Stephen Colbert: Donald Trump Is Shutdown's 'Biggest Loser'

Stephen Colbert discussed the latest shutdown stalemate during his Late Show monologue Thursday, with the late-night host pointing out that while both sides are losers in this shutdown, Donald Trump is the “biggest loser.”

“It doesn’t look like it’s going to end any time soon because earlier today, as expected, the Senate rejected competing Republican and Democrat plans to end Trump’s shutdown,” Colbert said. “Even though both bills lost, the biggest loser here was the President, because the Democrats’ bill got more votes than Trump’s.”

Colbert added, “Did you hear that? The Democrats won the losing.”

Colbert then discussed the plight of the federal workers who can’t make ends meet and, in some extreme cases, have been forced to sleep in homeless shelters while the stalemate in Washington, D.C. rages on.
