“ Late Show ” host Stephen Colbert said he thinks he knows President Donald Trump ’s real motivation for sending troops to Los Angeles.

And it’s not to deal with the protests there.

“Trump’s just getting revenge on Tinseltown,” Colbert pointed out. “He never won an Emmy for ‘The Apprentice,’ and he was snubbed in the 1993 Oscars for his performance in ‘Home Alone 2.’”

Colbert noted that Al Pacino won that year for his role in “Scent of a Woman” as a blind and ill-tempered retired military officer.

He broke out his Trump impression to protest the snub, noting the title of the film refers to just one woman.

“I’ve smelled thousands of women, and I’m not even blind, OK?” he said in his Trump voice.
