Jon Stewart used his latest The Daily Show opening monologue on Monday to excoriate President Donald Trump for holding a Great Gatsby-themed Halloween party at Mar-a-Lago. At the same time, millions of Americans continue to struggle due to the government shutdown.
Taking issue with House Speaker Mike Johnson describing Trump as “big-hearted” and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins claiming he is focused on the public “20 hours a day,” Stewart recalled the president recently posting an AI video of himself dumping a plane-load of diarrhoea on No Kings protesters, commenting: “It feels somewhat dismissive.”
