President Trump denies being the reason for CBS and Paramount firing Stephen Colbert from his late-night talk show.
Trump took to Truth Social to clarify that he was not solely responsible for Colbert’s firing, which has sparked controversy.
According to POTUS, Colbert’s dismissal was due to a lack of talent and substantial financial losses incurred by CBS, which were projected to increase.

Trump also hinted at the potential firing of other late-night hosts like Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon, criticizing their talents and personalities.
Speculations suggest that Trump may have influenced Colbert’s firing to facilitate a pending merger between Skydance and Paramount, as FCC approval was necessary.
Following Colbert’s dismissal, the FCC granted approval for the major merger to proceed.

Despite the speculations, Trump refutes claims of being a scapegoat in the situation and takes aim at other talk show hosts who mock him on their shows.
Concluding his statement, Trump emphasizes the simplicity of show business and television, attributing success to ratings and implying that Colbert’s downfall was self-inflicted.
