Of all the responses to President Donald Trump's Helsinki summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the best (or at least the funniest) came from late-night comic Jimmy Kimmel: "We haven't seen an American so owned by a Russian since Rocky IV."

Trump's statements during the post-summit news conference left many Americans questioning the president's loyalty (forcing the hashtag #treasonsummit to go viral); many politicians (Democratic and Republican) screaming "treason"; and many late-night comics calculating exactly how treasonous some of the president's statements were. Stephen Colbert literally pulled out a calculator. Find out which politician prompted him to do so in today's Best of Late Night, above.
