[Stephen Colbert](http://time.com/4750131/stephen-colbert-donald-trump-impersonator/) took time to reflect on [President Donald Trump](http://time.com/4753785/donald-trump-100-day-promises/)‘s [first 100 days in office](http://time.com/money/4752298/trump-100-days-grade-health-care/) — “and boy, it sure seems longer,” he joked.

On Monday’s [_The Late Show with Stephen Colbert_](http://time.com/collection-post/4130218/top-10-tv-episodes-2/item/the-late-show-with-stephen-colbert-joe-biden-interview/), the comedian [criticized](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2Dop7haDnY) the president for [not fulfilling many](http://time.com/4753199/trump-100-days-poll-promises-surveymonkey/) of his promises during his first 100 days in office — a traditional benchmark typically used to evaluate a president’s accomplishments during the first few months in office.

But to Colbert, Trump “hasn’t got a lot of those.”

“But — and it’s a big but — he did sign a law making it easier for mentally ill people to buy guns and for hibernating bears to be hunted, so, took care of his base: insane people who want to murder Yogi,” Colbert said.

Trump called the milestone marker, which is on Saturday, a “ridiculous standard” in a tweet last week.

> [](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/855373184861962240)

Colbert tried to determine what the “S.C.” referred to in Trump’s tweet — speculating that it could mean Supreme Court, “Spicer Catastrophe,” or even “Stephen Colbert.”

“I got to say, Trump certainly has done a lot for me in the first 100 days,” he said.

The late-night host also roasted Trump over his recent comments on how he gets network television shows higher ratings than they had during the Sept. 11 terror attacks. “Mr. President, I know you’re proud of your ratings, but,” Colbert said, “How do I say this — it’s not a good thing to compare yourself to 9/11, right?”

Colbert continued, imitating Trump: “My first 100 days have been huge. Titanic, OK? We’re blowing up, OK? Bigger than anything since Nagasaki. That’s how big.”
