November 2022
“The official start of Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign started on Wednesday evening, following the ex-president’s Tuesday announcement. It’s 2016 all over again, crank up Beyoncé’s Lemonade, throw on the all-female Ghostbusters, because we are Pokémon Go-ing back to hell.” —Stephen Colbert
“Trump’s announcement at Mar-a-Lago, a 63-minute speech during which attendees unsuccessfully tried to leave the ballroom, was near universally reviewed as boring even in the conservative press. It’s true, he seems disinterested, low energy, and frankly spent. That mob is gonna have to change their chant to ‘wake him up!’” —Stephen Colbert
“Trump’s speech was such a lame event, even his family didn’t show. Don Jr’s flight got stuck in bad weather, and Ivanka was a no-show; she posted on her Instagram story that she did not ‘plan to be involved in politics’ because ‘this time around, I am choosing to prioritize my young children.’ This time? You know they were also your young children last time. They were actually younger children. But you know what they say – the younger the kids are, the less they need you.” —Stephen Colbert
“Start to finish, this announcement was a pathetic, drowsy word shamble toward Snoozeville. He didn’t ride a single escalator, and during what little I watched, I thought: I have never seen anything sadder in my life. Even Fox News cut away from Trump’s speech, in a style described as real ‘stop grandpa’s toast at the wedding’ energy.” —Stephen Colbert

“A magisterial collection. A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night of the Earth
and Orwell’s 1984.”
