Stephen Colbert Gleefully Responds to Donald Trump’s Insults: “I Won”
The gloves are off in the Stephen Colbert vs. Donald Trump showdown.
The President of the United States had said in a recent interview that the Late Show host, who regularly slams him on TV and recently made a particularly crude comment about him, is a “a no-talent guy.” Colbert responded to Trump on his program Thursday night.

And you were very restraining–admirably restrained–but now you did it,” he said, whispering, “I won!”
On May 1, Colbert had slammed Trump on The Late Show after the president, who has called much of the mainstream media “fake news,” insulted his CBS colleague and Face the Nation host John Dickerson to his face during an on-air interview.

It was the latter comment, which was censored on TV, that spurred scores of viewers to file complaints with the FCC. In addition, “#FireColbert” trended on Twitter.
“Oh no! Oh…
