I have to say I was a little disappointed in Stephen Colbert’s monologue on The Late Show last night when he made fun of what might have been the one reasonable part of President Trump’s speech at the United Nations yesterday, namely suggesting that countries from which immigration is originating should be given help to “make them great again” or some such phrase.
Look, I have no illusions that Trump actually believes this, or, if he were to discover that American actions were at fault, that he’d try to correct them. And I certainly wouldn’t wish to work with him on such a project.
But the sentiment is, I believe, appropriate.
