Jon Stewart rips Trump over White House Correspondents' Dinner remarks

comedyJul 28, 202631622

On The Daily Show Jon Stewart sharply criticized President Donald Trump’s rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Dinner remarks, calling many of the jokes ill-fated and poorly delivered. Stewart singled out Trump’s jabs at CNN’s Kaitlan Collins about her looks and smile and noted a meandering joke about Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that never landed because Trump diverted midsetup. Stewart also highlighted Trump repeating his claim that he hates Sen. Adam Schiff, arguing that roasting loses pleasure when it is framed as genuine hatred and comparing that turn to an inappropriate postscript to a roast. Stewart played a montage of the room’s responses and said the audience registered a "melange of confusion, boredom, shock, and at one point, a literal existential crisis." CNN’s Kaitlan Collins was a guest on the program and rebutted Trump during the interview, describing her approach to handling his insults. Stewart closed by warning that a comedian should not leave an audience rethinking the choices that led them to that night.

It’s a shame John Stewart wasn’t this discerning a few years back when his fawning softball interview with Mark Carney helped elect him as the most rightwing Prime Minister Canada has ever had. If Americans want to see what a more socially savvy Steven Miller might look like, check him out.

Jon Stewart on the White House Correspondents Dinner: “This event is worse than pro forma. It’s actually an act of submission… Trump “gets to shake hands with leaders of a profession whose members he has subpoenaed, arrested, sued, cut their funding, barred their access, and even had deported.”

The dinner this year was held downstairs in debasement.

And possibly dismembered while still alive?

As so many of us have been saying…

Mr. Christian2

Let’s not forget the WaPo correspondent who was cut to pieces while he was still alive. Trump didn’t give a fig.

“It's really not about me, and I don't want it to be about my reaction, in those moments, it's important to put the reminder back on the work, on the question, and on the non-answers we get.” #JonStewart sits down with #CNN's award-winning chief correspondent #KaitlanCollins youtu.be/wJiBtLAzKPs?...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZF_t... Boring, Stupid, Redundant, and not Funny. Trump muddles through a hate filled dialogue and loves to hear himself talk, and talk, and talk... except it seems all of his insults are mirrored images of himself.
