“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert on Thursday said President Donald Trump’s attacks on Pope Leo XIV might be part of a distraction campaign.
But it’s not a very effective one.
“Trump’s ongoing papal feud has failed to distract anyone from this picture he posted of himself as Jesus,” Colbert said, and showed the now-infamous image, which the president has since deleted:
“Dude, you can’t compare yourself to Jesus,” Colbert pointed out. “For one thing, Jesus’s father loved him.”
The audience erupted at the dig.
