Stephen Colbert Mocks Trump Over The ‘So Embarrassing’ Moment Revealed In New Book

Donald Trump’s lowest moment in the White House might’ve been a literal one: when the then-president fled to an underground bunker as anti-racism protesters gathered outside.

Or as “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert pointed out on Wednesday: “The big, strong ‘law and order president’ hid in an underground bunker.” 

The new book, “Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost” by Michael C. Bender, reveals that Trump was livid when his location was leaked and he was mocked for going into hiding.
