\u201cLate Show\u201d host Stephen Colbert<\/a> mocked President Donald Trump<\/a> as \u201cCaptain Cankles<\/a>\u201d after his low-energy address to military leaders on Tuesday, starting with his slow approach to the lectern. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThat shamble up to the mic was about as high as his energy got for the whole day,\u201d Colbert said. \u201cThe president is so anti-woke he\u2019s barely conscious.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Trump complained about the \u201csilent\u201d room, as military leaders don\u2019t typically applaud or react to political speeches, then went on tangents about everything from \u201cthe n-word<\/a>\u201d to types and quality of paper<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But the oddest moment may have been when he discussed his approach to stairs. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019m very careful, you know, when I walk down stairs,\u201d he said. \u201cI walk very slowly. You don\u2019t have to set any record. Be cool.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Then, the president complained about how former President Barack Obama<\/a> tackled stairs. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cBe cool when you walk down, but don\u2019t bop down the stairs,\u201d Trump said. \u201cSo, one thing with Obama, I had zero respect for him as a president, but he would bop down those stairs, I\u2019ve never seen.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Trump then did some sound effects and gestures to describe how Obama would \u201cbop\u201d down staircases. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When the camera came back to Colbert, he had a confused look on his face and stood silent for more than 10 seconds as the audience laughed. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWhat the hell are you talking about?\u201d he eventually said. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He asked for footage of Obama walking down the stairs of Air Force One \u2015 but when the clip rolled, it also had Trump\u2019s sound effects. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
