Former President Donald Trump has ignited a new controversy by posting an AI-generated video on his official X account, which shows late-night host Stephen Colbert being thrown into a dumpster. This comes on the heels of the cancellation of Colbert's show, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which ended on May 21, 2026, due to financial strains impacting traditional late-night television, despite Colbert maintaining high ratings throughout his time slot. The video quickly went viral, featuring Colbert hosting his show before Trump enters, lifts him, and tosses him into a garbage can, followed by Trump dancing to the song 'YMCA', which he has referred to as the 'Gay anthem'. This playful yet controversial content reflects the long-standing rivalry between Trump and Colbert, who has been one of Trump's most vocal critics during his presidency. Trump's use of AI-generated content has previously drawn criticism, including past instances where he depicted himself in various roles. CBS has clarified that the cancellation of Colbert's show was purely economic and not politically motivated, despite Colbert's critiques of the network's dealings with Trump.
