You have probably heard by now about Trump being fined for flying an insanely huge American flag and using other people's money to do it. Colbert did a wholesgment on it.

What, exactly, does the American flag represent?Stephen Colbert asked him just that when news of Trumps refusal to pay the fee started making the news. And despite his claims of being a staunch believer in the flag and everything it stands for, it turns out that Donald Trump doesnt actually have any idea what it is hes screaming about, telling Colbert point blank, I dont know what the 13 stripes represent.
