“Wow, that really takes balls, to manipulate a video of your opponent to make him way cooler," Colbert said on Wednesday night.
"What’s Trump going to say next? 'I saw Joe Biden smoking a spliff outside the 7-Eleven,'" he added. "The store told him to stop, and he said, 'Can it, daddio,' and jumped into the sidecar of Steve McQueen’s motorcycle. And they jumped a fence. That’s bad boy Joe. Don’t date him, girls!”

Trump earlier Wednesday shared a fake video that gave the impression that Biden was playing the NWA song "F--- tha Police" on his phone. Biden was instead playing "Despacito" after being introduced by Puerto Rican artist Luis Fonsi at an event in Florida.
The manipulated content was originally tweeted by a pro-Trump parody account "The United Spot."
The president added the caption "What is this all about?" when sharing the video.
Twitter flagged Trump's retweet as "manipulated media."
Biden was also mocked for deciding to play "Despacito," with some accusing the former vice president of pandering to Hispanics.
Imagine how desperate you have to be to play ‘Despacito’ in attempt to win the Hispanic vote.

The #Despacito bit suggests desperation. #Biden is failing w/Hispanics bc he has no decent economic policies.#Latinos KNOW how bad #Cuba, #Venezuela are. playing a song on your phone isn’t going to change that.
Btw. “Despacito” means SLOWLY in Spanish. Not a bright move.
