If ever you find yourself wondering whether or not Donald Trump thinks about the average American when he makes his decisions, just ask him yourself. Apparently he's happy to give an honest answer.

In the Late Show clip above, Stephen Colbert plays footage of the president telling a reporter: “I don’t think about Americans’ financial situations. I don’t think about anybody. I think about one thing: We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon."

"Honestly, there's not a whole lot going on upstairs," growls Colbert, in trademark Trump impression mode. "Most of the time I'm thinking about that little monkey playing the symbols. Either that or boobs, OK? Sometimes monkey boobs. Monkey see, monkey boob. Sometimes, this is just me, I'm thinking about sea monkey boobs."
