Letterman hammers 'dictator' Trump's Truth Social post attacking another late-night host

"The president of the United States now wants to fire Seth Meyers. Yeah. And I thought, 'This is just delightful. How do you think that's going to go?' So, anyway, I've never been more proud of Seth Meyers," the late-night icon said. 

Trump ripped the host of NBC's "Late Night With Seth Meyers" on his social media platform on Nov. 15.

"NBC's Seth Meyers is suffering from an incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). He was viewed last night in an uncontrollable rage, likely due to the fact that his 'show' is a Ratings DISASTER. Aside from everything else, Meyers has no talent, and NBC should fire him, IMMEDIATELY!"

Letterman joked that Meyers should be careful not to bring on Trump's wrath.

Elsewhere during the podcast, Letterman was less tongue-in-cheek with his criticism of Trump, calling him a "dictator." 

"He's our dictator," Letterman added. "He's not going anywhere."

"Nobody cares what lies irrelevant David Letterman spews out," White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told Fox News Digital.
