Ridiculing Trump for insisting that children this holiday season would have to settle for fewer dolls and pencils due to his tariffs, late night host Jon Stewart exclaimed, ‘If a Democrat had even hinted at toy rationing for American children, we’d have a full week of Fox Special Reports on the sobbing children of socialist America.’
Noting that “Trump has such a Depression-era view of what kids play with in 2025,” Stewart mockingly impersonated the president, saying that “kids don’t need 20 sets of those hoops you hit down the street with a stick” because “just one hoop is Jim dandy!”
Kicking off Monday night’s Daily Show monologue with Trump’s interview with NBC News’ Kristen Welker, Stewart sarcastically wondered how the president would thread the “rhetorical needle” of “taking credit for the remaining good parts of the economy, while subtly assigning blame to Joe Biden for some of the bad, on fire parts.”
Then we see the president flatly saying that “the good parts are the Trump economy and the bad parts are the Biden economy.”
Jon Stewart then quips, ‘Trump nailed it.’
Watch.
