The “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert mocked fans of President Donald Trump during a segment on his show Tuesday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During his monologue, Colbert remarked that a University of Massachusetts Amherst poll found that Trump’s approval rating had sunk to just 33%. After the audience cheered, he added that Trump’s other poll numbers were also “pretty rough.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“On average, 47.2% of Americans strongly disapprove of him,” Colbert said. “There are still 22.4% who strongly approve of him.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The audience then booed at the news of people still supporting Trump, leading Colbert to address the camera and ask, “Who are you?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colbert then used a mocking tone and joked, “Well, I want gas to be expensive. I want the Kennedy Center blown up. And I know this is a pipe dream, but is there any way that maybe \u2014 maybe \u2014 we could get Denmark to hate us? Because I would just love it if the price of licorice went up, too.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a comment to Fox News Digital, White House spokesperson Davis Ingle said, “Stephen Colbert is a pathetic train wreck with no talent and terrible ratings, which is exactly why CBS canceled his show and is booting him off the airwaves.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump stood at 41% approval and 59% disapproval in the latest Fox News national poll, which was conducted March 20\u201323. The president’s negative 18-point margin was up from 14 points in the previous Fox News poll, which was conducted Feb. 28\u2013March 2, as the strikes against Iran began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colbert has frequently blasted Trump on his show, calling him a “son of a b—-” and going so far as telling the president to “go f— yourself.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His comments have only gotten more incendiary since it was announced that “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” would air its final episode in May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colbert and other liberal commentators have accused CBS and its parent company Paramount of canceling the show to appease Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
