Comedian Jon Stewart said Monday on a podcast that presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump was a “man-baby” with a baby’s “temperament and hands.”
Stewart criticized Trump during an appearance on “Axe Files,” a podcast hosted by David Axelrod, a former top advisor to President Obama. The former “Daily Show” host questioned Trump’s ability to run for the White House as a “man-baby.”
“He is a man-baby.” Stewart said, as flagged by Politico. “He has the physical countenance of a man, and a baby’s temperament and hands.”
Stewart went on to call him a “narcissistic asshole.” Stewart also threw some jabs to Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton.
“What I think about Hillary Clinton, I imagine to be a very bright woman without the courage of her convictions, because I’m not even sure what they are,” Stewart said, questioning her campaign’s genuineness.
Listen to Stewart:
Hahaha…you just made Derpy-D’s Twitter list, John! LOL
Fair comment on Clinton too. I support her, but I’ve always felt that to be one of her weaker points in that she plays he game the old-school way: waffling between hedging and pandering. That’s a shitty pendulum. I really do wish she’d come out more forcefully on the issues and take more hard lines. Derpy-D is the perfect person to do that against: he’s a reactionary dimwit who she would get to define by being first to take a clearer position.
Now, that’s not to say she’s not clear about everything, but, well, you can’t really deny she plays evasive on some.

Then you’re not paying attention. She’s laid out her convictions and policies repeatedly, and if you’re unsure it’s your own fault.
Agreed. I was saying that Drumpf is a man-child awhile back. But Stewart is just being a lazy fool when it comes to Clinton and wants simplistic slogans to be a stand-in for “convictions”. Disappointing.
And they’ve “evolved” 180° and then drifted like a sailboat in a hurricane.
This critique of Clinton is just so fucking contrived, and I hear it everywhere. Someone on NPR was concern trolling today about how she doesn’t have a simple overarching one-line summary of her campaign or her goals, like Trump or Sanders do. No shit. Sanders is a prisoner of his campaign messaging McNuggets, with no workable or substantial policy behind them, and Trump is a leaking dam of incoherent bile. These are not characteristics to aspire to.
