“The Daily Show” created a checklist with fascism’s “defining features” on Monday night’s episode, including aggressive masculinity, intense nationalism and a fear of outsiders.

And Trump met every requirement.

“It’s hard to keep all those things in mind, but I’ve come up with a handy mnemonic device: Listen to everything Donald Trump says,” host Trevor Noah said.

“It almost, kind of stops being funny while you’re watching it. I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’s still funny for me because I have a back-up plan country,” he added.

  3. Well done… Let’s see more of this honest trump coverage

  4. Nice to see the Daily Show getting back to what Jon made it: political satire, not just orange skin and comb over jokes.

    Too bad it was a day after John Oliver’s much better take-down.
