Speaking with reporter Brian Glenn during a White House press conference, Trump was asked about the cancelation of Stephen Colbert and the possible ending of Howard Stern’s show on SiriusXM.
“Do you think the ‘hate Trump’ business model that’s been in the entertainment business is going out of business because it’s not popular with the American people?” asked Glenn.
“Well, it hasn’t worked. And it hasn’t worked, really, for a long time, and I would say pretty much from the beginning. Colbert has no talent,” remarked Trump. “I mean, I could take anybody here. I could go outside in the beautiful streets and pick a couple of people that do just as well or better. They’d get higher ratings than he did. He’s got no talent.”
“Fallon has no talent. Kimmel has no talent. They’re next. They’re gonna be going. I hear they’re gonna be going. I don’t know, but I would imagine because they’d get– you know, Colbert has better ratings than Kimmel or Fallon,” he added.
As Breitbart News reported last month, CBS announced the cancelation of Stephen Colbert’s show, calling it a “financial decision.”
