Donald Trump’s lawyers grilled his former lawyer Michael Cohen. As motivation for Cohen’s vindictiveness, the defense tried to show that Cohen felt rejected by Trump, including getting him to confirm that he had a hard time securing tickets to Trump’s inauguration in January 2017. Wow, that had to sting. Because we all know there were plenty of seats available. —Stephen Colbert
Outside the courthouse on Thursday, Trump spoke to reporters to complain about the prosecution, calling the trial “a scam and it’s a sham”. Coincidentally, ‘scam’ and ‘sham’ also the Secret Service code names for Eric and Don Jr. —Stephen Colbert
Trump agreed to the terms for the debates, but Republicans are already working to undermine them. Vivek Ramaswamy, a potential Trump VP pick, tweeted: “Call me cynical, but why is Joe Biden suddenly so willing to debate? It could be because he’s desperate, or it could be because it’s a set-up.”Oh, grow up. If Biden really wanted to trap Trump, he could just leave a trail of chicken nuggets to a cliff with a sign that said ‘honey mustard below’. —Stephen Colbert
