Predictably, Trump lashes out at David Letterman.. "overrated", "LOSER!!"

Letterman warned comedians won't be the only ones targeted by the Trump administration.

“In the world of somebody who is an authoritarian, maybe a dictatorship, sooner or later, everyone is going to be touched,” he said.

-----

In classic Trump fashion, the president took to his Truth Social platform to attack Letterman.


"Whatever happened to the very highly overrated David Letterman, whose ratings were never very good, either. He looks like hell, but at least he knew when to quit. LOSER!!!"

Said the orange clinical narcissist OBSESSED by ratings.

Ahem.

Letterman’s show ran for 33-years.
Five nights a week, almost every week.
More than 6,000 shows!
How many shows were there of The Apprentice that ran once a week for 15 weeks over 15 years? (Do the basic arithmetic…if you can.)

Letterman is one the most nominated people in the history of the Emmy Awards, with 52 nominations, winning two Daytime Emmys and ten Primetime Emmys since 1981.

How many Emmys did you get for your shitty “reality” show…? (Hint: rhymes with ‘spiro.”)

Fun fact: When Trump first heard the title of his show, he didn’t know what an apprentice was. He had to be told.
