Technically doesn't Trump also spend a lot of time golfing, and attending events where people praise Trump - admittedly for broadcast on TV but not necessarily while watching TV?

I see that it's become harder to track because the White House doesn't disclose what he's doing as much, but yeah, lots of golf still.

Sure, jokes are often technically incorrect while performing a directionally-correct summation of the truth of the matter.

But also, the few times I've been unfortunate enough to have to go to mega golf venues, the clubhouses generally have TVs prominently all over the place. So there is quite the demographic overlap.

HN's penchant for pedantic literalism will never cease to amaze (and dismay) me.

It's a joke man, Colbert isn't the only one allowed to make jokes, so don't be dismayed.
