Bush on Colbert

"Colbert mocked Trump, showing Bush, who has struggled to cut the billionaire down to size, that humor might be the most effective weapon in a topsy-turvy presidential race that is becoming increasingly indistinguishable from reality telvision.
Colbert reminded guests at the start of the show that Bush served for eight years as governor of Florida. "You would think that much exposure to oranges and crazy people would have prepared him for Donald Trump," he quipped.
In an opening sketch, Colbert sat at his desk and mocked Trump's declaration that he will no longer eat Oreo cookies because Nabisco is moving a factory to Mexico. He marveled at Trump's "amazing" support from white supremacist groups because, as he said, "Trump's not white — he's more Oompa Loompa-merican." In a segment that was cut from the final show due to time constraints, Colbert even urged Bush to be "more Trumpian," asking him to recite a number of lines, including: “I will build a wall between the United States and Iran.” Politico
