President Trump
I Didn’t Get Colbert Canceled …
He Should Look in Mirror

President Trump says it’s not true that he was “solely responsible” for CBS and Paramount firing Stephen Colbert from his late-night talk show.
Trump hopped on Truth Social on Tuesday and tried to distance himself from the firing, which has stirred up a big controversy.
POTUS says … “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!”

Trump continues … “Next up will be an even less talented Jimmy Kimmel, and then, a weak, and very insecure, Jimmy Fallon. The only real question is, who will go first?”
Lots of folks think Trump used a pending merger between Skydance and Paramount as a way to get Colbert, a Trump critic, off the air … as the FCC needed to approve the deal.
Colbert got canned and then the FCC gave the green light on the major merger.

But Trump says he’s not the scapegoat here … even though he’s taking some jabs at other talk show hosts who like to make jokes about him on late-night TV.
Trump concludes … “Show Biz and Television is a very simple business. If you get Ratings, you can say or do anything. If you don’t, you always become a victim. Colbert became a victim to himself, the other two will follow.”
