Stephen Colbert's frequent monologues about Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein have clearly been getting to the president. During a recent White House event Trump took aim at the Late Show host once again while discussing his show's cancelation.

"Colbert has no talent, Fallon has no talent, Kimmel has no talent," Trump said. "They're next, they're gonna be going, I hear they're going to be going. I don't know, but I would imagine, because you know, Colbert has better ratings than Kimmel or Fallon, you know that?"

"I knew that, yeah, I knew that," responds Colbert. "But, to be fair, I think we're all equally untalented. Anyway I just wanted to say thank you for watching sir, and thank you for agreeing to be in our new promo."

Cue a parody Late Show promo clipping the bit where Trump says "Colbert has better ratings," credited to "our elderly viewers."
