Donald Trump says he was not the reason Stephen Colbert got fired, but he warns that more late-night talk show hosts could be next. In a recent social media post, former President Donald Trump made it clear that he was not the only cause of Stephen Colbert’s late-night talk show being canceled, denying claims that he alone was behind the decision.
Trump said on Truth Social, “The reason he was fired was a pure lack of TALENT, and the fact that this deficiency was costing CBS $50 Million Dollars a year in losses — And it was only going to get WORSE!” which isn’t backed by any credible sources. Colbert has been an outspoken opponent of Trump, and some believe his removal could have been meant to make it easier for big business deals like this one to go through, since they often need government approval.
