Donald Trump reacted furiously after Stephen Colbert aired his final episode of 'The Late Show' on CBS. The U.S. President took to Truth Social to blast Colbert, calling him untalented and celebrating the show's cancellation. Trump's attack came as Colbert signed off for the last time, ending a long-running late-night talk show that often featured political satire and criticism of the Trump administration.
The Final Episode
Colbert's farewell episode included a mix of emotional moments and sharp commentary. The show featured a segment with Robert De Niro, who took a swipe at Trump over the Epstein scandal. De Niro's remarks were seen as a parting shot at the president, which may have triggered Trump's angry response.
Trump's Reaction
In a series of posts on Truth Social, Trump wrote: 'Stephen Colbert is an untalented loser. Good riddance to his failing show. The ratings were terrible, and nobody watched. I'm happy to see it gone.' The president also suggested that Colbert's show was canceled due to low ratings and political bias.
Debate Over Politics Behind the Scenes
The exchange has sparked a debate among fans, critics, and fellow comedians about whether politics played a role in the show's cancellation. Some speculate that CBS may have been pressured by the Trump administration, while others believe it was purely a business decision. Colbert's show had seen declining ratings in recent years, but it remained a platform for liberal commentary.
