President Donald Trump’s onetime suggestion to set black and white contestants against each other for a series of “The Apprentice” angered Stephen Colbert on Monday night.

“Are you kidding me?” asked the host of “The Late Show,” after he’d picked apart Trump’s recent attacks on four congresswomen of color.

Trump told radio host Howard Stern in 2005 that the white team would probably all be blondes. “He was planning a race war-themed reality show and somehow made it more offensive?” asked Colbert.
