Stephen Colbert was able to find what might be the one bright spot in the unsettling report Thursday that a whistleblower in a U.S. intelligence agency filed a complaint over something Donald Trump said to a foreign leader: As if anyone could trust Trump.

“Yeah. A promise to an unknown foreign leader,” Colbert said during his “The Late Show.” monologue on Thursday’s episode. “Thank God Trump never keeps his promises.”
