If this joke catches on, Stephen Colbert may have done to Trump what Tina Fey did to Palin

My sense of humor did not catch onto this joke. I do not like knifes-esp the violence associated with them. Anyway...

This Stephen Colbert joke just put Donald Trump’s entire campaign in context
If this catches on, goodbye: Donald Trump, the poor underdog, with just a small seven-figure loan from dad. VIDEO

.....The real attacks from The Donald came surrounding Carson’s pep as a candidate. The seemingly sleepy former neurosurgeon is about as soft-spoken as Trump is loud. Carson’s sparkling droopy lids are no match for Trump’s mouth, however. Colbert agrees, saying that energy is absolutely the most important thing in a leader. “Who can forget Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg workout tape: With the Absolitionist of Steel.”


Carson, of course, shot back with stories about being super badass in his youth and trying to stab some dude. (A claim that is now being questioned. But Colbert sympathized because he made it onto his high school’s stabbing team when he was just 14. “Trump better watch himself, because if he comes after Ben Carson, the good doctor will write him a prescription for 10 cc’s of vitamin knife.”
