Stephen Colbert (1964) American political satirist, writer, comedian, television host, and actor

Context: If you don't give power to the words that people throw at you to hurt you, they don't hurt you anymore — and you actually have power over those people. … So, if you can, realize that the things that people say about you — they don't really matter — it's who you are. And the older you get, the more you'll understand that — because it gets better. And people get nicer too.

“I am supportive of people. I am supportive of the American Dream Trump is trying to destroy. I want them to understand.
