Trump’s distaste for CBS hosts likely stems from his legal battle with CBS, which saw Paramount settle a lawsuit for $16 million with the president over Kamala Harris’ 60 Minutes interview. Sources claimed the suit could have impeded Skydance’s acquisition of Paramount, which requires approval from the FCC under the Trump administration.

Donald Trump has been gloating in recent weeks about CBS’ decision to cancel Stephen Colbert and “The Late Show,” and now he’s targeting another one of the network’s on-air personalities: “CBS Mornings” co-host Gayle King.

Trump’s attack on King, though, comes just weeks after CBS announced the cancellation of The Late Show, whose host Stephen Colbert is an unrelenting critic of the president. The last episode will air in May 2026.
