With the The Each day Present Presents: President Trump’s Second First 100 Days: An Unbelievable 100 Days With Zero Disturbance, Jon Stewart started his section this week by crawling out from behind his desk with an unkempt, Gandalf-length beard.
“It’s formally been a 100 days of Donald Trump,” he mentioned, wearily and laconically. “I’m so drained. It’s growing older this nation in Tom Hanks’ Castaway years.”
After enjoying a spotlight reel of the late-night present’s particular version protection, he emerged sans beard: “I used to be kidding! Vitality! Think about me with a white beard,” he quipped, instantly grimacing upon realization.
Starting with President Donald Trump’s abysmal approval ranking, Stewart joked, “He doesn’t care. He’s not afraid of being underwater as a result of he’s outfitted with a flotation unit protecting accent, or a FUPA. Look it up.” (The viewers already caught his drift, bursting into laughter, as Stewart referenced the medical time period “fatty higher pubic space.”)
The political comedian then tackled Trump’s impact on the economic system, enjoying a clip from the marketing campaign path through which the GOP chief promised a “brand-new Trump financial increase” upon his second time period.
“Sadly, I do suppose it’s fairly clear that on the economic system, Donald Trump did make a boom-boom,” Stewart mentioned in his finest newscaster voice, earlier than transitioning to a mocking baby-talk tone, “He made just a little boom-boom, just a little ache. Aw, did Trump go boom-boom?”
Chatting with how POTUS has profited for the reason that assumption of Trump 2.0, Stewart went in on Amazon’s reported $40 million acquisition of a new Melania Trump documentary.
“Ah! The free market,” he started. “However critically, $40 million for a documentary about Melania Trump? No offense, I’m positive she’s an fascinating particular person, however PBS made the whole lot of the Ken Burns Civil Warfare collection for $3.5 million. Shoah was $3 million; clearly they wished 4, however they nonetheless acquired a very good value. The whole thing of the Planet Earth collection, 11 episodes, was lower than that: $25 million. And I do know Melania is a mysterious and personal lady, however I assure you don’t have to attend exterior her home for weeks at a time hoping to catch a uncommon nocturnal feeding on a striped South American toad.”
Naturally, Stewart additionally addressed Pope Francis’ loss of life, which got here shortly after he met with Vice President JD Vance.
“Jessica Diane Vance, what did you do to this man? This pope has actually touched lepers. He drank sewage water in slums and survived all of it. 10 minutes! 10 minutes speaking with JD Vance and the pope is like, ‘God, examine please,’” Stewart mentioned. “‘I’ve been celibate 88 years, that is the longest 10 minutes of my life.’”
Stewart concluded his section by ridiculing Trump’s feedback of getting “leverage” within the commerce warfare and his overly capitalist method to operating the nation, arguing that the higher hand truly belongs to “we the individuals.”
“It took the individuals 250 years of striving to stay as much as a constitutional republic and rule of legislation, painstaking fairness that you’re squandering. That’s the crux of American exceptionalism. You simply need to make us nice. That’s a downgrade. Our model will not be ‘strategic uncertainty‘ and you aren’t the keeper of our ‘pot of gold.’ You’re a short-term leprechaun,” he mentioned, to viewers cheers.
He added, “So if I may simply put this in negotiating phrases you may perceive: all caps, ‘Donald, STOP!‘”
