Trump's Cringeworthy Reaction To Colbert's "The Late Show" Finale Is An AI Nightmare

Ready for the worst thing you'll see all day?
Obviously, you know that Stephen Colbert's run at The Late Show came to an end this week. Many have speculated that the reasoning for the show's abrupt exit is because the comedian has been a regular critic of Trump since he first took office. Which, yeah, that could be why!
Whatever the case for Colbert's departure, one thing's for sure — Trump is pretty happy about it. "Colbert is finally finished at CBS," the US president popped off on Truth Social shortly after The Late Show's final episode aired. "Amazing that he lasted so long! No talent, no ratings, no life."
"He was like a dead person," Trump continued. "You could take any person off of the street and they would be better than this total jerk. Thank goodness he's finally gone!"
You think that'd be it, right? Think again — because yesterday evening, Trump shared an AI-generated video on Twitter of him directly interacting with Colbert, and it was far from classy.
