President Donald Trump on Tuesday made a prediction about the next major TV personalities to be fired in the wake of Stephen Colbert getting canned by CBS.
“Next up will be an even less talented Jimmy Kimmel, and then, a weak, and very insecure, Jimmy Fallon,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “The only real question is, who will go first?”
Trump also noted: “Everybody is saying that I was solely responsible for the firing of Stephen Colbert from CBS, Late Night. That is not true!
“The reason he was fired was a pure lack of TALENT, and the fact that this deficiency was costing CBS $50 Million Dollars a year in losses – And it was only going to get WORSE!”
“Show Biz and Television is a very simple business. If you get Ratings, you can say or do anything. If you don’t, you always become a victim. Colbert became a victim to himself, the other two will follow.”
Meanwhile, a protest of CBS in support of Colbert on Sunday drew a mere 20 people in New York City.

“Organizers say the protest was supposed to be a nationwide call for integrity after the Late Show was canceled,” Fox News reported.
Former NBC “Tonight Show” host Jay Leno is now criticizing his fellow late-night comedians for alienating half their audience with politics.
“I like to think people come to a comedy show to kind of get away from the things, the pressures of life,” said Leno.
“And I love political humor … don’t get me wrong. … People wind up cozying too much to one side or the other. Why shoot for just half an audience all the time?”
