President Donald Trump acquired into the Christmas spirit early Wednesday morning by attacking Stephen Colbert and boiling over late-night TV applications.
“Stephen Colbert is a pathetic trainwreck, with no talent or anything else necessary for show business success,” wrote Trump in what marked his second-straight, wee-hours meltdown on his Truth Social platform this week. “Now, after being terminated by CBS, but left out to dry, he has actually gotten worse, along with his nonexistent ratings. Stephen 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’s put up appeared as CBS aired a rerun of the Dec. 8 episode of “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” on the East Coast, simply hours after the community broadcast “The Kennedy Center Honors,” which was hosted by the president. In his monologue that evening, Colbert reacted to a clip of Trump insisting that Jimmy Kimmel, who by no means hosted the Kennedy Center Honors however did seem on stage on the ceremony in 2014, was “horrible” on the gig.
“If I can’t beat out Jimmy Kimmel in terms of talent, then I don’t think I should be president,” stated Trump in remarks from the Oval Office earlier this month.
“You can’t, and you shouldn’t!” Colbert quipped.
In the rerun, Colbert additionally hit Trump with a “quick brain check” by revealing that he, in contrast to Kimmel, hosted the ceremony three straight occasions.

In extra posts early Wednesday morning, Trump hurled extra threats into the social media stratosphere and added gas to the flames of his struggle in opposition to late-night TV.
“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!” he wrote.
Trump continued complaining in one other put up: “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 concluded his vacation posting spree of grievances with: “MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!”
