Donald Trump’s meeting with Governors yesterday certainly left news outlets and late-night comedians with a lot of material. Stephen Colbert said it best:
“At this point, I go to bed every night believing there’s nothing he (Trump) could say or do that could possibly surprise me, then the sun comes up and today, it happened again.”
This time it was Trump’s remark that he would have saved the day if he were at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Trump said, “I really believe I’d run in there even if I didn’t have a weapon.”
That’s what’s known as a gift to late night writers. Here’s Colbert:
“The part I really don’t believe is that he can run.”
“We already know how you react to combat situations. you got five deferments from Vietnam! What are you going to do, stab them with your bone spurs?”

Meanwhile Monday, Colbert also took aim at the NRA on Twitter with a zinger that went viral.
I’m surprised the NRA was affiliated with car rental companies at all, considering Hertz and Avis enforce tyrannical rules like "age restrictions" and "having a license."

And the replies…
"What's next, are cops gonna pull me over and ask to see some kinda license or registration?"

all decent, law-abiding drivers have to put up with speed limits and speed bumps because of the reckless willfulness of the special few. Why should there not be similar restrictions on gun ownership?

I’d suggest gun insurance (similar to car insurance) required for gun owners, but we all know there are no gun related accidents.

I know right??? Those bastards also said I couldn’t rent 6 cars for myself because “no one needs that many cars.”
