Most occupants of the White House have taken it in stride, accepting that it’s just one unfortunate part of their job.

Political comedy is especially important in the Trump era because freedom of speech—one of the most important powers that the US Constitution guarantees to the people—is being hampered by the president’s disrespect for the document, the opaqueness of his administration, the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, and the way money has supplanted the voice of the citizenry in determining the priorities of our elected representatives. And please, do not underestimate the influence of years of daytime trash TV, “reality” television, and the more recent impact of social media in polluting the standards of character and intelligence in our elected officials. At this point, nothing is shocking or sacred. You can be an accused child molester running for a Senate seat in Alabama and still get the support of the president of the United States. The shit that comes out of Trump’s mouth would get any other person suspended from school, kicked out of the house, or fired. It appears that, today, people find nobody more dangerous than a comedian telling a joke.

On The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the host mocked Trump’s dismissal of respected journalist John Dickerson during an interview on Face the Nation. During the interview, Trump literally refused to face the nation when given the opportunity to explain exactly what he meant in a recent tweet implying that President Obama had wiretapped him. Trump also obnoxiously mentioned to Dickerson that he refers to the show as “Deface the Nation.” (FYI—there is no way he thought of that himself.)

Colbert’s bit on this was:

John Dickerson is a fair-minded journalist, and one of the most competent people who will ever walk into your office, and you treat him like that. Mr. President, you’re not the POTUS, you’re the “gloat-us.” You’re the glutton with the button. You’re a regular “Gorge Washington.” You’re the “presi-dunce,” but you’re turning into a real “prick-tator.” Sir, you attract more skinheads than free Rogaine. You have more people marching against you than cancer. You talk like a sign language gorilla that got hit in the head. In fact, the only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s cock holster.
