Jon Stewart made an impassioned plea for clarity on Monday night’s Daily Show. He focused on Trump’s latest display of dumbness in Latrobe, PA where he talked for ten minutes about Arnold Palmer’s dick. Stewart then used this as an entre into a discussion about more serious stuff Trump has said recently about “the enemy from within”—you know, people like Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi—the real, dangerous crazies on the left.
Stewart tried to convey to viewers that, with Trump, we are always unsure about what we’re supposed to take seriously. He dances for 40 minutes and makes everyone on stage- and everyone at home- uncomfortable, and maybe wondering what the takeaway is supposed to be. He goes on Fox News and spews Hitleresque rhetoric about enemies from within and without, and hints that he isn’t above using the military to silence critics.
What are we supposed to do with this, and why must we put up with it in the first place? How about we take it all seriously and treat it as a warning to be heeded?
LIz Cheney is right– Donald Trump should come nowhere near the Oval Office ever again, in no small part because he’s not a serious person. He’s just a 78-year-old loose cannon with no moral compass who’s trying to stay out of jail.
And Chris Sununu and the rest of the wise-ass shit talkers and gaslighters can walk east ’til their hats float.
