Jon Stewart Calls Out Trump's 'Gleeful Cruelty'
by EG
Jon Stewart wants Donald Trump to know he's tired of the president being a bully. Stewart made a surprise appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to speak directly to the president and call him out for being a jerk. Read on to see Stewart's indignation.
After President Donald Trump slammed three late-night hosts in one rally speech earlier this week, Jon Stewart made a surprise appearance on CBS' The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to offer his own fighting words to the president.
"Hello, Donald. It's me, the guy you made sure everyone knew was Jewish on Twitter," the former Daily Show host comedian began. "I know you're upset about all the criticism you've been taking with the fake news and the fake late-night shows. It's just that we're all still having a hard time adjusting to your presidency as it goes into its' 500th year."
The comedian then began explaining that "everything is off its axis" amid Trump's presidency, which has made things "unusual," such as Putin and Kim Jong Un being "notable, intelligent role models" and Canada being "just a bunch of giant assholes."
"You're redoing the post-world alliances, only this time we're with the Axis powers," Stewart said.
Stewart then argued that there's a "hallmark" to Trump's presidency that many have found to be difficult: "No matter what you do, it always comes back with an extra layer of gleeful cruelty and dick-ishness. It's not just that you don't want people taking a knee. It's that they're sons of bitches if they do. It's not just denying women who accuse you of sexual assault. It's saying they're too ugly anyway. You can't just be against the media. They're enemies of the people."
Stewart also said that anyone in the Republican Party who chooses to speak against the president must feel "'humiliated,' even if they have a terminal disease."
