President Trump flew to Louisiana midweek to support Republican gubernatorial candidate Eddie Rispone, and on Thursday, “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert revealed everywhere he’d *rather* be than at a Trump MAGA rally.
Colbert’s long list included: “the DMV, the dentist, someone else’s child’s clarinet recital, a Soviet gulag [work camp], covered in honey and staked to an anthill, sliding down a 5o-foot razor blade into a bathtub full of gin, and in conversation with someone who knows a lot about Bitcoin.”
His list was followed with a soundbite of Trump boasting about his election numbers.
“And don’t forget, in 2016, people came from the mountains, and the valleys and the rivers and the oceans,” the president said. “They came from all over.”
Colbert then turned on his Trump impression, boasting, “All my biggest supporters were rising from the oceans. I got the Kraken, Godzilla, the Little Mermaid, Bo Derek, that fish guy that won the Oscar for having sex with a girl.”

Trump actually lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton in 2016 by nearly three million votes.
The president is expected to make another visit two days to Lousiana before the Nov. 16 election to help Rispone try to unseat Democratic incumbent John Bel Edwards.
On Tuesday, another Republican Trump rallied support for, Kentucky governor Matt Bevin, lost his bid for re-election to Democrat Andy Beshear.
