He was the first sitting president to attend oral arguments, but the day probably didn’t unfold as he expected, and Colbert made a crack about Trump’s notoriously short attention span.
“If you’re wondering how President Adderall could sit through a whole day of legal proceedings, the answer is that he couldn’t,” Colbert said.

The audience cheered wildly at that last phrase, which came from a Daily Beast headline about the president’s trip to the high court.
“Humiliated or just confused?” Colbert wondered, then broke out his impression of a confused Trump at the Supreme Court.
“Well, that was awkward. All nine of them wore the same black muumuu,” he said. “The worst production of ‘Sister Act’ I’ve ever seen!”
