Because I can’t decide what scares me more.” Colbert then addressed [the president’s tweetstorm regarding the Dallas Cowboys’ whole team kneeling before the anthem](http://time.com/4956922/trump-twitter-dallas-cowboys-nfl-kneeling/), which included a tweet that read: ” The booing at the NFL football game last night, when the entire Dallas team dropped to its knees, was the loudest I have ever heard.” > [](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/912626731357540353) “Really? That’s the loudest booing you ever heard?” Colbert said before telling the studio audience that “Donald Trump is president” which elicited a cacophony of boos. “Thank you! I think I have my new ringtone,” Colbert said. Watch the full clip below.
