President Donald Trump jumped on social media to trigger leftists with an AI video of him and Stephen Colbert.
Colbert’s “The Late Show” finally ended its run after its cancellation was announced last year, and the president couldn’t help but needle the host, who took every opportunity to make cracks at his expense. Taking to social media, Trump posted an AI-generated video of him throwing Colbert into a dumpster.
Watch:
Bye-bye

The video depicts Trump trashing the host, closing the lid, and doing his signature dance moves while the audience applauds. It was posted on Truth Social, then to X on the official White House account and even the president’s own account, which is used sparingly as Trump favors his own platform.
The post landed well with conservatives, who found it hilarious:
Lmao, that’s great. Bye colbert.

Others, however, didn’t find the video as amusing:
Why do you bother with your BS and majority of the country hates Trump. And really showing him dancing like a moron. Grow up!

Is this account run by a 5-year-old, or are Americans just becoming more stupid by the day?

This is an official government account in a democracy.
This is what Orbanism looks like. The president bragging, via AI video, that he forced a comedian who mocked him off the air and ‘into the trash’. https://t.co/NHWnO3ooMv
