Stephen Colbert said the final days of the presidential campaign are taking a toll on Donald Trump as he limps across the finish line amid scrutiny over his mental acuity.

The former president tried to throw out a football metaphor.

But Colbert pointed out that Trump “made a little mouth fumble.”

“All we have to do is carry that ball over that... thing,” Trump said:
