David Letterman breaks his silence on Trump. David Letterman Roasts Trump. David Letterman may no longer have a late-night talk show, but that isn’t stopping him from sharing his views on President Donald Trump. In an interview with Vulture, Letterman called out Trump for being a “stupid son of a b*tch” for going off on unhinged rants on Twitter in which he makes sweeping accusations with no evidence to back them up. In particular, Letterman was furious when Trump called out Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) for being an “all talk, no action” congressman, despite the fact that Lewis was a major icon of the American civil rights movement. “The all-talk John Lewis goes down there and gets a goddamned skull fracture,” Letterman pointed out about Lewis’s actions to fight for civil rights in the 1960s. “I mean, Trumpy will never have to worry about a skull fracture because of the hair.” Letterman also said that Trump’s erratic behavior has been tarnishing the office of the presidency, as well as the image of the United States as a whole. “But in addition to every other thing that’s wrong with the Trump, he’s ignorant in a way that’s insulting to the office, insulting to America, insulting to human rights, insulting to civil rights, insulting to John Lewis,” said Letterman. “Trump saying that broke my heart. I thought, ‘You stupid son of a bitch. You ought to have known better than that.'” David Letterman has called President Donald Trump a "stupid son of a b***h" and said he "would have gone to work on Trump" if he had interviewed him. The retired late night TV icon discussed the playful moment when Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon tousled Mr Trump's hair during an appearance on his show during the presidential campaign. In an interview with Vulture, Letterman said Fallon got a "fantastic viral clip" out of the moment, but said he "would have gone to work on Trump." He said: "I think I would be in the position to give him a bit of a scolding and he would have to sit there and take it." "Trumpy," his pet name for the president, "broke" his heart during his feud with Representative John Lewis, he said. "In addition to every other thing that’s wrong with the Trump, he’s ignorant in a way that’s insulting to the office, insulting to America, insulting to human rights, insulting to civil rights, insulting to John Lewis. Trump saying that broke my heart. "I thought, You stupid son of a b***h. You ought to have known better than that." Mr Lewis received a skull fracture after marching across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in 1965. Letterman added: "John Lewis goes down there and gets a goddamned skull fracture. I mean, Trumpy will never have to worry about a skull fracture because of the hair. "How do you know if Donald Trump is lying? His lips are moving." During the interview, he said senior Trumpe aide Kellyanne Conway was his "favourite for a long time" and described White House press secretary Sean Spicer as "a boob who just got out of a cab and now here he is." When asked about Stephen Miller, he said: "Wow, that guy is creepy. He fell out of a truck." He also mocked Steve Bannon, Mr Trump's chief strategist. “And he [Mr Trump] hires the Hunchback of Notre Dame, Steve Bannon, to be his little buddy. "Bannon looks like a guy who goes to lunch, gets drunk, and comes back to the office: ‘Steve, could you have just one drink?’ ‘F**k you.’ How is a white supremacist the chief adviser to our president?” Letterman retired in 2015 after 33 years as a late night host. David Letterman in a new Vulture interview weighs in on President Trump and the jokes he could’ve made about "Trumpy" if he still hosted "The Late Show." “But the idea of Twitter: Trumpy — my son, Harry, and I call him 'Trumpy' — has really got something with it. Rather than laughable.
