Stephen Colbert mocked Donald Trump saying he “lost his s***” during the closing arguments at his New York civil fraud trial.

With the months-long civil fraud case against Mr Trump, his sons and chief associates at the Trump Organization wrapping up, the former president didn’t pass up the opportunity to launch into a rapid-fire tirade against the case in court.

Mr Trump had been adamant about delivering the closing statement in his defence.

The move was previously denied by Judge Arthur Engoron, before he granted Mr Trump another chance – on the condition that he did not speak on matters irrelevant to the case.

But, Mr Trump ended up plunging into a long-winded statement, claiming he should be paid damages for what he has gone through – calling the case a “fraud on me.”

Hours later,The Late Show host teased Mr Trump, who has $370m on the line and will potentially never be able to do business in New York again.

“We don’t know how much he’s gonna lose [in the trial]; all we know is that today in court, he lost his s***,” Mr Colbert said on Thursday night.

Mocking the Republican presidential nominee, Mr Colbert launched into his own version of Mr Trump’s breathless-sounding statement.
