Stephen Colbert Mocks Trump's First Lady of France Comment  by [Cady Lang](https://time.com/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang Jul 14, 2017 4:58 PM UTC  by [Cady Lang](https://time.com/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang Jul 14, 2017 4:58 PM UTC [Stephen Colbert](http://time.com/4854416/stephen-colbert-eric-trump-donald-trump-jr-russia-emails/) took the President to task for his [comments on Thursday to the First Lady of France, Brigitte Macron](http://fortune.com/2017/07/13/donald-trump-brigitte-macron-such-good-shape/). On [_The Late Show With Stephen Colbert_](http://time.com/4854633/andy-serkis-reads-trump-tweets-video/), the late night funny man admonished Trump for telling Macron that she was in “such good shape” before remarking to another person that she was “in such good physical shape” and that she was “beautiful.” Colbert was candid in his [humor](http://time.com/4775633/donald-trump-stephen-colbert-cnn-msnbc-chris-cuomo/) while addressing the president’s remarks to the First Lady. “Today, Trump met with France’s elegant First Lady, Brigitte Macron,” he said. “And of course, he treated her like any other woman — by objectifying her.” He then reprimanded Trump with another dig. “Bad Donald! Bad!” Colbert said. “This is not one of your European-wife shopping trips — this is business!” Watch the clip below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4858728/stephen-colbert-donald-trump-on-brigitte-macron/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4858728/stephen-colbert-donald-trump-on-brigitte-macron/"},"headline":"'Bad Donald.'
