About
Colbertposting is the act of parodying the politically-charged opening monologues from The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on 4chan's /tv/ and /pol/ boards, which typically include over-the-top intentional mispronunciations of President Donald Trump's name along with photoshopped images of Stephen Colbert appearing angry or distraught.
Origin
In early April 2017, users on 4chan's /tv/ board began making posts attributing intentionally misspelled variations of Donald Trump's name to Colbert, along with photoshops of the late night host appearing angry. On April 8th, 2017, the earliest archived use of the term "Colbertposting" was submitted to a thread on /tv/.[6]
