Stephen Colbert slammed President Donald Trump for his comments about Nordstrom after the department store dropped Ivanka Trump's clothing line last month due to declining sales.

"Evidently, not a lot of women wanted to buy clothes that made them attractive to their fathers," CBS's "Late Show" host said on Wednesday's episode.
