Stephen Colbert Taunts Trump Over Truly Weird Moment With His Big-Money Donors
Stephen Colbert broke out into song to taunt Donald Trump over a bizarre Mar-a-Lago event in which well-heeled donors paid $40,000 and up to attend.
Trump reportedly complained about all the pictures the donors wanted, declared that anyone who didn’t get a pic didn’t pay enough, and said he preferred a wedding that was also being held at Mar-a-Lago because the wedding paid him more, according to The Washington Post.
Colbert broke out his Trump impression ― but with a twist: He sang a verse of TLC’s “No Scrubs,” with lyrics updated for the situation.
“Hey donors, I don’t want no scrub. A scrub is a guy who won’t get no pic with me. Hang by the big shrimp tray at the lunch buffet wavin’ a dollar at me,” he sang.
