At the very end:

Trump: “I am asking you to choose greatness no matter the trials we face.”

Colbert: “Well, in that case, sir, I choose you face a trial because that will be great.”

Orwell’s Politics and The English Language (1946):

“When one watches some tired hack on the platform mechanically repeating the familiar phrases – bestial atrocities, iron heel, bloodstained tyranny, free peoples of the world, stand shoulder to shoulder – one often has a curious feeling that one is not watching a live human being but some kind of dummy…”

“In our time, political speech and writing are largely the defence of the indefensible…The inflated style itself is a kind of euphemism. A mass of Latin words falls upon the facts like soft snow, blurring the outline and covering up all the details.”
