“The only thing more disappointing than a nine-month wait is Eric Trump!” Stephen Colbert fired off during his latest monologue, and the crowd went wild. The late-night kingpin isn’t holding back, even as his show faces cancellation.
On May 20, Colbert’s show Instagram account dropped a clip where he celebrated “wonderful news” for his “MAGA viewers.” He referenced a report claiming the Trump golden cellphone had finally arrived after a torturous delay. But instead of praising the product, he took a sharp turn, mocking the entire Trump family.
“You know I’ve said a lot of mean things about Eric over the years,” he quipped, clearly relishing the moment. No apologies here; just pure comedic gold. He then pivoted back to the phone, declaring, “Let’s be clear: This thing sucks!”
Colbert didn’t stop there. He pointed out a major flaw in the phone’s marketing: “When they announced it last year, they promised it would be made in the U.S.A. But now? It’s just ‘designed with American values in mind.’” The audience erupted in laughter, and Colbert continued to hammer home the absurdity.
He likened the Trump phone’s marketing to an Arby’s slogan that would read, “We have the meats… in mind.” The crowd roared again, proving that Colbert’s biting humor resonates even amidst controversy.
His relentless jabs at the Trump family have polarized fans. While some adore his fearless critiques, others from the MAGA camp are less than thrilled. One Instagram user shot back, “He can take that phone and put it where the sun doesn’t shine.”
In a twist of fate, CBS recently canceled “The Late Show” after settling a $16 billion lawsuit with Trump. They claim it had nothing to do with Colbert’s barbs, but many are skeptical. The lawsuit stemmed from a “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris, which Trump alleged was edited to protect her from ridicule—a claim CBS firmly denied.
Colbert’s departure comes amid significant shake-ups at CBS, including the controversial appointment of Bari Weiss as Editor in Chief. Following this shift, Colbert was let go, with CBS stating it was part of a broader strategy change. Fans have noticed a shift in coverage that seems more favorable to Trump, especially after a critical “60 Minutes” segment was pulled at the last minute.
“Stephen, you will be sorely missed because #47 toddler in chief can spew obscenities at people but can’t take any criticism,” lamented one fan on Instagram. Another chimed in with support: “You are absolutely awesome! I can’t imagine you not doing this but also looking forward to what’s next.”
As Colbert continues to deliver his unfiltered takes on the Trump saga, one thing is clear: he’s not going quietly into that good night. The laughter may fade from late-night TV, but his sharp wit will linger long after the credits roll.
