Via The Hill:
David Letterman in a new Vulture interview weighs in on President Trump and the jokes he could’ve made about “Trumpy” if he still hosted “The Late Show.”
When asked how he feels about the late-night shows becoming social media sensations, Letterman called them useful while adding he didn’t know how to do it.
“But the idea of Twitter: Trumpy — my son, Harry, and I call him ‘Trumpy’ — has really got something with it. Rather than a laughable expression of ego run amok, it could be a useful tool,” Letterman said.
“If we get a president sometime soon who does not have a mental disorder, Twitter will be useful,” Letterman added.
Letterman also said Trump’s feud with civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) “broke” his heart.
“He’s ignorant in a way that’s insulting to the office, insulting to America, insulting to human rights, insulting to civil rights, insulting to John Lewis. Trump saying that broke my heart. I thought, ‘You stupid son of a bitch. You ought to have known better than that,’” Letterman said.
