Stephen Colbert Damns Donald Trump's 'Unified Reich' Video With ‘Simple Explanation'

Stephen Colbert told it like it is about the “unified Reich” reference that appeared on a video shared (and now deleted) from Donald Trump’s Truth Social profile.

“Before you get too worked up, there’s a simple explanation,” Colbert said on Wednesday’s episode of “The Late Show.”

“Donald Trump wants to rule over a unified Reich,” he zinged.

Colbert noted how President Joe Biden had “pounced” on the controversial clip and released this video in response:

Donald Trump posted an ad echoing the language of Nazi Germany.

He only cares about holding on to power.

I care about you. pic.twitter.com/XSmGKaQhJ1

“A unified Reich? That’s Hitler’s language, that’s not America’s,” Biden said.

Colbert then jumped into character as Biden, complete with shades, to imagine what POTUS said next.
