'Now, after being terminated by CBS, but left out to dry, he has actually gotten worse, along with his nonexistent ratings,' Trump wrote on Truth Social.
U.S. President Donald Trump is calling for late-night host Stephen Colbert to be taken off the air immediately, referring to him as a “dead man walking.”
“Stephen Colbert is a pathetic trainwreck, with no talent or anything else necessary for show business success,” Trump wrote. “Now, after being terminated by CBS, but left out to dry, he has actually gotten worse, along with his nonexistent ratings.”
Trump said Colbert is “running on hatred and fumes.”
“A dead man walking! CBS should, ‘put him to sleep,’ NOW, it is the humanitarian thing to do,” Trump added to his midnight diatribe.
In a follow-up post, Trump asked: “Who has the worst Late Night host, CBS, ABC, or NBC??? They all have three things in common: High Salaries, No Talent, REALLY LOW RATINGS!”
“If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Negative to President Donald J. Trump, MAGA, and the Republican Party, shouldn’t their very valuable Broadcast Licenses be terminated? I say, YES,” Trump added.
Trump appeared to take aim at Colbert after CBS aired a rerun of his Dec. 8 episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert hours after broadcasting The Kennedy Center Honors, hosted by Trump.
This isn’t the first time Trump has taken aim at Colbert this year.
