Stephen Colbert cited a report that President Donald Trump needed some cheering up and wanted to help.

In the midst of the Republican healthcare plan facing an uphill climb in the House, and many concerns over his wiretapping claims, Politico reported that the judicial blocking of his revised travel ban broke Trump's spirits. In response, White House officials tried to brighten the president's mood by showing him a Fox News segment arguing that the Supreme Court would never uphold the decisions.
