Stephen Colbert has delivered several sharp, highly critical lines about Donald Trump recently, especially after news that CBS will end The Late Show.

Latest big quote

In his July 2025 monologue, Colbert directly responded to Trump gloating on social media about The Late Show being canceled and calling Colbert untalented.

He looked into the camera and said, mockingly: “How dare you, sir? Would an untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism? Go f— yourself.”

Context: why he said it

  • Trump had posted on Truth Social that he “absolutely love[d]” that Colbert was canceled and mocked his ratings, even adding that Jimmy Kimmel might be “next.”
  • Colbert used his monologue to push back, joking that he was the “martyr” of late night and that the “gloves are off” now that the show is ending, meaning he feels freer to hit Trump even harder.

Other recent Colbert lines about Trump

  • On Trump’s AI video showing himself in a crown dumping excrement on “No Kings” protesters, Colbert said it was like “King Trump defecating on America,” and called Trump a “one-man hate march” for attacking peaceful demonstrators.
  • Talking about Trump’s Jeffrey Epstein controversy, Colbert joked that Trump is “frantically searching for someone to blame” and “desperately looking for a scapegoat,” mocking how he tries to shift responsibility and call the case a “hoax.”

Overall tone

  • Colbert’s comments are openly hostile, heavily satirical, and frame Trump as vindictive, thin-skinned, and obsessed with enemies.
  • He mixes insults (“go f— yourself,” “one-man hate march”) with political criticism about Trump’s behavior toward protesters, the media, and ongoing scandals.

TL;DR:
Most recently, when Trump gloated that The Late Show was canceled and mocked his talent, Stephen Colbert fired back on air with: “Go f— yourself,” wrapped in a long, sarcastic rant about Trump’s ego and behavior.
