Late-night host Stephen Colbert on Wednesday ripped into President Trump’s ban on transgender people in the military, saying Trump might as well have ended his tweet saying “F--- you.”

On “The Late Show,” Colbert read out loud Trump’s Wednesday tweets announcing that he would ban transgender people from serving in the military in a voice mocking Trump, noting that he finished the series of tweets with “thank you.”

“Thank you? F--- you.”

“Today I really think he’s off his meds, because today he went from crazy to cruel,” he said.

Colbert asked why Trump would make the decision, after promising during the campaign to fight for LGBT people. Reading a tweet that Trump made last year, Colbert mused that he could have not known what the "T" LGBT stands for.

“What the hell does he think the 'T' in LBGT stands for? Trump?" he said.

Colbert noted that transgender rights activist Caitlyn Jenner called out the president for his decision, warning that she should have expected him to lie.

“Caitlyn, I don’t know if I'm the first person to break this to you, but he’s a liar," he said. “I know he said he was your friend but he was using you, girl. You deserve better.”

He noted that there were 15,000 transgender troops that were “fired by tweet," comparing that decision to getting divorced via a "cookie bouquet."
