On April 23rd, Stephen Colbert lit into President Trump on the late show this week, calling out his bizarre dodge of tanking approval ratings. Trump's numbers have dipped to just 32 percent, and instead of facing that heat, he dug up a New York Times piece from 2004, hyping the ratings for the apprentice. Poles are sliding fast, mostly because folks are fed up with his approach to the war in Iran and skyrocketing inflation. Trump skipped all that drama by posting that old article straight to social media, like it's some kind of comeback. Colbert zeroed in on the desperation, noting how Trump followed up just three minutes later with a summary of the exact same story. It's like he's clinging to his reality TV glory days while the real world burns. Viewers caught the shade immediately, with late night clips blowing up online as proof of Trump's pole panic. Critics say it's a classic deflection, ignoring policy headaches for nostalgia. Meanwhile, as these numbers keep falling, expect more of these head scratchers from the White House feed.
Trump's remix on handling the spotlight. I'm Cory with the story. That's your entertainment and celebrity news today update. AI powered and always trending.
