Jon Stewart took intention at Donald Trump on Monday’s (March 31) version of The Day by day Present after the President floated the concept of probably serving an unprecedented third time period within the White Home.
On the prime of Monday’s episode, Stewart mentioned, “We’re gonna verify in with our good good friend democracy,” earlier than throwing to a clip of a Good Morning America information report about Trump “contemplating the choices” for a way he may run for a 3rd time period as President. The report said this is able to be a “breach of the structure’s two-term restrict for president.”
“I’m sorry, contemplating the choices?” Stewart responded. “What, are you making an attempt to order off-menu from the structure? ‘I see you bought two phrases, however can I get it animal model?’”
The late-night host then performed one other clip, which quoted Trump as telling NBC reporters, “There are strategies which you might do it,” one among which might be “urging his vp JD Vance to run after which cede energy again” to him. “That’s one methodology, however there are others, too,” Trump was quoted as saying.
“Sure, there are different strategies. I feel you tried one a number of years in the past,” Stewart quipped, referring to the January 6 assault on the Capitol following Trump’s 2020 election defeat. “There are different strategies for staying in energy past if you’re legally allowed to be there. Traditionally, a few of them contain catapults.”
Stewart continued, “Though, perhaps Trump has one thing extra artistic in thoughts, with the Vance factor. Have you ever heard of the film Face/Off? So, right here is how it will work. Trump will watch that film because the army seizes energy. What the f***?”
He added, “At which level, I’m certain Chuck Schumer will say, ‘I’ll enable it as a result of, within the third time period, we expect his reputation will go right down to 30.’”
Elsewhere, Stewart targeted on Trump’s continued firing of federal staff, saying, “In the meantime, the method of streamlining our stunning democracy continues apace. A few months into Trump’s second of his, let’s say, 4 to seven phrases, he continues to his vaunted Apprentice catchphrase: You’re fired.”
