United States President Donald Trump posted a short video clip showing him picking up late‑night host Stephen Colbert and throwing him into a large green dumpster, then closing the lid and celebrating as a studio audience applauded.
The clip, uploaded without caption, begins with Trump seizing Colbert on the set of what appears to be a mock late‑night show and dumping him into a dustbin.
It then cuts to Trump pumping his fists and dancing to the Village People’s “YMCA” while the crowd applauds.
The post came a day after CBS aired the final episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which marked the end of Colbert’s 11‑year run as host after he took over the role in 2015 following David Letterman’s retirement.
The timing and lack of commentary add a fresh chapter to the long‑running public feud between Trump and Colbert.
The video drew immediate attention and mixed reactions on social media, with supporters praising the gag as humorous and critics condemning it as disrespectful and inflammatory.
