Donald Trump posted an AI-generated video in which he casts a chat show host Stephen Colbert into a dumpster after the late-night host finished his last show.
The video was released a day later Colbert’s last show after it was controversially canceled by CBS in the US.

The video uploaded to Truth Social shows the president grabbing the host on set The Late Showbefore packing it into an open dumpster and slamming it shut.

Trump then dances in his trademark style to the introduction to The Village People’s YMCA.

It was part of one of the president’s latest meme sprees on Truth Social.

He also posted a picture of his giant head looming over a city in Greenland, one of a “golden dome” force field around the White House and a series of photos of himself.

“Stephen Colbert’s firing from CBS was the ‘beginning of the end’ for untalented, nasty, grossly overpaid, unfunny and very poorly rated late-night TV hosts,” Trump said.
