“What the hell is Trump thinking about campaigning in New York?” Colbert asked, then broke out his impression of Trump: “They told me I’m behind in Wisconsin, so I’m rallying in Madison… Square Garden.”
Colbert guessed that the rally might have little to do with Trump winning or losing in New York, and pointed to a report in which the former president’s aides said he’s been “obsessed” with the idea of holding a rally there for three straight campaigns.
“Maybe he just wants to take over for Billy Joel,” Colbert cracked, then did an impression of Trump performing “We Didn’t Start The Fire.”
But there might be another reason.
“I’m sure it’s just a coincidence, but in 1939 they held a pro-Nazi rally there,” Colbert said, referring to an event held at MSG’s previous location.
Colbert’s comment comes after Trump’s former chief of staff, John Kellysaid the former president told him that Adolf Hitler “did some good things.” Kelly also said Trump praised Nazi generals for being “totally loyal.”
