‘Donald Trump’ Interrupts The Daily Show to Defend Himself

Donald Trump paid a timely visit to “The Daily Show” yesterday to celebrate his first 100 days in office, and, as Noah said, “his first eighteen-hundred holes played.” Anthony Atamanuik gave Alec Baldwin a run for his money with an impression that’s a bit more flamboyant, and a skin tone that plagiarizes directly from Frito-Lay. He called Trevor Noah “Travis” throughout the segment, explained how the Mexicans will pay for the wall (“they don’t have to pay with money”), and expounded on his philosophy on “tipping”.
The best moment of the segment comes before Trump’s entrance, with Noah delivering a withering deadpan in response to footage of the President defending his wall on CNN by saying, “It will have an effect on human trafficking, it’s a problem that’s probably worse than any time in the history of this world”.
What form will this border-project take? Will it be a wall? A fence? Maybe a blimp? The answers are below.
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
