It's just three weeks until the Nov. 8 election and "Late Late Show" host James Corden joked that it seems the candidates are finally getting down to the issues. By issues, he seems to mean that Trump has a lot of issues with his campaign right now.
"Now, when voters heard this they were like, 'Awww, there's another debate this week?! Haven't we been through enough?!'" Corden joked.
Corden played the hilarious video of Trump's determined plea that voters believe Clinton is now the Lance Armstrong of the presidential debate world. "This election is now definitely a pissing contest," Corden noted. "I have an idea! Don't test them. Test me, right? Because I feel like I'm on LSD at this point. We're talking about grabbing genitals, Russian hackers, poisoned Skittles, I'm freaking out, man!"
For the record, Corden totally believes Clinton was juicing for the debate. Showing a photo of her calmly sitting in her chair as Trump implodes, he noted, "She's high as balls." He then broke into a fit of giggles at the absurdity of his own accusations.
"Trump's comments aren't just ridiculous, some of them are also desperate," he continued. "For the last couple of weeks, Trump has been suggesting in speeches and on Twitter that the Nov. 8 election will be rigged. And when the American people heard Trump could lose from a rigged election they said, 'Sure, whatever works. Just as long as he doesn't get in, do what you've got to do.'"
Trump might have a point about the rigged election, Corden remarked. "He was given a multi-million-dollar loan from his dad, he made millions off his casinos despite bankrupting them, he hasn't paid taxes in up to 20 years, I mean, when is this guy going to catch a break?"
Trump is actually telling his supporters that the turnout will somehow be manipulated by the Democrats on Election Day. "Then again, this is coming from the guy who said this," Corden then played the video of Trump telling his supporters to "get out and vote on Nov. 28th." Corden joked, "No wonder he thinks it's fixed!"
It will likely become a news network, some sort of pre-digested Trump news. "For people that like the news but feel like it's not being yelled at them loud enough," Corden joked. He can't wait to watch Trump TV, though, saying that the network will have "all kinds of exciting programming. It's going to have content that really grabs you by the p*ssy."
