Colbert, Kimmel mock president for attacking late-night hosts amid pandemic

In the battle against the novel coronavirus, President Trump, who dubbed himself a “wartime president,” says he has largely been focused on fighting the deadly outbreak sweeping across the United States. But the urgent need to stop the “invisible enemy,” as Trump calls it, doesn’t mean the president has forgotten about his more visible foes.

That much was evident this week when Trump appeared to find time between handling the health crisis and attacking his political adversaries to go after another group of people who have often been the target of his ire: late-night hosts.

During an Oval Office sit-down with the New York Post on Monday, Trump slammed Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert for being “nasty” and having “no talent.” He then continued his onslaught on Tuesday, firing off a tweet attacking Colbert, Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel over their ratings.

Kimmel and Colbert, two of Trump’s most vocal critics, wasted no time hitting back at the president.
