From Quora. David Shapiro on Colbert and Trump

Why does Stephen Colbert speak about President Trump in such an unprofessional and horrible manner?
David Schapiro

Let’s answer this question with another. You walk into a bar. There is a man there, speaking loudly. You hear him call one of the patrons “Crooked”. You hear him call another customer a “Liar”. He calls most of the customers “rapists and murderers.” You see him walk up to a war hero and call him a loser for having been captured defending the country. The bartender suggests that the man is being rude and not respecting his establishment. The loud man turns to the bartender and says “you’re a liar and a fake! Why are you lying about my behavior? “ The bouncer at the bar asks the man to calm down and respect the customers. The loud man says “Why are you singling me out! This is a witch hunt! Why don’t you go after the lady who was in the bar last week who was on her phone emailing all night!” The loud man starts bragging about grabbing women by the pussy, about how popular he is and how everyone loves him. About how he’s kicked out all the paying customers at the bar and brought in his friends and gave them free drinks which he had no authority to do.

A man in a suit stands up and says “sir, you’re being rude. This is a friendly establishment and you are demeaning it with your behavior.”

…and the man in the suit is the one who is horrible and unprofessional?
