President Donald Trump took out the trash his own way – by sharing an AI video of himself tossing Stephen Colbert into a dumpster.
Trump posted the video Friday evening on X, following Thursday’s final broadcast of “The Late Show.” The video celebrated the end of the long-running late-night talk show with a clip depicting Trump walking onto Colbert’s set, grabbing him by his suit jacket, and lifting him off the ground before dramatically tossing him into a green dumpster. Trump then slammed the lid shut, trapping Colbert inside.

Trump smiled triumphantly after ditching Colbert.
Moments later, the song “YMCA” by the Village People began to play.
Trump celebrated his accomplishment by showing off his signature dance moves while the late show audience cheered him on.
The video was the latest in an escalating feud between Trump and the former television host.
Trump posted a scathing message on Truth Social hours before the dumpster video.
“Stephen Colbert’s firing from CBS was the ‘Beginning of the End’ for untalented, nasty, highly overpaid, not funny, and very poorly rated Late Night Television Hosts,” he wrote.(RELATED: Pedro Pascal Locks Lips With Stephen Colbert On ‘The Late Show’)
Trump continued, “Others, of even less talent, to soon follow. May they all Rest in Peace! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
CBS canceled “The Late Show” after 33 years on air following Colbert publicly criticized CBS’ parent company, Paramount, for agreeing to a $16 million settlement with Trump.
