'His Brain Is Wet Bread': Stephen Colbert Watches Trump Struggle With Easy Question

The "Late Show" host mocked the president's inability to answer a question about a show he's seen "a number of times."

“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert was puzzled by President Donald Trump’s inability to answer a simple question about the musical “Les Misérables.”

“I’ve seen it, we’ve seen it a number of times,” Trump said before a performance at the Kennedy Center this week. “It’s fantastic.”

But when asked if he identifies more with Jean Valjean or Javert, the president fumbled.

“That’s a tough one. The last part of that question, that’s tough, I think,” he said, then turned to first lady Melania Trump: “You better answer that one, honey, I don’t know.”

“What do you mean you don’t know? Javert is the bad guy!” Colbert said. “You just said you’ve seen the show a number of times. Is that number zero?”
