 'Yes we can.'"If you want to know what happened Monday at the U.N., Colbert can't help — he pre-taped this show due to the
Emmys — but he did have an amusing analysis of Trump's love-hate relationship with Sir Elton John and a small teaser of his interview with Sir Paul McCartney. Watch below.
