Jon Stewart mocked Donald Trump on The Daily Show as the former POTUS campaigns and makes a run for the White House amid the hush money criminal trial.
“Our former president and illustrious historian, Donald J. Trump, spoke near one of America’s most hallowed battlefields,” Stewart said on the Comedy Central show. “And if you thought Lincoln consecrated Gettysburg with his soaring rhetoric… Well, buckle up.”
Stewart cut to a Trump rally where the former president incoherently talked about the Battle of Gettysburg, saying, “What an unbelievable, I mean, it was so much and so interesting and so vicious and horrible, and it’s so beautiful in so many different ways. It represented such a big portion of the success of this country. Gettysburg, wow.”
The show’s host joked that Trump’s statement was “plagiarized, almost directly, from my seventh-grade book report.”
Stewart joked, trying to make sense of Trump’s words, “Is he talking about a Civil War battle or a horse giving birth?”
Trump’s incoherent words didn’t make sense, and Stewart said that “to be fair to the former president, he does have a lot on his mind right now.”
Stewart moved on to the criminal trial over the hush money payment he made to Stormy Daniels during his first presidential run. The host cut to a CNN broadcast where Maggie Haberman said Trump appeared to be sleeping during the trial.
“Imagine committing so many crimes, you get bored at your own trial? Move on to the good stuff!” Stewart noted.
Stewart also mocked Trump for comparing himself to Jesus Christ and Nelson Mandela.
