Summary

Jon Stewart mocked Donald Trump’s reaction to the war plan leak, accusing him of exhibiting “quick onset dementia” whenever faced with accountability.

Stewart noted Trump’s aloof response to the security breach, where classified war plans were leaked via a Signal group chat mistakenly including a journalist.

Stewart criticized Trump’s repeated denial pattern, comparing it to previous instances where Trump distanced himself from controversial actions.

He also condemned the “crazy arrogance” of officials involved in the chat, calling the situation a major national security blunder.

      I never watched the Apple show, so I have no idea on how they compare. Jon is doing old school Daily Show stuff on Mondays and then the rest of the week is a different host that hosts the entire week. You’re probably not going to agree with everything he says, but they have an amazing research staff. You’ll see things there that you might not see anywhere else because they care and are more journalist than most of our media.

      It’s a very very different show. The Daily Show is pretty much back to the Obama-era show in tone and theme, but the hosts change.

      Jon’s long form interviews are now a “Weekly Show” podcast that’s on Thursdays.

      Yes, absolutely. He’s only on Monday nights, but he’s usually on point. Ignore the contrarians in this thread.

      His podcast is also great.
