Trump Just Lost It on Twitter and Said that Late Night Comedians Are Just TOO MEAN to Him
Donald Trump has once again decided to lash out against late-night talk show hosts, sharing a quote lauding the late NBC “Tonight Show” host Johnny Carson and declaring Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon will be unemployed after he finishes a second term.
Because once again, everything is all about Trump.
“The three very weak and untalented late night ‘hosts’ are ‘fighting over table scraps. Carson did a great job, it wasn’t political. I don’t know what they’re going to do in 2024 when he’s no longer President? Will be wacky in the unemployment line,’ ” Trump tweeted to his more than 59 million followers after comic Michael Loftus appeared on Fox News’s morning program “Fox & Friends.”

The tweet comes one day after the president weighed in on a “Fox & Friends” discussion of former “Tonight Show” host Jay Leno, who said late-night shows are now too political and lack “civility.”

“The one-sided hatred on these shows is incredible and for me, unwatchable,” Trump tweeted on Wednesday. “But remember, WE are number one — President!”
“Jay Leno points out that comedy (on the very boring late night shows) is totally one-sided. It’s tough when there’s only one topic.” @foxandfriends Actually, the one-sided hatred on these shows is incredible and for me, unwatchable. But remember, WE are number one – President!

Trump often lashes out at the late-night programs.
At a campaign rally last June, he mocked each late-night host and questioned their humor before insisting that he “can laugh at myself.”
Trump also has a long-running feud with “Saturday Night Live,” which frequently targets the president in its sketches and has brought on Alec Baldwin to do regular impersonations.
Twitter wasn’t having it:

You poor, fragile old man. You're "President" of the United States but you're obsessed with late night TV shows. You're weak and pathetic. https://t.co/XrVOYOzwoe
