Trump’s Twitter rants are starting to take their toll on all of us. Even his own aides are becoming nervous about what he is spewing out to the rest of the world. One official told the Wall Street Journal that they organized what he called an “intervention.”
After hearing about this, CBS late-night show host, Stephen Colbert, decided to stage a “Twitter-vention” of his own saying:
“But there are plenty of us who have been deeply affected by President Trump’s tweets.”
Colbert pulled out a piece of paper and pretended to read:
“Dear President Trump, your tweeting has affected me in the following ways: My ratings are up.”
His audience then applauded and cheered.
From a Washington Post article:
“He’s not wrong; “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” is projected to be this season’s most-watched late-night program, CBS announced Tuesday. It’s the first time in over a decade that CBS has beaten NBC in overall late-night audience with a season-long host.”
Colbert, probably Trump’s biggest late night show critic, has been using his show as a huge platform to respond to the president’s crazy antics. He recently tweeted this:
Trump talked smack about me in TIME mag. If only I had a nightly show to respond on…oh yeah, I do! Join us, won't you? 11:35 #briarpatch

On Tuesday, Colbert ended his monologue by joking some more about how Trump’s tweets have affected his show. He said:
“But President Trump, some nights half of my monologue is just about things you’ve tweeted. You’re squeezing out other fun news stories. Did you know San Francisco is opening a rat cafe? They are. That’s real. You took that away from me!”
“We want you to accept help, or at the very least, auto-correct. How many ways can you misspell ‘independent counsel?’ So, please give up this harmful addiction and try another coping mechanism. Have you tried drinking? ‘Cause that’s what I’ve been doing, and it’s going pretty great.”
