Trump Attacks ‘Total Loser’ Stephen Colbert for Saying He Wouldn’t Have ‘Boring’ Former President on Show Again: ‘He Is Not Wise’

Former President Donald Trump attacked Late Show host Stephen Colbert on Tuesday, launching a string of insults at the comedian after Colbert called Trump “boring” and said he wouldn’t have him on his show again.

“I briefly watched an interview of Stephen Colbert on highly government subsidized PBS, and found it fascinating for only one reason — Why would they be wasting time and the public’s money on this complete and total loser?” wrote Trump in a Truth Social rant:

He is not funny, which he gets paid far too much to be, he is not wise, he is VERY BORING, and his show is dying from a complete lack of viewers —Gutfeld, on cable, is killing him! CBS should terminate his contract and pick almost anyone, right off the street, who would do better, and for FAR LESS MONEY — Or I could recommend someone, much more talented, and smarter, who would do it for FREE! The good news for Stephen is that the two DOPES on NBC & ABC are not much better than him!

Trump appeared to take issue with Colbert’s remarks during an interview with PBS NewsHour on Monday.

While Colbert spent the majority of the interview promoting his new cookbook, Does This Taste Funny?, co-authored with his wife Evie McGee Colbert, he briefly weighed in on the former president upon being asked whether he would have Trump on his show.

“I’ve had him before, and he was kind of boring, so no,” Colbert replied. “I don’t like to have people on the show who I don’t think are gonna be honest agents of their own ideas. Politicians always represent an idea, so if I think a politician is disingenuous– and not to point out Mr. Trump specifically because there are many politicians I wouldn’t want to talk to that I think do not honestly represent what they actually believe, but are rather just playing to a crowd. So that’s just no fun.”

Trump appeared on The Late Show in September 2015, just months after he announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination.

During the appearance, Colbert mocked Trump’s proposal for a border wall and roleplayed as the president of Mexico so Trump could demonstrate how he would make Mexico pay for it.
