While in Russia, Stephen Colbert sent a tweet to President Donald Trump and announced he was considering a White House run. <\/p>\n
\"I am here to announce that I am considering a run for President in 2020, and I thought it would be better to cut out the middle man and just tell the Russians myself,\" Colbert said on the Russian late-night show Evening Urgant on Friday. <\/p>\n
As the American TV host continued poking fun at allegations that President Trump's campaign may have colluded with Russia , Colbert added, \"If anyone would like to work on my campaign, in an unofficial capacity, please just let me know.\" <\/p>\n
Russian host Ivan Urgant joined in on the fun saying, \"Its a pleasure to drink with the future U.S. President. To you, Stephen. I wish you luck. We will do everything we can so you become President.\" <\/p>\n
Colbert tweeted a picture of himself in Russia to the President Thursday with the caption, \"Don't worry, Mr. President. I'm in Russia. If the 'tapes' exist , I'll bring you back a copy!\" <\/p>\n
