It can be seen whenever he is asked a question he can&#8217;t answer and resorts to insulting the reporter as a means of dodging the question. And it&#8217;s particularly true with regard to comedians who wound his smug pride with ample servings of satire and well-deserved mockery.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=69058\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Brags About Getting Fascist Control of the Media in Bonkers Truth Social Post<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Sunday night Trump unloaded yet another lambasting of his perceived enemies, both political and humorous. In a comment posted to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=69682\" target=\"_blank\">his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>, Trump lauded himself for allegedly ending the careers of several of his archfoes, including Stephen Colbert. Trump bragged that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;In the last two weeks I&#8217;ve taken out many bad Political &#8216;Leaders&#8217; and Pundits including Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Lightweight &#8216;Congressman&#8217; Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Brad Raffensperger of Georgia, REALLY DUMB Stephen Colbert of CBS, and others.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:fviqe3xscfdntuwbuzppqetg\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3mnc3qmulo22r\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreifvebovm4kqi43i6hvwi5iu5o3a6kckqtdhesic7s6p3kp7jwcvke\">\n<p lang=\"en\">Whad&#39;ya know? Trump is admitting he had a role in Stephen Colbert being canceled, something he previously denied, and CBS said was just a financial decision.Plus he says he&#39;s also going after the other late night hosts. And finally, he says this is how he is &#34;working so hard for our country&#34; ???<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:fviqe3xscfdntuwbuzppqetg?ref_src=embed\">News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social)<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:fviqe3xscfdntuwbuzppqetg\/post\/3mnc3qmulo22r?ref_src=embed\">2026-06-02T07:40:34.959Z<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.bsky.app\/static\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s right. Trump is taking credit for the cancellation of <em>&#8220;DUMB&#8221;<\/em> (with a <em>&#8220;B&#8221;<\/em>) Stephen Colbert. Which is peculiar because he has previously denied having much, if anything, to do with it. In a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/32241\" target=\"_blank\">post on Truth Social<\/a><\/strong> in July of last year Trump claimed that Colbert was fired due to <em>&#8220;lack of talent&#8221;<\/em> and CBS&#8217;s unverified assertion that the number one rated show lost $50 million dollars a year&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Everybody is saying that I was solely responsible for the firing of Stephen Colbert from CBS, Late Night. That is not true! 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.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s tirade also included a tribute to himself saying that <em>&#8220;It is my Honor to be working so hard for our Country!&#8221;<\/em> Exactly! Because, as everyone knows, canceling Colbert is the best way to lower costs for gas, and groceries, and housing, and healthcare.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s on top of the many economic benefits that come from building vanity ballrooms, staging UFC fights at the White House, paying $1.8 billion to reward violent seditionists, minting $250.00 bills with Trump&#8217;s face on them, and, of course. starting wars against Middle East countries without any reason or exit strategy.<\/p>\n<p>The worst part of this assumption of credit by Trump is that he is affirming his intention to do away with the free speech rights and press freedoms embedded in the First Amendment to the Constitution. He actually believes that he has the power to dictate what can or cannot be aired on television. And sadly, too many of the billionaires who own the media are all too willing to capitulate to him for fear and\/or greed.<\/p>\n<p>However, that weakness will only work for so long. And the time is coming when they will learn the hard way that capitulation not only feeds Trump&#8217;s hunger for power, it alienates audiences who will revolt against the traitorous complicity in the corporate media&#8217;s embrace of MAGA-style fascism.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70002\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Bids Farewell to Stephen Colbert With His Trademark Nastiness, Lies, and Bitter Jealousy<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=69033\" target=\"_blank\">Stephen Colbert Delivers a Hilarious Acceptance\/Farewell Speech at Writers Guild Award Ceremony<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=66768\" target=\"_blank\">Big Baby Trump Celebrates CBS Firing Stephen Colbert and Hopes that Jimmy Kimmel Will Be Next<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/newscorpse.bsky.social\" target=\"_blank\">Bluesky<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The tender sensitivities of Donald Trump, and his massive yet fragile ego, continue to shine through the facade of bombast and bullying that he likes to put forward.
