Colbert mocks Trump over DNC 'meltdown'

As the Democratic National Convention (DNC) progressed, former President Donald Trump attempted to divert his attention from the event by posting rebuttals on his social media platform. However, his efforts, which included over 50 posts during Kamala Harris's acceptance speech, failed to keep him from reacting negatively to the convention. Trump's online tirades, including a peculiar focus on Hunter Biden, did not satisfy his need for engagement, leading him to call into Fox News for a live interview. During the Fox segment, Trump's frustration became evident as he interrupted the anchors with his rants, prompting them to cut him off to proceed with their programming. This incident highlighted the ongoing tension within the Republican Party, as Trump's behavior, typically seen as disqualifying in traditional political contexts, has become a normalized spectacle. Following his Fox appearance, Trump continued his tirade by calling Newsmax, further showcasing his inability to manage his reactions to the DNC. Late-night host Stephen Colbert seized the opportunity to mock Trump’s commentary on Harris's speech, particularly his mischaracterization of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's coaching role. Colbert's humorous take resonated with audiences, contrasting the DNC's star-studded lineup with the Republican National Convention's less prominent speakers. The DNC's viewership numbers significantly outpaced those of the RNC, with over 20 million tuning in, underscoring the Democrats' appeal during the event.
