"Opening his monologue on Wednesday night's Late Show, Colbert targeted growing public unease over the economy and Trump's handling of international tensions, including the conflict with Iran. Trump's war in Iran has also pushed America's economy into what financial experts call the poop shoot, Colbert said. He continued: Voters have noticed that. Right now, 70% of Americans disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy, and more than two-thirds of Americans say the country feels out of control."
"Colbert then pivoted into a mock defense of the president, adding, Oh, come on. Things are completely under control. Donald Trump may seem unstable, but I'm sure he has a plan. What is your plan, Mr. President? The show then cut to a clip from earlier in the day of a stunned CNN data analyst Harry Enten, describing Trump as facing the five worst polls ever for any president, pointing out that Biden was not included in the comparison."
"At that point, as the show returned to the studio, Colbert was seen sporting a pair of aviator sunglasses, a signature Biden accessory, and launched into the impression. That's right, Jack. I'm not in there 'cause I'm in here. That's right. How's it going, Barack? Colbert said. I'm in here asking, Remember how much better it was when I was in charge? 'Cause, I'll be honest, folks. I do not.' Last Biden impression ever, he added, before slowly dancing across the stage in character."
A late-night monologue used a revived Biden impression as a final bit to mock Donald Trump’s declining approval ratings. The performance targeted public unease about the economy and Trump’s handling of international tensions, including conflict with Iran. The monologue claimed that 70% of Americans disapprove of Trump’s economic handling and that more than two-thirds say the country feels out of control. It then shifted into a mock defense of Trump, portraying him as seemingly unstable but supposedly having a plan. A clip referenced polling showing Trump facing the five worst polls ever for any president, while Biden was not included. The segment ended with the impression and a dance across the stage.
