BREAKING: “PUT TO SLEEP” — Trump calls for Stephen Colbert’s head in late-night meltdown.
Last night, after CBS aired the Kennedy Center Honors, a pretaped special hosted by none other than Donald Trump from the freshly rebranded — and legally questionable — “Trump Kennedy Center,” Donald Trump had a full-blown public mental breakdown.
For once, his target wasn’t a prosecutor, a judge, or a foreign leader. It was Stephen Colbert, America’s most relentless late-night satirist, who once again got under Trump’s skin so badly that the emotionally unstable Commander-in-Chief erupted online in an explosive late-night rage.
After CBS aired a rerun of The Late Show, Trump went into a rampage on Truth Social, calling Colbert a “pathetic trainwreck” and demanding the network “put him to sleep.” Yes, that’s the phrase Trump decided to use. Not cancel. Not retire. “Put him to sleep.” Like an unwanted pet.
Unfortunately, the rant didn’t stop there. Trump accused Colbert of having “no talent,” mocked his ratings, and declared that CBS — along with ABC and NBC — should have their broadcast licenses revoked for daring to air criticism of him. He then capped the tirade by wishing everyone a “Merry Christmas,” as if threatening media figures were just part of the holiday cheer.
The meltdown came just days after Colbert skewered Trump on-air for his ego-driven takeover of the Kennedy Center and his obsession with being seen as a cultural icon. Colbert mocked Trump’s hunger for applause, joking that the former president wants to run Broadway like a personal vanity project. The jokes clearly landed — and Trump clearly couldn’t take it.
Even by Trump standards, the outburst was unhinged. Calling for the silencing of comedians, invoking violent imagery, and demanding government punishment for speech he doesn’t like isn’t just thin-skinned — it’s authoritarian.
CBS has already announced The Late Show will end next year, citing industry economics, not politics. But Trump’s response revealed something deeper: a fixation on revenge, an inability to tolerate mockery, and a willingness to use government power to punish critics.
This wasn’t about ratings. It wasn’t about comedy. It was about a man who cannot stand being laughed at — and who wants to make sure no one ever does again.
Trump can try to rename the Kennedy Center after himself, but — at this point, at least — he still cannot cancel the First Amendment. And every unhinged post just proves Colbert’s point: the jokes about the infinitely mockable Alzheimer’s patient in the White House are not cruel, they are documentary.

This is the Trump photo that was accidentally included in the Epstein file release. Once they noticed the mistake, it was quickly removed. I happened to grab a screenshot before it was taken down. 🙃

@bp_plc leadership deeds:

Deeds define legacy. BP’s has become one of broken trust.
Many think of the 3 R’s as reading, writing & arithmetic.
@bp_plc 3 R’s?
🔴 Rejected trustees’ requests for cost-of-living rises
🔴 Refused to honour a 30+ yr pension policy
🔴 Rebuffed meetings with pensioner reps

“Stuff and nonsense.”
This describes @bp_plc's excuses for refusing all affordable discretionary pension increases proposed by Pension Trustees.
- No extra cost to BP.
- No evidence of harm to stakeholders.
- And “global fairness”? BP already varies pay and pensions by country.
When is a door not a door?
When it’s ajar.
It’s an old, corny joke - but it perfectly sums up BP’s refusal to engage with pensioner representatives over the past two years on a growing pension crisis of its own making.
