Donald Trump
Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current president of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality. Trump was born and raised in Queens, a borough of New York City, and received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School. He took charge of his family's real-estate business in 1971, renamed it The Trump Organization, and expanded its operations from Queens and Brooklyn into Manhattan. The company built or renovated skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump later started various side ventures, mostly by licensing his name. He bought the Miss Universe brand of beauty pageants in 1996, and sold it in 2015. He produced and hosted The Apprentice, a reality television series, from 2003 to 2015. As of 2020, Forbes estimated his net worth to be $2.1 billion.[

On his final sentence, he got visibly agitated, yelling out “This is the planet Earth!” And of course, Colbert was all too happy to point out Barnaby’s logic flaws in that.“There’s a lot to unpack there,” Colbert mocked. “First, the X-Men are from planet Earth.

Second, if you’re against trans people, why would you compare them to incredibly cool superheroes, with laser eyes, indestructible skeletons, or who control the weather with sexiness?”Speaking more seriously, Colbert pointed out that the X-men franchise specifically has always been about inclusivity, so using it to mock trans people simply doesn’t make sense.“Most importantly, the entire message of all of these movies is that society should accept everyone no matter their differences,” Colbert said. “Stan Lee himself said he created the X-Men characters as a metaphor for civil rights, and the franchise is explicitly a gay rights parable.
