Jon Stewart praised Donald Trump’s authoritarian aesthetic, saying, ‘Your d— is covered in real gold, not the paint.

The fawning by the president’s inner circle is ‘so over the top,’ the host of The Daily Show asked, ‘Are they making fun of him?

“Jon Stewart delivered his usual critique of Donald Trump’s second term as president on Monday’s episode of The Daily Show, but he reserved a particularly sharp rant for the president’s inner circle.

The episode featured footage of current Cabinet members, one after another, praising Trump endlessly for his ‘leadership at the border,’ for doing ‘a great service to your country,’ and so on. The comedian questioned whether the praise was sincere.

‘When I watch those Cabinet meetings,’ Stewart said, ‘I actually think, are they making fun of him? It’s so over the top.’ He imitated them, saying, ‘Mr. President, oh, thank you so much. Your d— is so big, we can barely lift it because it’s covered in real gold — not the paint, real gold.’

Stewart also played a clip earlier in the episode where Trump told a reporter that no one had ever been able to come up with a paint color that looks like real gold, while showing her angels made of gold in the White House.

“‘They’re angels,’ Stewart said, slipping into his Trump impression. ‘They visited me in the night and asked me to change my ways. So I held them down and dipped them in gold. I drowned them in gold, liquid gold. Have you ever heard an angel scream? It is just, it is erotic.’

He did it again later, referencing Trump’s cuts in funding in areas like health.

‘Why can’t they make a paint that looks like gold?’ Stewart said in his Trumpian voice. ‘I don’t mind them canceling pediatric cancer research, but I hope by the end of the term we can come up with a good gold paint substitute.'”

“Stewart speculated that the decor was intentional.

‘Authoritarianism isn’t just about policies. It’s an aesthetic,’ he said. ‘The opulence of Medieval kings, the excesses of Middle Eastern autocrats. It’s a Pinterest vibe that speaks to the power of one’s position, the riches that come with the privilege of the office.'”
