WARREN: "Calling on Trump for help is like-if your house is on fire-calling an arsonist to come help



“Let’s be real clear,” Warren began. “Donald Trump is looking out for exactly one guy, and that guy’s name is Donald Trump,” and the audience cheered. “Look, he smells that there is change in the air and what he wants to do is make sure that change works really, really well for Donald Trump.”

Colbert repeated Trump’s claims that he wanted to win for America so much we’d get tired of winning, but Warren wasn’t having it. “This is the deal, you gotta kinda look a little closer at Donald Trump. Because this is his main claim to how it is that he says he’s qualified to be president of the United States. He says, in business he wins, wins, wins. Well, the truth is: He inherited a fortune from his father… he kept it going by cheating and defrauding people, and then he treks detractors through chapter 11.”

Attempting to clarify as a pre-emptive strike against litigation, Colbert said that Trump has never broken the law. Warren insisted that Trump has never been caught breaking the law. “Look, that really is the heart of it, that Donald Trump knows that there’s change and the question is: ‘So what’s gonna happen from that?’ We have an economy that’s in real trouble. But when the economy is in this kind of trouble calling on Donald Trump for help is like, if your house is on fire, calling an arsonist to come help out.”
