'Words don't just disappear': Colbert mocks Trump after he claims he didn't say 'Tim Apple'

On Monday, comedian Stephen Colbert mocked President Donald Trump for calling Apple CEO Tim Cook, Tim Apple.

Colbert said that news had already made its rounds and was starting to die down right before Trump brought it up again.

"It was over and now it has reblossomed into an ongoing national scandal," Colbert joked.

"Trump resurrected the Apple controversy by telling donors that he said 'Tim Cook Apple really fast' and that the Cook part of the sentence was 'really soft,'" Colbert said.

Trump then blamed the "fake news" for reporting the story.

"Mr. President words don't just disappear," Colbert said.
