Stephen Colbert Defends Trump for 'Allegedly' Cheating on Scottish Golf Course: 'Hasn't Seen His Own Balls in Years'

Stephen Colbert continued to not pull any punches against Donald Trump in Monday’s “Late Show” monologue, jabbing the president over his recent trip to Scotland that saw him close the European Union trade deal — and “allegedly” cheat during a round of golf on his own course.

The late night host jokingly defended the president, however, arguing that a caddy conspicuously dropped a ball for Trump on the green because he “hasn’t seen his own balls in years.”

The president traveled to Scotland, his mother’s homeland, over the weekend “technically” for trade talks with the European Union, Colbert explained. “But as always, he focused a wee bit on stuffing his kilt with cash like ground up organ meat in a sheep’s bladder,” he quipped before adding, “It’s a delicacy!”

Colbert said that Trump’s golf game was “truly presidential” before pulling up a news clip of him hitting “the links, where he had a good round with a little help from cheating, allegedly.”
