President Trump trashed nemesis Stephen Colbert in an AI-generated video — literally.
The 22-second clip shows Trump walking onto the set of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” as the host introduces his final episode.
An AI-generated version of the president then man-handles his biggest basher, grabbing Colbert by the suit jacket and giving him three shakes.
The president is then seen tossing Colbert into a green trash bin while the audience roars and Trump seals the lid and starts his signature dance to “Y.M.C.A.”

Hysterical!

LOL!
That was horrible at the time and it has not aged well in the least given the recent vax and Fauci exposures’
That was good, but you know the left will rant about this violent video for weeks.
Needlessly provocative. Earns no votes. Changes no minds.
This being the NY Post, I’m surprised the headline didn’t say, “POTUS (Or Trump) Grabs a “Pu$$y”...which would have been an appropriate description of Colbert...
Yeah, it’s way worse than a has been female comedian holding up President Trump’s bloody severed head and the rest of that lot saying right out loud he should be assassinated.
They can stick their moral equivalency right up their ass.
Awesome. Major League Winning!
Skip the ad heavy story,, go straight to DJT post itself

ROTF! Perfect. Lefties will get their panties in quite a wad when they see it.
Partially true but ridicule is the most powerful tool in the political arsenal
And Colbert is a total douchebag who is so deranged and disconnected from reality that he would proudly post his Vax-Scene dancing Vax syringes Covid mRNA shot propaganda which has not aged well to say the least
And you know this how? Are you the great decider of good and bad?
If Trump didn’t post memes etc., he’d probably lose his base. And nowadays with Iran and $4.50/gal gas and a likely midterm calamity, he needs to keep this up.
Will this dumpster video change anyone’s mind? No. Does it reel in inflation? Nope. Is it bread and circuses? Uh huh.
But that's where we are today. For Trump to adopt a Reaganesque approach of statesmanship and wit, he’d gain a few people. However, the lot he’s hooked with brass knuckles social media outreach would wander away.
As I said last year, Trump is to politics what David Lee Roth was to rock. Sammy Hagar may have a better voice, but nobody can top Diamond Dave circa 1982 as a frontman.
Juvenile.
Reagan wouldn’t last an hour in the social media world. If you think statemanship is even possible you are a fool. He is the greatest marketing man on the planet and his memes are hysterical. Grow a spine.
Exactly right. This is Rules for Radicals turned on the radicals.
“the great decider of good and bad”
Lol!
IKR?
There’s a few of those around Free Republic! 😂
I think you make excellent points, all the way down to the DLR analogy as the final culmination of your thoughts. What I don’t necessarily agree with, though, is where you started out, saying it is/was “necessary.” A DLR for president is not necessary. It may be entertaining, it may mostly be effective, but it is not superior to more mature and stable alternatives like Sammy Hagar. Again. i admit there are some, if not many that prefer Trump’s rambunctious style to a statesman like Reagan, but that does not make it necessary. Or probably even as affective, especially long term. Typically that type of behavior is ultimately destructive. Thanks.
Love it!!
Never mind that Colbert was losing $40m each year for the network - they kept him on to bash Trump, until they couldn’t afford the loss any longer.
Good. Riddance. Colbert believes, of course, he is a victim of Trump...
I'd rather see Trump throw thoon into a dumpster though... then followed by Barasso, Cotton, Capito, and... whatshisname... some dork who's really from Texas...
