Stephen Colbert Spots Alarming Sign Trump Is Getting 'Pretty Worn Out'

Stephen Colbert said Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance did his best at the debate to make Donald Trump look palatable to voters.

But the “Late Show” host said that task is growing harder by the day as the former president is now looking “pretty worn out” on the campaign trail.

Colbert played footage of a low-key Trump at a grim speech in Wisconsin “where he took his crowd of MAGA faithful on a trip to the land of quiet sadness.”

It only got more awkward from there as the former president seemed to forget the names of the event’s hosts.
