Former late-night talk show host David Letterman went after President Trump saying he was surprised at how soulless the president has become.
“I think he just liked being on TV. I had no sense that he was the soulless bastard that he’s turned into.” Letterman said in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter’s “Awards Chatter” podcast. “He used to be kind of like the boob of New York that pretended to be wealthy, or we thought was wealthy, and now he’s just a psychotic.”
“I don’t even care if it’s recorded, I would just like to talk to the guy, because, as I said before, he knows me, I know him — what the hell went wrong?!” Letterman added.
Letterman’s comments followed him being notified that the president had gone on his late-night show more than 30 times.
“More than 30?” he said. “Wow! You’re welcome, America.”
His comments are a far cry from 2010 when he tweeted out that “Donald Trump is a genius.”
