Stephen Colbert criticizes Trump's coronavirus 'strategy' from his home fire pit

Another day of social distancing, another glimpse of Stephen Colbert's (very lovely-looking) house.

Yesterday the Late Show host was in the tub, but today he's outside, sitting around the fire pit. And despite the measures in place to limit the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19), he's still doing what he does best: holding the president to account.

"For weeks now, Trump's been acting like coronavirus is no big deal," says Colbert. "Even as cases mounted, he said it was under control. He told us to relax. He said warnings about it were a Democratic hoax. He said the infection rate would go to zero. He said it would miraculously go away on its own. Now that things are bad, he has a new strategy — and it's his same old strategy."

Colbert then cuts to a clip of Trump at a recent press conference, saying he "felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic."

"No, bad Trump!" says Colbert. "You don't get to do that! Everything you ever said is on camera, or on Twitter. You can't gaslight us."

On a more cheering note, the segment ends with a video chat between Colbert and Jon Batiste, followed by a hand-washing musical parody of the Irish classic "Danny Boy."

Keep 'em coming, Colbert.
