"For weeks now, Trump's been acting like coronavirus is no big deal. Even as cases mounted, he said it was under control," Colbert said in a "The Flame Show" Late Show web video. "He told us to relax. He said warnings about it were a Democratic hoax. He said the infection rate would go to zero. He said it would miraculously go away on its own. Now that things are bad, he has a new strategy — and it's his same old strategy." Colbert then cuts to a clip of Trump on Monday saying he "felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic." Colbert responded to the clip: "No, bad Trump! You don't get to do that! Everything you ever said is on camera, or on Twitter. You can't gaslight us."
