Late Show host Stephen Colbert on Wednesday said trump’s event a day earlier “went off the rails pretty darn quick.”
Dementia boy was supposed to discuss new investments in artificial intelligence and energy, but then derailed himself with a long, strange ramble about his uncle, John Trump, who was a professor at MIT.

Lyin’ DJ’s uncle was not the longest-serving professor at MIT. His undergraduate and doctorate degrees were in electrical engineering and he had a master’s degree in physics — not “nuclear, chemical, and math.”
TACO also said his uncle taught Ted Kaczynski, the “Unabomber” terrorist who killed people via mail bombs. The president told a whole story about asking his uncle what kind of student Kaczynski was.
His uncle, TACO claimed, told him that the future Unabomber was “seriously good” and would correct the other students’ work.
None of this is true.
Kaczynski went to Harvard, not MIT.
“Even more insane,” Colbert said, The convict ’s uncle died more than a decade before Kaczynski was identified as the person sending explosives and arrested.
