President Trump rallied in El Paso on Monday night, and he had some thoughts about dogs — their usefulness, why he won't get one, how he'd look walking one. "Well if this is the way you walk a dog, you would look ridiculous, but don't blame that on the dog," Stephen Colbert said on Tuesday's Late Show. "Someone from the crowd gave Trump the real reason he shouldn't get a dog," Bo and Sunny, he noted. "Trump hates [Barack] Obama so much he'll do anything that is the opposite of what Obama did. Oooh, Mr. President, please remember: Barack Obama was re-elected."

Trump also "stole Hillary Clinton's campaign slogan," Stronger Together, Colbert said. "That's really bold. I mean at this point, it's only a matter of time before he steals her look."

Trump's El Paso rally also featured "an exciting new slogan," Jimmy Kimmel said on Kimmel Live. "'Finish the Wall.' Now he wants Finland to pay for the wall!" He took credit for suggesting "we just let him tell people the wall's being built, because it's not like they're gonna drive over from Alabama to check on the progress, but I was joking." Kimmel played some clips of Donald Trump Jr. warming up the crowd, only he gave him a kid's voice. "This DJTJ is trying so hard to be like his father, I guess it would be cute if it wasn't so pathetic," he said. And he slowed down Trump's comments about drug-sniffing dogs, making him sound drunk.

"Before the president spoke, his son Don Jr. came out to talk to the crowd, and some people said he sounded like he was drunk," Jimmy Fallon said at The Tonight Show, playing that clip. And Trump's comments "about drug-sniffing dogs and why he doesn't have a dog" really "sounded kind of crazy, but maybe it's just because Trump's the one who said it," Fallon said. He had an audience volunteer read Trump's words verbatim, and you can judge for yourself below. Peter Weber
