Stephen Colbert, host of Late Night, had a simple question after President Donald Trump's frantic late-night posting spree on Monday into Tuesday morning. 'Last night, Trump prepped for his enormously consequential state visit by staying up late on social media, gunking up the internet tubes with a waterfall of paranoid madness, posting over 55 times in just three hours until 1:13 a.m.,' Colbert said on Tuesday, referring to the president's actions before departing for China.
'When Does This Man Sleep?'
'My God, when does this man sleep?' Colbert asked before playing a clip from Monday of Trump dozing off in the Oval Office. 'Oh, right. Right, I forgot. There you go,' Colbert said.
Trump's Late-Night Habits
Trump has become notorious over the years for his late-night social media activity, but his posts since retaking the White House have become increasingly unhinged. Much of the content on the president's Truth Social account consists of AI-generated images, including depictions of himself as Jesus, Superman, and the pope. On any given night, Trump can be seen burning the midnight oil by attacking news outlets, his political opponents, or the 'radical left' in general.
Trump has also been known to get minimal sleep on a nightly basis. His former butler stated in 2016 that Trump sleeps 'three to four hours at most a night.'
