Stephen Colbert described Trump’s appearance on the second day of the Republican National Convention as like Rocky Balboa fighting for Russia.

Colbert said:
It was around 9 p.m. Trump walked into the arena like Rocky Balboa. If Rocky had fought for Russia and was supposed to come later. True. But Trump changed his schedule to show up early to hear Nikki Haley and Ronda DeSantis speak. Yes, the former president changed his schedule to see his defeated rivals praise him while drinking Diet Coke made out of Chris Christie’s skull.
Trump is so weak and obnoxious that he changed his schedule to hear Haley and DeSantis praise him. Trump still had the ridiculous cartoon bandage on his ear, and the speakers on the second night insisted that God chose to save Trump instead of all the innocent people who die from gun violence every year.
Donald Trump’s convention was a mix of self-pity party, apotheosis, and delusional pep rally.
Stephen Colbert did everything perfectly.
