President-elect Donald Trump has been dismissing findings about his historically-low approval rating on Twitter lately, so Stephen Colbert used his monologue during Tuesdays episode of The Late Show to mock the president-elects tweets.
Hes got the lowest approval rating of any incoming president in modern history, but hey its not a popularity contest and neither was the election, Colbert said. On Tuesday, Trump, whose approval ratings recently hit a low of 40%, according to new polls, tweeted The same people who did the phony election polls and were so wrong, are now doing approval rating polls. They are rigged just like before.
Yes, evidently any bad news for Trump is rigged, Colbert said, referencing the tweet. The host even created a fake Trump tweet of his own in the event of rain on inauguration day. Fake weather. Clouds are rigged. Apologize!
Colbert also took on Trumps tweet attacking Democratic Congressman and civil rights leader John Lewis on Twitter Saturday with another parody tweet that lampooned the incoming Presidents comments on President Barack Obama and Senator John McCain, this time with an Easter twist.

OP
With low approval numbers, trump could get repealed and replaced by Congress.
