Stephen Colbert torched Donald Trump over a strange complaint the former president had about pop superstar Taylor Swift.

Trump repeatedly called Swift “beautiful,” but doesn’t like her politics ― and thinks she might be faking it, according to a new book, “Apprentice In Wonderland.”

Colbert said Trump seems surprised that anyone who is “beautiful” might not like him, so he offered the former president an example.

“Has he never met his wife?” Colbert asked.
