President Donald Trump claims he’s been “far tougher on Russia” than any of his predecessors, but Stephen Colbert isn’t buying it.  The “Late Show” host joked Tuesday that he found Trump’s notes from his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.  And those notes, he cracked, tell a different story:
