'A Real American Disgrace!': Stephen Colbert Nails Trump's Most 'Half-Assed' Effort Yet

The "Late Show" host lamented that "this country used to have standards."

“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert said President Donald Trump didn’t exactly bring his A-game with his attempt at taunting Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell this week.

The president has been trying to pressure Powell into lowering interest rates, to no avail. Trump fired off a tweet calling him ”‘Too Late’ Jerome Powell,” and adding, “TOO LATE’s an American Disgrace!”

Colbert wasn’t impressed.

“You want a real American disgrace?” he asked. “That half-assed nickname! ‘Too Late?’ ‘Too Late?’ You can’t do better than ‘Too Late?’”

Colbert offered the president some more effective options.
