” Screw you “. In his opening monologue of the “late show” on Monday evening, presenter Stephen Colbert spoke of Donald Trump’s satisfaction in the face of CBS’s sudden decision to delete the program next spring. In a message published on his Truth Social network last Friday, the American president was delighted: “I was absolutely delighted that Colbert was sent. His talent was still lower than his audiences. »»
“Would a man without talent be able to compose the following satirical spirit?” “Started Colbert. Then, appearing in a screen on which was written “Eloquence Cam”, he simulated a New York accent to say “will make you fuck. The replica aroused a thunderous approval from the public of Ed Sullivan Theater, while outside, a hundred supporters demonstrated their support for the daily program, scheduled since 1993.
“Friends, I’m going to say it: the Cancel Culture went too far,” said Colbert, smiling at the start of the program. “This weekend, I understood that they were going to kill our show. But they made a mistake: they left me alive, “he said. “And now, for the next ten months, I take off my gloves. I can finally tell the powerless truth to the powerful and say what I really think of Donald Trump, now. ” And to add, lips pinched to the Trump: “I do not appreciate it. He does not have the skills to be president. It doesn’t suit me, that’s all. »»
Colbert reiterated his praise for CBS, saying that they have “always been excellent partners”. But he also asked the following question: “How could it be a purely financial decision if The Late Show is number 1 of the hearings?” »»
Recalling that CBS had the delicacy to organize a “courteous anonymous leak” at the New York Post to justify the removal of the program by losses of $ 40 to 50 million per year, and not for political reasons, the host pretended to wonder: “I could imagine losing $ 24 million, but where could have passed the remaining 16 million? A direct reference to the 16 million that Paramount Global, CBS’s parent company, agreed to pay Donald Trump to end the billionaire, reproaching the chain to a deceptive assembly of an introductory sequence to an interview with Kamala Harris, when she was a democratic presidential candidate. Paramount needs the approval of the Trump administration to merge with Skydance Media and therefore paid a “bridge pot” to the president, had accused Colbert.
Trump demanded 10 billion compensation to CBS, the minimum sum he demands today of the Wall Street Journal for having written that the Republican had, in 2003, written an obscene letter to wish the 50th anniversary of the Pedocriminnel Jeffrey Epstein.
