Jon Stewart Calls 'Bulls**t' On Outrageous New Claim About Trump's 'Pleasure'
"“Daily Show” host Jon Stewart on Monday called out Republicans for gloating that Democrats have walked into a “trap” with the shutdown of the federal government.
President Donald Trump has said he will use the shutdown to slash the budgets, staff and programs of “Democrat things” in retaliation.
But as Stewart pointed out, Trump has been doing that anyway since taking office in January, gutting staff and budgets for cancer research, foreign aid, food, education and more.
“In other words, to continue doing all the shit Trump has not needed any provocation or pretense or reason to already have been doing, lo, these past, God it feels like fucking 80 years,” Stewart said. “And yet, somehow, the Republicans have the balls to continue to insist that the secondhand urine on our legs is rain.”
He rolled clips of House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) blaming Democrats for the shutdown, saying Trump “takes no pleasure in this.”"
