President Donald Trump‘s wrath toward late-night comedian who relentlessly mock him is no secret. So it was no surprise that Trump couldn’t resist the opportunity to blast Stephen Colbert after the host signed off from CBS’s “The Late Show” for the last time Thursday.

In a post at 1:52 a.m. ET, the U.S. president wrote on his Truth Social account, “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!”
