Stephen Colbert Responds To Oddest Trump-Russia Moment With Absolutely Filthy Line

“The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert on Monday seized on a strange moment involving Donald Trump at the former president’s campaign rally in Greensboro, North Carolina, at the weekend.

“We’re a nation that just recently heard that Saudi Arabia and Russia will …” Trump was telling supporters before he tailed off and made a weird “aaah”-type sound.

“Not entirely sure what’s going on there,” Colbert admitted after playing the footage of the four-times-indicted Republican front-runner.

Then came the zinger: “But apparently, he can’t even say the word ‘Russia’ without climaxing.”

Trump has repeatedly sided with Russia and its authoritarian leader, Vladimir Putin, over U.S. interests, a dynamic that last week was called “really creepy” by former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.
