President Trump's Charlottesville remarks Tuesday met with disbelief from network hosts—and ridicule from their late-night counterparts. Trump is a "total disaster" who needs to go, Jimmy Kimmel told viewers. Trump supporters should "treat the situation like you would if you'd put Star Wars wallpaper up in the kitchen: 'All right, I got caught up. I was excited, I made a mistake, and now it needs to go,'" he said, per the New York Times. Kimmel suggested Trump be promoted to a king with no power. "We need to set him up in a castle ... lead him to the top and then lock the door to that castle—forever." Other reactions:
- Stephen Colbert. The Late Show host played a clip of Trump saying "I think there's blame on both sides and I have no doubt about it and neither do you," and quipped: "The only thing I'm doubting right now is if you’re still going to be president by Friday," Mediaite reports. Colbert also poked fun at Trump for saying the white nationalists in Charlottesville had a permit for their protest. "You've got to give it to the Nazis," he said. "They always do their paperwork."
