Jon Stewart gave his tackle the “historic vibe shift” of Donald Trump’s second inauguration Monday night time.
Stewart took on Trump’s news-filled inauguration day (full video beneath) throughout Monday’s episode of Comedy Central’s The Day by day Present. Throughout Stewart’s 15-minute opener, he mocked the tech billionaires in attendance, President Joe Biden’s last-minute pardons of his household, Elon Musk’s controversial crowd salute and, in fact, Trump’s speech.
— On all of the tech titans bending the knee to Trump: “A plethora of bald billionaires who all appear to go to the identical bio-hack life extension clinic and say, ‘Give me the Lex Luthor’ … These six guys who management perhaps 20 p.c of the world’s wealth and one hundred pc of your nudes. Shouldn’t this gathering be occurring in a volcano’s lair close to Zurich? Or are we simply open supply Illuminati? Now, the place’s the conspiracy enjoyable in that? Actually, there’s not a helpful app of communication not managed by not less than considered one of these people. And also you will not be involved that they’ve all ponied up 1,000,000 {dollars} to be sitting there and are kissing the ass of a president who overtly threatens non ass kissers. However belief me, shit’s going to get bizarre.”
— On Elon Musk’s emphatic hand gesture, which many have stated appears to be like somewhat just like a Nazi salute (Musk has mocked this declare): “Okay, charitably, I’m going to say that was simply an ungainly ‘my coronary heart goes out to you’ gesture. It’s a one off gesture. Please strive to not use it once more” [Then Stewart played Musk doing it a second time to the crowd behind him]. “I’m simply going to be beneficiant and say perhaps that was Elon’s try at dabbing on the haters.”
— On Trump not truly placing his hand on the Bible throughout his swearing-in: “As a result of one or the opposite would burst into flames. Maybe each.”
— On Trump dissing Biden as the previous president sat proper behind him throughout his swearing-in speech: “[Biden’s] proper behind you! Fortunately, I don’t assume he can hear you. The inaugural speech adopted the American custom of a passive-aggressive switch of energy — the incoming president will get to fully shit on the outgoing president, in entrance of that president and hopefully his partner.”
— On Biden giving last-minute pardons to his different rapid members of the family simply as Trump took the stage: “Biden, you’re at the inauguration! Did you auto-schedule your pardons? What the fuck man? You’re simply pardoning your complete household? It’s not a great look. Like every good captain, because the ship goes down, he gave the order: ‘That lifeboat is for my household!’ The remainder of you are able to do only a Jack and Rose factor.”
Concluded Stewart: “The take away of this whole day was a person who tried to overthrow the federal government has been peacefully handed the reins of energy, and the outgoing president has began a brand new custom of blanket pardoning everybody in his orbit. The 2 males created an impressive snake sucking its personal dick, a cycle of no accountability.”
