Trump posts AI-generated video mocking Stephen Colbert after his CBS show ends
Stephen Colbert's final episode of The Late Show aired Thursday night after CBS canceled the show in July, citing financial reasons. President Trump posted an AI-generated video Friday showing himself throwing Colbert into a dumpster while dancing to "YMCA," following earlier Truth Social posts where Trump called Colbert a "total jerk" with "no talent" and "no ratings."

The split, in one line
All outlets reported the AI video and Trump's derisive posts identically. The divergence lies in context about the show's cancellation: Breitbart alone mentions Colbert's joke about Paramount paying Trump $16 million for a settlement, implying a causal link to the cancellation; other outlets treat it as purely financial.
