Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, very kind.

Welcome, welcome, one and all to the Late Show.

I'm your host, Stephen Colbert, Ladies and gentlemen, I probably don't have to tell you, check your calendars.

It's January 20th, which means Donald Trump has been in office for exactly 1,000 years.

During that time, he has monopolized our attention every second of every minute of every hour of every day.

Which is sad, because today we're not focusing on the real meaning of January 20th.

A lot has happened in a short time this year alone.

Trump renamed the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America, held a giant military parade on his birthday, said he wants Canada to be our 51st state, signed an executive order ending birthright citizenship, tore down the east wing of the White House to build a ballroom, cover the remaining parts of the White House in golden gee gaws.

Forced Paramount to make Rush Hour 4, made himself the chair of the Kennedy center board, then renamed it the Trump Kennedy center, and

You didn't remember most of that stuff because every single day, there's some new Trump horror dominating the headlines.

Case in point, Trump invaded Venezuela a couple of weeks ago, seized their leader and brought him to Brooklyn.

And absolutely nobody's talking about it, not even me.

And it's probably, really, it's probably the whole point.

Today's maniacal criminality distracts us from yesterday's maniac crimes.

Which reminds me, where are the Epstein files?

The point is, the last year has been exhausting, and not just for us.

That's why Trump's always falling asleep.

Trump celebrated his one year anniversary today, this afternoon, with a totally planned surprise appearance in the White House press room.

Now, obviously, the President is a very busy man, so he can only speak for two hours.

Time magazine raves Trump tag accomplishments and grudges in rambling speech to White House press.

The New Republic says Trump, 79, kicks off press conference by reading aloud to himself.

Fear soared during bizarre press briefing.

And Stephen Colbert says, these are the mad ramblings of a syphilitic brain.

Trump began the press conference steadily and sleepily, holding up pictures of immigrants with criminal records.

You're not getting bored with this, right?

Is it bored when your testicles snap up against your pelvis while your heart beats like a tweaked out woodpecker and you're worried for your grandchildren that haven't even been born yet?

Is it still technically sundowning if it happens at 2 o' clock in the afternoon?

Now, when Trump wasn't silently holding up his immigrant Pokemon cards, he tried to tout his many accomplishments, including sending the National Guard to dc.

You can walk right from here to a restaurant right through the center of town.

You can be with your child, with your loved one, with your lover.

Your lover's not going to be killed anymore, so he can act like a real lover.

I mean, your lover's not going to be killed.

And remember, there must be 50 ways to kill your lover.

You could murder Francine Jean, you could run over with a bus.

Point is, I'm still crazy after all these years.

Anyway, that happened today and we'll forget it tomorrow because Trump's focused on conquering Greenland now, and

he hasn't ruled out using the military for that.

In fact, this weekend, he threatened tariffs against any NATO allies who sent a few dozen troops there, including Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and

We import a billion dollars a year of finished paper and paperboard, articles of pulp, paper and board.

And you know the old saying, first they came from my paper board and I said nothing.

Then they came from my paper and board, and I was like, how is that different?

Unlike all of his previous tariff threats, Europe did not cave this time.

I got to check the passports before these people leave.
