Stephen Colbert, the washed-up late-night host whose anti-Trump obsession helped kill his show's ratings, is already plotting his next move to cash in on Trump Derangement Syndrome. According to Washington Examiner columnist Guy Benson, Colbert will likely launch a 'resistance' podcast and portray himself as being 'silenced' by President Trump once The Late Show mercifully ends on May 21.
The prediction comes as Colbert's show limps toward its finale with a series of tributes that have drawn pathetic ratings over the past six months. Instead of accepting responsibility for turning late-night comedy into unwatchable political propaganda, Colbert appears ready to double down on his failed formula.
'He's going to claim he's being silenced and probably start some resistance podcast,' Benson noted, highlighting the predictable playbook these Hollywood liberals use when their anti-Trump content fails to connect with real Americans.
Another Liberal Media Grift
This shouldn't surprise anyone who's watched Colbert's transformation from occasionally funny comedian to full-time Democratic Party operative. For years, he's used his platform to spread lies about President Trump, push radical leftist talking points, and mock the very Americans who made his career possible.
Now that his show is getting canceled, Colbert is setting up the ultimate victim narrative. Rather than admitting his Trump-obsessed content drove away viewers, he'll claim the 'fascist' Trump administration somehow forced him off the air. It's the perfect setup for another liberal media grift targeting TDS-afflicted donors and subscribers.
The truth is simpler: Americans are tired of being lectured by Hollywood elites who hate everything about this country and the people who live in it.
President Trump's decisive victory in 2024 and his successful second-term agenda have left the entertainment establishment scrambling. Their eight-year campaign of lies and propaganda not only failed—it backfired spectacularly, helping Trump become the first president since Grover Cleveland to serve non-consecutive terms.
Will Americans fall for Colbert's victim act, or will they see through this transparent attempt to monetize his own failures? The answer might determine whether the 'resistance' grift still works in Trump's America.
