Stephen Colbert trashed President Trump’s recently released 2018 budget, “A New Foundation for American Greatness,” which the CBS host labeled as “grandiose” a title “as calling a grocery list: ‘A Bold Vision for Yogurt and Dog Food.’”
“It turns out he’s building that foundation out of the ground-up bones of poor people,” Colbert continued mocking the financial document, “because this budget cuts things like the food stamp program … and the children’s health insurance program.”
“I know this is an unpopular position these days, but I believe children should go to the doctor and eat,” the “Late Show” personality continued, patting himself on the back for finding the “courage” to take such a stance.
Bold? Yes. Radical? Sure, why not? But that is exactly the kind of hutzpah that gets you to No. 1 in late-night!
