Think Trump is imitating Veep? So does Stephen Colbert.
On CNN Thursday morning, John Berman and Alisyn Camerota marveled at how similar President Trump's rally in Florida on Wednesday was to Sunday night's episode of Veep, filmed months earlier. They weren't the first ones to note eerie similarities between Trump's time as candidate and president and the fictional Selina Meyer's reign of error — in fact, Veep writers have struggled to separate Trump fact from their satire. Stephen Colbert took that synchronicity and ran with it — into another dimension — with help with the Veep cast.
"The things that you're doing on this Earth are then happening in my world, over and over again!" Colbert warned Julia Louis-Dreyfus' Meyer on Thursday's Late Show, after walking through some sort of space-time portal. If you're not in the parallel-dimensions sci-fi aspect of the skit, the brutal Veep-style mockery of Colbert might be worth your 3 minutes.
