Stephen Colbert on Trump's Unprecedented 2020 Ad Buy: 'Kill Me'

As if the 2016 campaign didn't feel long enough, President Trump just released his first reelection ad for 2020 this week.

"Kill me," "Late Show" host Stephen Colbert quipped.

As CNN noted, it's the earliest ad that has ever aired in a first term.

"Now, listen," continued Colbert. "I have a message for our president—no new elections until you finish your wars."

"Keep in mind," he then told the audience, before rolling a clip, "this is really a campaign ad... when I first saw this ad, I said, 'you have to be kidding.'"

The $1.5 million spot begins with a narrator stating opinion: "Donald Trump, sworn in as president 100 days ago. America has rarely seen such success."
