Remember back when presidents had class at all?
President Donald Trump dropped a violent Artificial Intelligence (AI)-generated video depicting an assault on ousted Late Show host Stephen Colbert — which was also distributed by the official White House X/Twitter account.
The Late Show ended its run next week, a cancellation that was announced last year just days after Colbert made a particularly harsh criticism of CBS and Trump. On Thursday night, the show ended with an emotional finale that concluded with Colbert and rock legend Paul McCartney turning out the lights in the Ed Sullivan Theater.
Trump himself has taken credit for Colbert’s cancellation, along with a raft of other media moves, and was quick to celebrate the end with a late-night attack following the show. He wrote “Colbert is finally finished at CBS. Amazing that he lasted so long! No talent, no ratings, no life. He was like a dead person. You could take any person off of the street and they would be better than this total jerk. Thank goodness he’s finally gone!”
What an absolute buffoon. Imagine being the most powerful person in the world, and getting bent out of shape about a late night talk show host.
