The Wrap Stephen Colbert Says Trump-Epstein Statue on National Mall Wasn't 'Realistic': 'Trump Can't Stand on One Leg!'

A statue depicting President Trump frolicking and holding hands with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein (with whom he shares a long-documented connection) briefly appeared on the National Mall this week — but for Stephen Colbert, it wasn’t quite realistic enough.

During his monologue on Wednesday night, the CBS host applauded the placement and detail work of the statue, but had just a small bone to pick with the actual scene depicted.

“It’s a lovely piece, but I got to say, not very realistic. Trump can’t stand on one leg, not with those cankles!” Colbert joked. “It would be like trying to balance him on a sock full of overripe honeydew.”

The late night host then explained that the statue was placed in an entirely legal manner, as the creators actually obtained an official permit from the National Parks Service to display it and “demonstrate freedom of speech and artistic expression using political imagery.” Colbert applauded the organization for allowing it to happen, albeit with a caveat.
