Stephen Colbert declared Donald Trump's tweet about the Emmys "factually incorrect" on Wednesday night when responding to the criticism.
"I was saddened to see how bad the ratings were on the Emmys last night - the worst ever," Trump tweeted Tuesday. "Smartest people of them all are the 'DEPLORABLES.'"
First off, Colbert doesn't even understand why Trump is sad about Emmys ratings.

"The Emmys weren't last night from when he tweeted it, they were Sunday," Colbert continued. "And it wasn't the worst rated Emmys, because according to the Nielson ratings, 11.4 million people watched it, slightly more than last year's lowest-ever audience of 11.3 million."
"That's right, we had the second-worst ratings of all time. In your face," Colbert said, then celebrated the accomplishment by leading his audience in a "we suck less" chant.
