Stephen Colbert Rips Trump's New Tax Plan

During Thursday night's edition of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," the host took aim at President Trump's new tax reform proposal.

Colbert showed a clip of Trump touting the plan, in which the president said, "I'm doing the right thing, and it's not good for me, believe me."

"I believe you," Colbert retorted. "Doing the right thing never seems to be good for Donald Trump. 'Oh, what do people like, racial equality and football? How do I ruin both of those at once?'"

The plan would save Trump $31 million based on the one tax return he has publicly released, Colbert said. (For more national political news, sign up for the free White House Patch email newsletter.)

The comedian moved on to reports that at least six Trump administration officials have used private emails to conduct White House business. Trump made his opponent Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server a cornerstone of his campaign, inspiring his supporters to chant, "Lock her up!" at rallies.

"I have not seen Donald Trump go back on his word like this since he didn't build a border wall, or repeal Obamacare, or give up his businesses, or release his tax returns or never play golf," Colbert quipped.
