Stephen Colbert

Trump branded the talk show host as a "jerk" and compared the presenter to a "dead person" as he issued a scathing verdict on the last episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last month.

He penned on Truth Social: "Colbert is finally finished at CBS. Amazing that he lasted so long! No talent, no ratings, no life. He was like a dead person. You could take any person off of the street and they would be better than this total jerk.

"Thank goodness he's finally gone!"
