Colbert on the texture of Trump’s butt (really): “My best guess is either cold pizza or bumpy decorative gourd”

" When I call, they kiss my ass," Trump has said. And Colbert made sure to give us info we really didn't need

“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert on Thursday weighed allegations that GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump bribed Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to avoid a potential investigation into Trump University.

On the campaign trail, Trump repeatedly described giving money to politicians in exchange for business favors. During a January speech in Iowa, he said, “I’ve given to everybody because that was my job …. When I call, they kiss my ass.”

“That’s a disturbing admission, partly because of its overt, abrasive corruption,” Colbert responded. “But mostly because it makes us imagine the texture of Donald Trump’s ass. My best guess is either cold pizza or bumpy decorative gourd.”
