Trump Says ‘I Absolutely Love’ That Stephen Colbert Got ‘Fired’ and ‘I Hear Jimmy Kimmel Is Next’
Variety ^ | 7/18/25 | Todd Spangler

Posted on 07/18/2025 11:59:29 AM PDT by DallasBiff

President Donald Trump weighed in on CBS’s announcement that it is canceling Stephen Colbert‘s late-night talk show — and the president is hopeful Jimmy Kimmel will be next to get axed.

CBS said Thursday that it plans to end “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” in May 2026, calling it a “purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night.”

“I absolutely love that Colbert’ got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Friday morning. “I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert!”

The insults are a great way to fight back! Trump speaks for many of us. This is one of the reasons I love the guy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Exactly. Some people still haven’t figured out who Trump is.

A long, long time ago, the networks had late evening shows that were funny. Maybe they should try that formula again.

The end of Colbert is not coming soon enough.

DallasBiff Kimmel does blackface and ABC still loves the loser. Sickening.

There's precedent for that. This hasn't hurt that DB Ted Danson one bit. He keeps getting new shows and commercials like Consumer Cellular.

Maybe MAGA has created enough national cohesion to effectively boycott those who advertise on these scum bags shows ?

Agree with President Trump but this is where Reagan was more of a presidential temperament in staying out of these petty public matters. There’s other more meaningful fish to fry regarding what’s more pertinent to being president.

Yeah, at this point a lot of people are ready for him to show some class and some hard focused effort on MAGA, not just put on a show...

Not really. The campaign is over. Time to show a little class and focus. All the insults and foul language does now is cause damage and diminish him in stature.

It was fun back then. Now it’s counterproductive.

No idiot. I am not an anti-Trump zealot. I want him to succeed on what he ran on. But I think he has lost the true path.
He thinks a big show is all people want, and he thinks HE is the leader of MAGA, and not the employee of MAGA.

He has been seduced into wars with Iran and Russia. He has been seduced by big tech and money trusts with his new stablecoin bill he sneaked through. The military parade for his birthday was an embarrassment. He flipped the finger to “no taxes on Social Security” and DOGE. And he’s gaslighting us on Epstein and JFK.

He thinks distractions like nasty tweets and insults keeps the base happy. I want him to focus on what mattered last fall in his speeches.

Exactly. Time to channel some Reagan class and Reagan humor. He needs to grow up. It’s unmanly of him to mock another man when he gets knocked down.

He has no idea how much better he would look to ignore it or simply to wish him well.

When it come to kicking the likes of Colbert and Kimmel to the curb I wouldn't want to see that.

I'd like the see the two of them be chained to the rear wall of a three sided vault and then proceed to get some brick or stone, mix up some mortar and seal those two leftist dirtbags up inside said vault.

A kind of “Cask Of The Amontillado'' if you will.

I really don’t enjoy kicking people when they’re down butt what the hell? LOL.

I don’t either, but I can make the occasional exception. 😁

You are a Russian zealot and you are no true Trump supporter.

I swear the Russia nuts are intolerable.

From Angela Belcamino on X:

I wish current day talk show hosts like Colbert and Kimmel would take the advice of Johnny Carson.

In this clip, he explains why he never talked politics on The Tonight Show. 

Do you agree with him?
