Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current president of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality. Trump was born and raised in the New York City borough of Queens, and received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School. He took charge of his family's real-estate business in 1971, renamed it The Trump Organization, and expanded its operations from Queens and Brooklyn into Manhattan.
The company built or renovated skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump later started various side ventures, mostly by licensing his name. He owned the Miss Universe and Miss USA beauty pageants from 1996 to 2015, and produced and hosted The Apprentice, a reality television show, from 2003 to 2015. Forbes estimates his net worth to be $3.1 billion.
Donald Trump Blasts Stephen Colbert & Calls Him “Very Boring” In Late-Night Rant: “CBS Should Terminate His Contract”
deadline.comDonald Trump loves to rant on social media, and his latest target was late-night show host Stephen Colbert. The former president of the United States went on a tirade against the comedian after watching him in a PBS interview. “I briefly watched an interview of Stephen Colbert on highly government subsidized PBS, and found it fascinating for only one reason — Why would they be wasting time and the public’s money on this complete and total loser?” Trump shared on Truth Social on Tuesday, September 24. “He is not funny, which he gets paid far too much to be, he is not wise, he is VERY BORING, and his show is dying from a complete lack of viewers.” Trump suggested that Fox News host Greg Gutfeld’s late-night show “is killing him” in viewership. “CBS should terminate his contract and pick almost anyone, right off the street, who would do better, and for FAR LESS MONEY,” Trump continued. “Or I could recommend someone, much more talented, and smarter, who would do it for FREE!” Trump ended his late-night right taking a jab at Colbert’s competitors saying, “The good news for Stephen is that the two DOPES on NBC & ABC are not much better than him!” Colbert’s counterparts include Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show and Seth Meyers on Late Night, both on NBC, and Jimmy Kimmel on ABC.
Colbert was recently featured in an interview on PBS NewsHour, where he was asked if he would have Trump as a guest on the CBS late-night show. “I’ve had him before, and he was kind of boring, so no,” Colbert said. “I don’t like to have people on the show who I don’t think are going to be honest agents of their own ideas.” By providing your information, you agree to our Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy.
