President Donald Trump used artificial intelligence to lampoon one of his most persistent media critics, sharing a digitally altered video on Truth Social that depicts him tossing late-night host Stephen Colbert into a dumpster.
According to Just The News, the AI-generated clip shows Colbert, who hosted his final episode of the "CBS Late Show" this week, being hoisted and thrown away by President Trump in a pointed bit of political satire. Colbert, a frequent critic of Trump, has long used his platform to mock conservative policies and Republican leaders, often reserving special scorn for the 45th president.
After he dumps Colbert in the dumpster, Trump is seen in the AI video doing his famous "YMCA" dance, a signature rally flourish that has become a cultural marker of his political brand. The video was posted Friday evening, underscoring how President Trump continues to bypass traditional media gatekeepers and speak directly to his supporters through his own social media platform.
For many on the right, the video will be seen as a humorous reversal of roles in which a conservative leader finally gets the last word on a liberal entertainer who built his ratings on partisan ridicule. For others, it highlights the growing role of AI in political messaging, as Republicans and Democrats alike test new ways to energize their bases and challenge a media establishment that often leans left.
