Comedian Jon Stewart took some time out of his retirement to rib presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump at an event celebrating the the USO’s 75th birthday Thursday in Maryland.
The former “Daily Show” host, who was introducing Vice President Joe Biden, teased Biden for being “crazy” and unpredictable and then pivoted to taking a shot at Trump, according to Time.
“(Biden is) always a guy, you know, we had a lot of fun with … he’s a guy that’s unpredictable,” Stewart said. “He’ll say whatever he kind of thinks of, whatever comes to his mind, sort of impulsive. Sometimes, you might think to yourself, ‘That sounds crazy,’ or ‘Man, that is crazy.’ And who would have thought that now, that gets you the Republican nomination.”
Stewart kept the Trump jabs going, referencing the real estate mogul’s comments about aggressively using the military.
“Don’t worry, Trump’s gonna keep you busy when he’s the commander-in-chief,” Stewart said. “You’re gonna have to paint all the planes with ‘Trump’ in big gold letters. You’re gonna be busy.”
Watch below:
I’d love to know some military personnels’ thoughts about how armed services are constantly being referred to as “broken” or in needing of being “great again.” I know it’s standard GOP fare to talk about the military as though it’s broken, but really, isn’t the insistence that the servicemen and women are “losing” and in need of repair going to get on someone’s nerve?
How disconnected can you get?
A Trump Presidency would be a " boots on the ground " era —
I have to think that he is just about to bite his tongue off for retiring ahead of this campaign season. Its even worse than not having TDS every night…he has to stay basically quiet so as not to upstage Trevor.
…a smoking, radioactive ground.
I know John often complained about having to shave every day and was looking so forward to retirement, but talk about a transformation. Retired old geezer sitting on a park bench. Shave again John; it will be rejuvenating.
