President Donald Trump escalated his feud with late-night television, targeting Stephen Colbert in a social media post on Wednesday.
On his Truth Social platform, Trump labeled the "Late Show" host a "dead man walking." He directly urged the network, CBS, to "put him to sleep."
The attack continues a long-running conflict between the former president and comedy hosts who frequently critique him. Colbert is known for his sharp political satire.
Trump's post did not specify a reason for the latest criticism. CBS has not issued a public response to the statement.
