Stephen Colbert has found a subtle way to dismiss President Donald Trump on The Late Show

While President Donald Trump continues to protest the 2020 election, Stephen Colbert is mounting his own protest.The Late Showhas censored the current presidents name from the monologue.

On Monday nights show, Stephen Colbert celebrated Joe Bidens victory with champagne. When he noted that President Trump had yet to concede, Colbert joked that it didnt matter because he already forgot the presidents name. Still, the monologue continued to reference President Trump by name.

But that changed as the week went on. Colbert stopped using Donald Trump and instead referred to the President or the current President. Its something that many other critics of President Trump have done, including Hasan Minhaj as he told Colbert back in 2018.

Last night onThe Late Show, Colberts monologue took things one step further. He didnt reference it but the name Trump was censored from the show. Graphics referencing reports on the presidents behavior repeatedly substituted his last name with T****. See for yourself right here:

The substance of Thursday nights monologue was all about how autocrats around the world are turning to President Donald Trump for inspiration. Despite failing lawsuits and a lack of evidence, President Trump continues to cling to power and refuse to cooperate with the transition of power. Whether or not it is just theatrics is irrelevant to Colbert who became emotional in the past when discussing President Trumps actions.

Giving the president the Voldermort treatment is one small way for Colbert to push back. It signals the end for President Trump and his time in the White House. Its still too soon forThe Late Showto completely forget about Donald Trump. And after five years of talking about him nonstop, the host cant be expected to quit cold turkey. So instead, it looks like Colbert is slowly but surely phasing Donald Trump out ofThe Late Show,first by refusing to say his name and now refusing to even show it.

Colbert also knows that President Trump loves being in the spotlight and loves hearing or seeing his name. Censoring the presidents name fromThe Late Showafter he lost the electionlets Colbert add insult to injury. We know that the president occasionally tunes in toThe Late Showbut chances are hed change the channel if his name didnt come up.

There are just under 70 days left until Joe Biden takes over the White House. Its also how long Colbert has to still refer to Donald Trump as the current president. But anyone worried about howThe Late Showwould survive in a post-Trump world now has proof that Stephen Colbert is looking forward to it.
