On The Late Present, Stephen Colbert began with a joke about Trump enjoying The Smiths at his rallies, which changed into a killer joke about Trump supporters.
Colbert talked about Trump utilizing the traditional emo band The Smiths music at his rallies, saying:
Nothing thrills the viewers like a plaintive acoustic ballad! I might like to see them pump up a soccer group. “Okay, let’s get down and exit and win!” However first our struggle tune! 3, 2, 1. ♪ Everybody’s hurting ♪ ♪ tonight ♪ Cannot you do the cats? Oh, the cats.
The title of the tune they play is “Please, Please Let Me Get What I Need,” which for many Trump supporters is custody of their youngsters. Definitely. No? Okay.
After seeing footage of the assembly yesterday, the Smiths’ guitarist Johnny Marr denounced Trump’s use of their tune, including: “Take into consideration this. [bleep] Shut down proper now.”
Rock ‘n’ Roll! Rock ‘n’ Roll! Additionally copyright legal professionals! Mental property!

I actually consider Colbert was implying that Trump supporters are awful mother and father, similar to their hero. Trumpers are such unhealthy mother and father that they don’t have any custody of their youngsters. Who hasn’t seen the man at a Trump rally trying like he lives in a once-a-week motel?
Most media retailers are afraid of Trump’s supporters in order that they keep away from making jokes about them, however Colbert went there and he positive hit them with a wink.
