Trump not a Colbert fan…
President Donald Trump hit TRUTH Social on Friday to share his thoughts on CBS canceling The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
“I absolutely love that Colbert got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings,” Trump wrote on TRUTH. “I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert! Greg Gutfeld is better than all of them combined, including the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show.”
Trump has ripped Colbert in the past, calling him “very boring” and “a total loser.”
“He is not funny, which he gets paid far too much to be, he is not wise, he is VERY BORING, and his show is dying from a complete lack of viewers,” Trump said last September.
From The Daily Wire:
Colbert, whom CBS said “will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late night television,” often used his monologues to take shots at Trump and his supporters. In March, Colbert ripped President Trump’s address to Congress, saying, “Trump’s first address to Congress was much like his first six weeks: filled with useful lies and applauded by useless idiots.”
Earlier this week, Colbert criticized CBS’s parent company, Paramount, for agreeing to pay a $16 million settlement to Trump over a “60 Minutes” interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris, which Trump said was deceptively edited to help the Democratic presidential nominee. Colbert called the settlement a “big fat bribe,” adding, “I don’t know if anything will repair my trust in this company. But, just taking a stab at it, I’d say $16 million would help.”
Colbert addressed CBS’s decision to cancel his show on Thursday night, telling his audience, “Before we start the show, I want to let you know something that I found out just last night. Next year will be our last season. The network will be ending ‘The Late Show’ in May.”
“I’m not being replaced. This is all just going away,” he added.
