Trump takes victory lap as Stephen Colbert wraps up final ‘Late Show’ episode: ‘Finally finished’

President Trump celebrated that “total jerk” Stephen Colbert is “finally finished at CBS” after the “Late Show” host went off the air for the last time on Thursday night.

“Colbert is finally finished at CBS. Amazing that he lasted so long! No talent, no ratings, no life. He was like a dead person,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Friday morning. “You could take any person off of the street and they would be better than this total jerk. Thank goodness he’s finally gone!”

Colbert had hosted the late-night program for 11 seasons before the network announced it was canceling the failing series last year due to a “financial decision.”

The 62-year-old comedian blamed the president for his show being axed following CBS owner Paramount’s legal settlement with Trump.

Colbert steered away from political blame in his farewell episode, but allowed lead Trump basher Bruce Springsteen to take jabs at the White House in Wednesday’s penultimate show.

“I’m here in support tonight for Stephen, because you’re the first guy in America who’s lost his show because we’ve got a president who can’t take a joke,” Springsteen told the crowd.
