As you’ve possible heard by now, Stephen Colbert hosted the ultimate episode of The Late Present on Thursday night time.

Many consider that CBS’ resolution to cancel the present was politically motivated, as Colbert typically cracked jokes on the expense of the White Home, and the community’s father or mother firm, Paramount, had lately been acquired by the Trump-supporting Ellison household.

Paramount has maintained that the choice was a purely monetary one, however President Trump made it clear that he couldn’t be happier to see Colbert bid adieu.

“Colbert is lastly completed at CBS. Wonderful that he lasted so lengthy! No expertise, no rankings, no life,” Trump wrote on his Reality Social platform right now, including:

“He was like a lifeless individual. You might take any individual off of the road and they’d be higher than this whole jerk. Thank goodness he’s lastly gone!”

“I’ll have a message at a later date,” Trump instructed reporters earlier this week.

This, in fact, isn’t the primary time that Trump has lashed out at a late night time host.

He and members of his household and administration have repeatedly known as for Jimmy Kimmel’s ABC present to be canceled within the wake of jokes Kimmel has mde about Trump.

In a press release to Individuals, Colbert advised that it was beneath the president’s dignity to fixate on jokes made by late night time hosts.

Kimmel was one in every of many TV personalities to talk out in Colbert’s protection after CBS introduced plans to cancel The Late Present.

“We’re clowns,” Colbert mentioned of late-night hosts usually. “How a lot does it diminish the workplace of the Presidency to even discover what we are saying?”

Colbert’s present is about to get replaced by Comics Unleashed, a standup showcase created by media mogul Byron Allen.

Trump has but to comment on Allen of the community’s scheduling resolution.

However we all know that the president enjoys staying up late to look at TV and use social media — his anti-Colbert rant was posted at 1:52 am this morning.
