It has been a year and a half since the second female Democratic nominee for president lost to what her party views as an existential threat. Since then, President Donald Trump’s defeat of former Vice President Kamala Harris has been dissected at length. After much criticism and mounting public pressure, the Democratic National Committee finally […]

Retiring Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) issued President Donald Trump a blunt reality check on Friday that he may face “the most miserable two years” of his life should Republicans perform poorly in the upcoming midterm elections — a warning that apparently didn’t sit well with Trump.The president quickly took to social media to lash out at the North Carolina Republican.“People don’t remember that Thom Tillis, the weak and ineffective Senator from the Great State of North Carolina, a State I won, including primaries, 6 consecutive times, didn’t have the courage to fight it out in the Senate, remain in place, and run again for office, a thing he desperately wanted to do,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.“I called him a ‘Nitpicker,’ always fighting against the Republican Party, and ME, mostly on things that didn’t matter. When I told him that I would not, under any circumstances, endorse him for another run, too much work and drama (he couldn’t have won, anyway!), he immediately quit the race and publicly announced that he was going to ‘retire.’”Since Tillis announced his plans to retire, he’s remained a thorn in the side for the president, often breaking with his colleagues in openly criticizing Trump, most recently over his nearly $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund, which could see violent Jan. 6 Capitol rioters receive large payouts using taxpayer dollars.“Stupid on stilts,” Tillis recently said, describing the Justice Department’s Trump-backed “anti-weaponization” fund.“The media said how brave he was to take me on, but he wasn’t brave, he was just the opposite – HE WAS A QUITTER!” Trump continued. “Now he can have all the fun he wants for a few months, with some of his RINO friends, screwing the Republican Party. In the end it will only get bigger, and better, and stronger, than ever before!!!”

President Donald Trump delivered a bitter 2 a.m. screed against Stephen Colbert Friday, just hours after the late-night comedian delivered a star-studded final performance to a massive audience."Colbert is finally finished at CBS," Trump wrote. "Amazing that he lasted so long! No talent, no ratings, no life. He was like a dead person. You could take any person off of the street and they would be better than this total jerk. Thank goodness he's finally gone!"The late-night tirade came after Trump had teased on Wednesday that he would make a comment on Colbert's final episode "at a later date."Colbert, 62, closed out his 11-year run on The Late Show in front of a crowd that included Paul McCartney, Paul Rudd, Bryan Cranston, and Ryan Reynolds. Fans who couldn't get into the live audience crowded the street outside the New York City Ed Sullivan Theater, while viewership of the broadcast was expected to be massive.McCartney capped the evening by playing "Hello Goodbye" before he and Colbert together pulled the plug — literally — on the show.CBS announced the cancellation last July, just three days after Colbert blasted the network's MAGA-friendly parent company, Paramount, over its $16 million settlement with Trump. Despite repeatedly savaging Colbert on social media, Trump tried to distance himself from the axing at the time."Everybody is saying that I was solely responsible for the firing of Stephen Colbert from CBS, Late Night," Trump posted last year. "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 — And it was only going to get WORSE!"Trump's overnight screed recycled language from a 2024 Truth Social attack in which he had written that CBS "should terminate his contract and pick almost anyone, right off the street, who would do better, and for FAR LESS MONEY.""It's heartbreaking to see how one man can silence a whole nation," Joshua McGehee told CNN. "When Colbert can be silenced for being critical, it puts everyone at tension to be themselves and to speak their minds."Alan Tipert said he traveled all the way from Georgia "to witness the death of free speech.""I mean, how silly would it be?" Colbert told People. "The ending of the show aside, which people can speculate about all they want, and I can't argue with their speculations, but we're clowns. How much does it diminish the office of the presidency to even notice what we say?"
After spending nearly 11 years flapping his gums at the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City, Stephen Colbert's time as the host of CBS' "The Late Show" has come to an end — and President Donald Trump couldn't be happier."Colbert is finally finished at CBS," the president wrote after the final show aired. "Amazing that he lasted so long!"Colbert, who took over the show in 2015 from beloved host David Letterman and then shepherded the franchise to its death, quipped on Thursday that he didn't get his wish of having Pope Leo XIV on the show as his last interview. Instead of the Roman pontiff, Colbert chatted with one of the last surviving Beatles, Paul McCartney, and had Paul Rudd, Bryan Cranston, Jimmy Kimmel, and other Hollywood script-readers make brief cameos."The pope, who was definitely my guest tonight, has canceled. We already sent the other stars away," said Colbert, who, while claiming to be a Catholic, has long championed causes diametrically opposed to the church's moral teachings. "This is terrible."'He’s finally gone!'Despite his reflexive propagandizing and monomaniacal fixation on Trump, Colbert — who just months ago praised the Soviet Union for its supposed feminism — largely avoided politics in his finale but made sure to once again criticize vaccine skeptics, calling them "little pricks."RELATED: LIP SERVICE: Pedro Pascal demands goodbye kiss from departing 'Late Night' host Colbert Scott Kowalchyk/CBS/Getty ImagesThis was especially on brand given that Colbert routinely attacked those who in recent years dared to question whether the experimental COVID-19 jabs were as safe or effective as advertised; strenuously pushed COVID-19 vaccination; and blasted the notion that natural immunity was optimal.Later in the finale, Colbert briefly spoke to science podcaster Neil deGrasse Tyson, who explained away the CGI wormhole that would deliver the host to a gabfest with Jon Stewart, John Oliver, Seth Meyers, Jimmy Fallon, and Jimmy Kimmel, then threaten to devour all of late-night.Some fans gathered outside the Ed Sullivan Theater — which survived the wormhole — to bid Colbert adieu with well-wishing signs and at least one stating, "Colbert for President."Following the conclusion of Colbert's finale, Trump wrote, "He was like a dead person. You could take any person off of the street and they would be better than this total jerk. Thank goodness he’s finally gone!"The show was eulogized by various liberals, including twice-failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D), Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey (D), and former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich.CBS announced in July 2025 that it was canceling "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" and ending the franchise, stating that it was "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night."The show's time slot will now be occupied by Byron Allen's "Comics Unleashed."Like Blaze News?
