“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert slammed Donald Trump’s latest video as an “abomination” for claiming the former president is part of a divine plan.

The video, in the style of Paul Harvey’s 1978 “So God Made a Farmer” speech, claims God made Trump as a tireless “caretaker” for the nation.

“OK, fine, God made Trump,” Colbert allowed. “But God also made that fish in the Amazon that swims up your pee-hole and shoots out spikes so you can’t get it out. So, I’m just saying God’s got a mixed record on making things.”

Colbert then helpfully suggested a vacation destination for Trump.

“By the way, Donald, have you thought about going swimming in the Amazon?”
