OK, where do I sign the check? (the angriest meal of the day)


“On Thursday morning, Trump began his toxic victory shamble at the National Prayer Breakfast, attended by every president since the tradition began in 1953. You know what they say, the Prayer Breakfast is the angriest meal of the day.” —Stephen Colbert

“Trump condemned perceived enemies, hyped his impeachment ‘victory’ and flouted the event’s theme of forgiveness in a performance that was so inappropriate that even Fox News summed it up as ‘Trump Slams Opponents At National Prayer Breakfast.’ That is the worst presidential headline since ‘Nixon Drop-Kicks Baby Panda at National Zoo’.” —Stephen Colbert

“As usual, Trump defended his 25 July phone call with the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, in which he promised aid and then said, ‘I’d like you to do us a favor, though,’ as a ‘very good phone call. I know bad phone calls.’
Oh I’m sure you do, Mr President. [Colbert as Trump]: ‘They always start with ‘I swear I’ve never met her before,’ and they end with ‘OK, where do I sign the check?’” —Stephen Colbert

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic. 
A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night On Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
