Jon Stewart Tackles Trump’s Threats Toward Panama & Denmark: “What Are We, The Jake Paul Of Nations?”

deadline.com:

Tonight’s installment of The Daily Show had Jon Stewart tackling a number of topics — from president Donald Trump‘s “war on DEI” to his aggression toward nations like Panama (he wants to “take back” the canal) and Denmark (he wants to buy Greenland). “Denmark, Panama and Canada,” the host remarked, “we’re America, we used to fight the Nazis.

Now we’re scouring the globe for easy marks? What are we, the Jake Paul of nations?” Moving on to Trump’s tariffs, Stewart played a clip of Democratic Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer, who gave a press briefing to address the fallout of such actions, holding up a beer and an avocado as examples of items that could become more expensive as a result of the trade war. “Democrats, can you please stop f—ing trodding Schumer out there, every time Trump traverses into the unreal?” Stewart began his plea, pausing between every word. “[Whispering] He’s not good at this.

What is the decision-making process here? Hey, who should we get out there to effectively battle one of the most savvy presidential media manipulators in history?

Oh, I don’t know, how about Schumer? He’s uninteresting, but at least he’s monotone. Oh wait, and Chuck, before you go out there, you look too young, put on these readers and lower them on your nose.
