The US President caused a stir when speaking at the National Scout Jamboree in West Virginia, when he said he wouldn't speak about politics but ended up blasting the "fake news media" and Barack Obama. But now that Trump has disrespected the Scouts with his inappropriately weird performance, I urge the Boy Scouts' leadership to state, unequivocally, that the president's words and actions-and the unfortunate outbursts by some in the audience-set a poor example for the children we are trying to mentor into successful adulthood.
Though he has not stated how he intends to do this, some reports argue he has added to the "swamp" as many of his recently appointed cabinet members are billionaires and former Wall Street executives, such as recent appointee Anthony Scaramucci to head of communications.
Earlier he had earlier urged Republicans to make good on their promise to repeal and replace Obama's signature health care bill, tweeting that, "Republicans have a last chance to do the right thing on Repeal & Replace after years of talking & campaigning on it". "Boy Scouts must repudiate such a disgraceful display".
"It's no surprise he went to the Boy Scouts", the comedian said during his opening monologue Tuesday. "If you haven't watched it yet, don't".
The Boy Scouts' official Facebook page was flooded with comments condemning the speech.
Colbert translated: "Kids I come here to inspire you".

I want my children and Cub Scouts in our pack to succeed in life-I want them to win-but not by sacrificing other Scout values such as honesty, trustworthiness, courtesy and kindness.
And prior to the president's appearance, scouts were admonished to steer clear of several chants that are popular among Trump supporters.
Founded in 1910, the Boy Scouts of America "does not promote any one position, product, service, political candidate or philosophy", the organisation said. The statement goes on to say that every president since Franklin D. Roosevelt had been invited to speak at the Jamboree, and such invitations are not an endorsement of any particular party or policies.
"Please help us ensure that all Scouts can enjoy this historical address by making sure that your troop members are respectful not only of the President, but of the wide variety of viewpoints held by Scouts and Scouters in the audience tonight". The Washington Post details, including with a statement from the organization.
