“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert mocked President Donald Trump as “Captain Cankles” after his low-energy address to military leaders on Tuesday, starting with his slow approach to the lectern.
“That shamble up to the mic was about as high as his energy got for the whole day,” Colbert said. “The president is so anti-woke he’s barely conscious.”
Trump complained about the “silent” room, as military leaders don’t typically applaud or react to political speeches, then went on tangents about everything from “the N-word” to types and quality of paper.
But the oddest moment may have been when he discussed his approach to stairs.
“I’m very careful, you know, when I walk down stairs,” he said. “I walk very slowly. You don’t have to set any record. Be cool.”
