Input: Stephen Colbert finally faced off with Donald Trump tonight and told him very bluntly that it’s hard to discern between his over-the-top comments and over-the-top comments his faux conservative character used to say. 
  
 First off, Colbert did not pull his punches in joking about Trump before he came on, roasting his ego and big-headedness. But when Trump came on, Colbert thanked him for running for president and told him if money is speech, he’s “a ten billion dollar mouth.” 
  
 They bantered a bit about Trump’s wealth, his hat, how Mexico’s actually going to pay for the border wall, and whether Trump has anyone he’d like to apologize to. Trump said no. 
  
 Colbert attempted to lob Trump the softest of softballs by asking if President Obama was born in the United States. Trump dodged. 
  
 But perhaps the best part of the interview came at the end, when Colbert told Trump he used to play an “over-the-top conservative character, not as long as you did,” and played a game called “Trump or Colbert.” 
  
 Colbert read off a series of quotes and Trump had to guess whether he said them or Colbert’s over-the-top caricature did. And there was not that big a difference.

 "I want to thank you not only for being here but for running for president," Colbert told the GOP front-runner Tuesday night. "I'm not going to say this stuff writes itself, but you certainly do deliver it on time every day." 
  
 Colbert's gratitude for Trump's comic assistance was well-placed. Peppering Trump with questions and wisecracks during his appearance, the CBS host reduced the usually domineering Trump to straight-man status, an unaccustomed role Trump performed with rare grace. 
  
 Bringing up Trump's proposal to build a wall between the United States and Mexico, Colbert offered his own mocking version of a way to bar illegal immigration: Two walls, and in between them a moat filled with fire and fireproof crocodiles. "Is that enough?" Colbert asked. 
  
 And focusing on Trump's insistence that Mexico would pay for the wall, Colbert drew him into a role-playing exercise — a phone call where "you're you, and I'm the president of Mexico." 
  
 Colbert noted that Trump is leading the field while he vows to finance his campaign out of his own pocket. 
  
 "The Republican Party has been a big pusher of the idea that money is speech, and you're a $10 billion mouth," said Colbert. "You're their worst nightmare." 
  
 "I think the establishment in the Republican Party probably isn't that thrilled," he agreed. 
  
 Trump repeated his contention, as a former heavy campaign donor, that candidates who accept major contributions are typically "owned" by those donors once in office. 
  
 "You gave them a big contribution and you want something and all of a sudden they've very receptive," he said. If you didn't make a healthy gift, "believe me, you get the cold shoulder." 
  
 Colbert asked if Trump really wants to be president: "If you actually got the gig, would that be a step down for you? You know what the pay is like, right?" 
  
 Trump replied that he is running "not because I want it, but because I think I can do a great job." 
  
 When pressed on his past contention that President Barack Obama wasn't born in the United States, Trump deferred. 
  
 "I don't talk about it anymore," he said. 
  
 But he was gung-ho for a game that called for guessing who in the past had made certain outlandish remarks: Trump or the comically conservative blowhard Colbert played for a decade as host of "The Colbert Report." 
  
 Trump or Colbert? "Medicare is like a nice pair of cufflinks. Nobody wears cufflinks anymore." 
  
 "That's you," said Trump. Correct. 
  
 Trump or Colbert? "It's freezing and snowing in New York. We need global warming." 
  
 "I think it's you," Trump hedged, "but it's close to being me." 
  
 It was Trump. 
  
 And finally: "The real strong have no need to prove it to the phonies." 
  
 "It's not me," said Trump after a pause. "It COULD be you." 
  
 "It's not me, either," Colbert said. "It's Charles Manson." 
  
 "Ooooo," said Trump. ||||| Donald Trump ducked an attempt Tuesday by Stephen Colbert to get him to say whether he believes President Obama was born in the United States. 
  
 Colbert called the question a "big fat meatball" that Trump would never have to respond to again if he answered during an afternoon taping of the "Late Show" episode. 
  
 "Barack Obama, born in the United States?" Colbert asked. 
  
 "I don't talk about it anymore," Trump deflected, saying he would rather talk about jobs and veterans' affairs. 
  
 After Trump didn't answer, Colbert said that the "meatball is now being dragged down the steps of the subway by a rat," a reference to a viral video that has made the rounds this week. 
  
 Trump has in the past been a vocal supporter of claims that Obama was not born in the U.S. 
  
 The brash presidential candidate was Colbert's headliner on Tuesday's "Late Show." The two spoke about immigration, the Iran deal, and Trump's run for the White House. 
  
 "I want to thank you for running for president," Colbert said. "I'm not going to say this stuff writes itself, but you certainly do deliver it on time every day." 
  
 Trump, the GOP front runner, has done many late night appearances, but this was his first with Colbert.

 Tuesday's appearance was a gamble for Trump since Colbert isn't known to pull punches with his guests, especially those in the political realm. 
  
 However, Colbert was cordial and Trump seemed comfortable playing to the audience. Some gave him a standing ovation when he came out. 
  
 Trump wasn't Colbert's only political guest on Tuesday. Secretary of Energy Dr. Ernest Moniz, the architect of the Iran nuclear deal, was Colbert's second guest. 
  
 Colbert asked Trump, a vocal critic of the Iran deal, to sign a copy of his book "The Art of the Deal" for Moniz. Trump jokingly went along. "Better luck next time," he wrote. 
  
 Trump bashing has been common on Colbert's "Late Show." One of the highlights of the show's debut earlier this month was a bit in which Colbert gorged on Oreos while also gorging on Trump news coverage. 
  
 The "Late Show" appearance came a little more than a week after Trump visited Colbert's late night rival Jimmy Fallon on "The Tonight Show." 
  
 Trump's "Tonight Show" guest spot was considered to be a "love fest" by some, but gave Fallon a big ratings win over Colbert that night. 
  
 Colbert spent years grilling politicians as a fake pundit on Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report." 
  
 In fact, Colbert played a game with Trump on Tuesday to see if he could figure out which quote was said by Trump or by Colbert's "Report" character.

Output:
"Finally, a place on TV to hear about Donald Trump," Stephen Colbert quipped before Trump joined him on the Late Show last night. "I want to thank you not only for being here but for running for president," Colbert told him. "I'm not going to say this stuff writes itself, but you certainly do deliver it on time every day." Colbert didn't try too hard to make Trump squirm, though he did ask what he called a "big fat meatball" of a question, CNN reports. "Barack Obama, born in the United States?" asked Colbert. "I don't talk about it anymore," Trump replied. "I talk about jobs. I talk about our veterans being horribly treated." Colbert told Trump that he also used to play an "over-the-top conservative character" and, in what Mediaite decides was the best part of the interview, challenged him to a game of "Trump or Colbert," in which Trump had to guess whether remarks had been made by him or by Colbert's cartoonishly conservative Colbert Report character. Trump didn't have much trouble with the quotes, though he had to hesitate over "It's freezing and snowing in New York. We need global warming." "I think it's you," Trump said, "but it's close to being me." It was Trump, but the last quote, "The real strong have no need to prove it to the phonies," turned out to be Charles Manson, the AP reports. (Saturday Night Live has chosen its Donald Trump.)
