US President Donald Trump shared an AI-generated video mocking television host Stephen Colbert following the final broadcast of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, reigniting their long-running public feud. The video was posted on Trump’s social media accounts, including Truth Social and X, without any caption.

The edited clip shows Trump lifting Colbert and throwing him into a dumpster placed on the set of the late-night programme. The video then cuts to Trump dancing to Y.M.C.A. by Village People in front of a cheering crowd. The post rapidly circulated online and drew sharply divided reactions from users across social media platforms.

Supporters of Trump described the clip as humorous and consistent with his confrontational political style, while critics accused him of mocking a media figure after the end of a major television programme. Some users questioned whether the video originated from a parody account due to its unusual nature, while others argued that it reflected increasingly aggressive political messaging online.

The AI-generated video appeared shortly after Trump publicly celebrated the conclusion of Colbert’s tenure at CBS. In a separate social media post, Trump criticised the comedian’s performance as host and claimed the programme had suffered from poor ratings. The remarks added another layer to the years-long rivalry between the two public figures, which frequently played out through televised monologues and online statements.

Colbert hosted The Late Show for nearly a decade and became one of the most recognisable critics of Trump during his presidency and subsequent political campaigns. His commentary on American politics, particularly during election cycles, often targeted Trump and conservative figures, helping shape the show’s political identity in recent years.

The circulation of AI-generated political content involving public figures has increasingly drawn attention from media analysts and technology experts. Critics warn that manipulated videos and synthetic media can blur the line between satire and misinformation, especially when distributed by influential political leaders with large online followings.
