If there's one thing Donald Trump is undeniably good at, it's finding someone else to blame. And during a recent press coronavirus press conference, he had the World Health Organization (WHO) firmly in his sights — saying "they've been wrong about a lot of things" and "they missed the call" on COVID-19.

"I think he's projecting," said The Late Show host Stephen Colbert in response on Wednesday, before launching into his trademark Trump impression: "The WHO totally shanked it on coronavirus, and the way they treated their first wife — total disgrace. By the way, there's no way you're 239 pounds, WHO. Not fooling anybody. It's sad."

Next up, Colbert played a clip of Trump threatening to "put a hold on money spent to the WHO."

"Yes, he is going to cut off America's contribution to the World Health Organization, during a pandemic!" said Colbert. "Help, I'm being robbed! Quick, fire the police!"

What a mess.
