Stephen Colbert Busts Trumps Favorite Myth About Himself After Judges Smackdown

Stephen Colbert is taking great joy in Judge Juan Merchans threat to jail Donald Trump  for contempt if the former president continues to violate the gag order tied to his criminal trial in the Stormy Daniels hush money case. 

Merchan said locking Trump up may be necessary if he keeps attacking witnesses, jurors and others linked to the case. 

I dont know if its necessary for Trump, Colbert said. But I need it. 

Merchan ordered Trump to remove the social media posts that violated the order and fined him $9,000. 

$9,000 may not seem like a lot to a successful businessman, Colbert said. But what about to Trump?

The former president likes to portray himself as a successful businessman when, in fact, many of his ventures from a casino to steaks have flopped.
