that one was called "obama-nate your abs." [ laughter ] i mean, remember you could just do normal stuff without your phone buzzing constantly, because the president said something racist and insane it used to be when you were in the grocery store and heard someone say "son of a bitch," it was because they were out of paper towels now it's because they looked down at their phone and saw the president scream tweet something in all caps like "the bust of abraham lincoln is spying on me, not nice."

day searching for ways to blame or attack enemies, for literally anything no matter what it is. for example, on friday he was asked if he was planning an exter ed stay at his bedminste resort in new jersey and in his response he found a way to take a truly insane swipe air-conditioning in the white house. >> so i go to bedminster which is a beautiful place, but it's never a vacation it's working mostly. >> are you plaing a trip to bedminster over an extended period of time >> i hope not, because i like working. i'd rather be right here, but probably over a short period of time a lot of times you go, and they do a lot of work in the white house. for instance, the obama administration worked out a brand-new air-conditioning system for the west wing and it was so od before they d the system now that they did the system, it's freezing or hot in here [ light laughter ] >> seth: well, maybe it's hot, because you're president, and this is hell and maybe it's freezing, because when you were elected, hell

froze over [ cheers and applause trump has been losing his mind in part over the various congressional investigations of his corruption, because he's a fundamentally lawless president. and one of the democrats charged with investigating trump in ry congress is mand congressman elijah cummings. he's the chair of the house oversight committee, so it's literally his job to conductsi overt of the administration. for example, cummings has criticized and held hearings on the cruel and inhumane conditions in border detention centers, which even trump's own department of homeland securitye called danus in a report released earlier this month. and cummings has also been investigating the use of private accounts to conduct official business by some of trump's closest aides and advisers cummings is doing his job by investigating trump and trying to hold this administration accountable. so naturally, trump responded the onlyay he's capable of, with a vile, racist tirade >> president trump picked another twitter fight with an african-amican lawmaker, calling representative elijah cummings a brutal bully for shouting and screaming at

trump officialtestifying before congress. "the border is clean, efficient, and well-run, just very crowded," mr. trump tweeted. before disparaging cummings' west baltimore district as a rodent-infested mess >> seth: so once again, he attacked a congress member of color byfesing the word, ined, just as he did two weeks ago when he told four democratic congresswomen of color, three of whom were born here and all of whom are americans to go back to the crime-infested places from which they came. hey man, the only thing that's infested here is your brai you know, that one there yeah laughter and applause i mean, i'd ask -- i'd ask you toerpologize to these lawmak for your racist tirades, but you can't even say the word, lawmakers. >> he's worked in both houses of s.ngress, advising lawmark >> seth: that's right. [ laughter ] lawmarrs as in, i think trump has been sniffing lawmarkers [ light laughter ]

he keeps coming back to this racist trope, because he's racist it's the core of his ideology. on fox news sunday, trump's acting chief of staff mick mulvaney tried to defend the tweets, absurdly claiming they had nothing to do with race but host, chris wallace, wasn't having it. >> there is a clear pattern here, mick the fact is that before his inau -- that before inauguraon, the president tweeted about john lewis, a black congressman, that he - this is before his inauguration, he should spend time in s crime-infested district. g then two weeks ago, s after these four members of the squad, all women of color, andhe says tshould go back to the crime-infested countries from which they come.t then he talks abouel ijah cummings, and he says his district is rat and rodent infested infested it sounds like vermin.ou it ss subhuman that there -- and these are all six members -- members of congress who are people of colo >> i think you're spending way too much time reading between the lines. does anybody -

if i'm going to be typecast, that's me. [ laughter ] yeah medid stand-up before i ca here >> seth: and how did it go >> i mean, not amazing ththing with stand-up in britain is there's a period of time -- i mean, it's the same here, like, physically - there's a period of time before audience can see you, but you don't have the ability to start speaking yet and in britain, they're kind of just sizing up your physical weaknesses - [ laughter ] -- to then use against you so i had round glasses at the and it was the time th harry potter was a big deal.
