And a five, six, seven, eight... (the prime minister of Corona)

“The only purpose of the press briefing is to give valuable information to a confused public in the middle of a national crisis, so, of course, Trump used it to brag about himself. It’s like if the fireman showed up to your burning house, and instead of picking up a hose he said, ‘Wow, this inferno is the perfect backdrop for my one-man show about how it’s not my fault that your house is burning down. And a five, six, seven, eight: [sings] I didn’t start the fire! It was always burning but you didn’t listen.’” —Stephen Colbert

“But true to his word, Trump did have a list of what he did to fight the coronavirus in February, and in a ‘Late Show’ exclusive, I’ve got it right here. It includes: ‘a lot’; ‘banged pots in case virus is like bears’; ‘sent virus $130,000 to make it go away’; ‘wrote angry letter to the prime minister of Corona’; ‘socially distanced Eric’ — that’s smart; ‘called virus “little covi” on Twitter’; and ‘put off everything until March.’ Let’s have that note notarized and sent to the Library of Congress, please.” —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.”
