“The Each day Present” host Jon Stewart on Monday put the media on blast for fixating an excessive amount of on Donald Trump’s stunts and never focusing sufficient on the “final downside” with the previous president.
“We’ve misplaced the flexibility to grasp what stage of shock to even exhibit,” he mentioned.
He performed footage of Trump’s 10-minute ramble about golf legend Arnold Palmer’s penis, together with a few of the media response, which he advised was an overreaction.
“For Trump, this was really one in all his milder genital rants,” he famous. “This was type of his Kidz Bop genitals rant: elegant, physique constructive. He was complimenting someone else. I don’t know why we have now to parse every part that this man says so sternly.”
Then he performed a really completely different clip of Trump.
“Now we have two enemies: Now we have the surface enemy after which we have now the enemy from inside,” Trump mentioned, including he might use the navy towards them. Trump mentioned these “enemies” embrace Democratic lawmakers and others who oppose him, and particularly named Reps. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
“They’re very harmful. … They’re so sick they usually’re so evil,” Trump mentioned.
“Are you out of your fucking thoughts?” Stewart shot again, then appeared for proof that Republican lawmakers would at the least present some concern over these feedback.
He couldn’t discover it, with key GOP figures similar to Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, Home Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu overtly mendacity about what Trump mentioned.
“He’s not speaking about utilizing the navy to assault individuals who disagree with him politically or something like that,” Sununu mentioned on CNN.
Stewart nearly misplaced it.
“He’s actually saying that! He’s actually saying that! What are you speaking about?” Stewart yelled, including:
That is what will get us to the final word downside, which is that this: Is any of the shit Trump says actual? How are we supposed to grasp what’s bullshit and what isn’t? Kamala Harris, she’s gotta have an 80-page presentation on precisely how this ‘alternative financial system’ is gonna perform and the way it’s gonna be paid for. In the meantime, the usual for Trump is ‘emotional neighborhood.’ Apparently, it doesn’t really matter if the issues he says are true.
