Stephen Colbert doesn't back down on Donald Trump

On Monday night, comedian Stephen Colbert opened his late show Dipping bread into the pile of Jeffrey Epstein emails that the Democrats have made public. Many of the messages revealed the relationship between the magnate and Donald Trump, which the president has always denied. They also showed that Trump was aware of the existence of the young girls abused by the sexual predator's circle of influence. The host highlighted some of the most revealing phrases. For example, one from Epstein where he commented on Trump's character: "I've met some very bad people. But nobody as bad as Donald Trump. There isn't a single decent cell in his body." Colbert, brimming with satisfaction, commented sarcastically: "It'll hurt to have someone like Jeffrey Epstein tell you you're a bad guy."

The comedian then referred to one of the emails that, over the weekend, had generated the most rumors, jokes, and gossip. He added a touch of sarcasm, aware that everyone knew which comment he was referring to: "One that has shaken the hearts and minds of the entire nation." Mockingly, he made himself look forward to it: "Come on... you know which one it is..." The audience applauded and laughed, impatient for what he would say next. Colbert was referring to a 2018 email in which Mark Epstein wrote to his brother Jeffrey asking him to ask his friend Steve Bannon about something: "Ask him if Putin has the photos of Trump giving Bubba a blowjob." The request is somewhat cryptic. Hence the social uproar it has caused. And Colbert, who will be closing his show next year due to pressure from Trump, knows he doesn't have much to lose. At first, he pretended to be on good terms and wouldn't discuss such a sensitive matter to avoid further problems, but then he confessed that he couldn't resist. Theblowing BubbaThe phrase is a metaphorical expression that can be interpreted in a sexual sense, especially if, supposedly, there are photos of Putin involved that could compromise Trump. Colbert played on the ambiguity of the message: "Who is this lucky Bubba?" he exclaimed. And then he reminded everyone that Bubba was also the name of Ghislaine Maxwell's horse, Epstein's wife. His impunity and his power. We'll have to see if the documents are finally released, how Trump will react, and what the legal implications of it all will be. But, curiously, it's the stand-up routines of comedians that circulate the political scandal most quickly, clearly, and effectively.
