I liked the bit of his show with the 4 Trumps explaining the war. Stewart, Colbert, and Kimmel have been brilliant over the last few months.

Stewart's podcast discussions, where he keeps things 'serious', are also excellent.

Excellent- every day they have beaten them, what with being the best in the world.  Gas prices back to normal now the voters will love you even more.

Imagine this knob talking about the Vietnam War?
Week 1 - We have napalmed every member of the Vietcong, destroyed their tunnels and obliterated the NVA

Week 1018 - We have decided to leave with victory complete;we are just accounting for the whereabouts of 60,000 US soldiers

And by the way my Bone Spurs, which would have totally incapacitated anyone else, are improving since I have started ingesting bleach, and I am now able to enjoy a round of golf twice a day. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Donald J Trump.

18 holes in one? Even in the 450 yarders probably.

Japanese reporter to Trump at White House press conference just now: "Why didn't you inform your allies, such as Japan, you were about to strike Iran?"

Trump: "well, you didn't tell us about Pearl Harbour"

🤦🏼

What he actually said was "You didn't tell ME about Pearl Harbour".

Yet another example of Trump's weak grasp of history. US intelligence, ( oxymoron ? ), knew an attack was coming, and the Japanese did not intend to attack without a declaration of war, they simply got the time zones mixed up.

And that was yet another war over access to oil.
