I absolutely love that Colbertâ got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings. I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert! Greg Gutfeld is better than all of them combined, including the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show.

Context

Trump celebrates Stephen Colbert's firing, predicts Jimmy Kimmel is next, praises Greg Gutfeld, and attacks an unnamed NBC host (likely Jimmy Fallon or Seth Meyers) for "ruining" the Tonight Show.

Authorship

Posted at 13:16 UTC. Trump likely at Mar-a-Lago or Bedminster in July — EDT (UTC-4) = 9:16 AM. Business hours but the post's informal, stream-of-consciousness style with emotional reactivity is characteristic of authentic Trump. The gloating tone, personal insults, and lack of polish all point to personal authorship.

Psychological Analysis

This is a classic schadenfreude/dominance display. Trump frames entertainment industry firings as personal vindication — late-night hosts were persistent critics, and their professional setbacks become narcissistic supply. The post follows a clear pattern: celebrate enemy's downfall → predict next enemy's downfall → elevate loyal ally → attack another enemy.

The phrase "I absolutely love" signals genuine emotional pleasure in an adversary's misfortune — ego-syntonic sadism at a mild level. The talent/ratings conflation is characteristic: Trump consistently equates commercial success with intrinsic worth.

Defense Mechanisms

Devaluation: Dismissing targets' talent as negligible
Splitting: Good (Gutfeld) vs. bad (all others) with no nuance

Rhetorical Techniques

Superlatives and comparatives dominate: "even less," "less talent," "better than all of them combined," "once great." The unnamed NBC host as "Moron" is classic ad hominem dehumanization-lite.

Cognitive Notes

Coherent, focused, on-message. No word-finding issues or tangentiality. Straightforward for Trump's style.
