While Trump likes to gripe about many in the press and media, one individual is now taking aim at the president.
Donald Trump appeared on “The Late Show With David Letterman” 30 times and Letterman never let him off easy, but he really unloaded on the president in a new podcast for The Hollywood Reporter.
"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. Is that putting too fine a point on it?" Letterman said. "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 said that he believes Trump liked being on TV, which is why he appeared on his show so much.
“I had no sense that he was the soulless bastard that he's turned into,” he added.
