U.S. President Donald Trump revived his feud with late-night host Stephen Colbert after posting an AI-generated video showing Colbert being thrown into a dumpster. This followed the final episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
The 22-second clip was first posted on Trump’s Truth Social account and later shared by the White House with the caption “Bye-bye”. The edited video shows Trump grabbing Colbert during a monologue, tossing him into a green dumpster, and then dancing to the Village People song “YMCA.”
The video quickly spread online, gaining hundreds of thousands of likes and reigniting debate over Trump’s long-running public clashes with the comedian.
Trump and Colbert’s Long Feud Continues
The video appeared just hours after Colbert ended his nearly 11-year run as host of The Late Show at New York City’s Ed Sullivan Theater.
Trump later celebrated the show’s ending in additional social media posts, calling Colbert a “total jerk” with “no talent, no ratings, no life.”
Colbert frequently criticized Trump, his administration, and the MAGA movement during his nightly monologues. Trump often responded online by attacking Colbert’s ratings and comedy style.
One of their most famous exchanges came after Colbert told Trump to “go f— yourself” during an on-air monologue, a moment that later went viral.
Colbert Ends Show With Emotional Farewell
Colbert’s final episode focused more on celebration than politics. The finale included appearances from fellow late-night hosts Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, Jimmy Fallon, and John Oliver.
Music legends Paul McCartney and Elvis Costello also appeared. McCartney performed “Hello, Goodbye” with Colbert before the pair symbolically turned off the lights inside the historic theater. The venue is famous for hosting The Beatles during their first American TV appearance in 1964.
Late-Night TV Under Pressure
Colbert’s departure marks the end of a late-night franchise that began with David Letterman in 1993. Although late-night shows still attract millions of viewers, many viewers now prefer watching short clips online rather than full TV episodes.
Trump also used Colbert’s exit to criticize other late-night hosts, calling them “untalented, nasty, highly overpaid, not funny, and very poorly rated.”
The president has also publicly feuded with Kimmel and other TV personalities, making late-night comedy another flashpoint in America’s divided political and media culture.
