Stephen Colbert is no fan of Donald Trump, so whenever there’s a chance to do something that will annoy Trump or his base, Colbert will jump on it.

This week, he took a-ha’s “Take on Me” video from 1985 and turned it into “Take on Manafort.”

Here’s the original.

Now here’s what The Late Show people did with some courtroom sketches from the Manafort trial.
