2:01Now PlayingPresident Trump declared that “total jerk” Stephen Colbert is “finally finished” at CBS as the “Late Show” host took his final bow on Thursday.
“Colbert is finally finished at CBS. Amazing that he lasted so long! No talent, no ratings, no life. He was like a dead person,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Friday morning. “You could take any person off of the street and they would be better than this total jerk. Thank goodness he’s finally gone!”
