I miss Trevor Noah, he had such a talent to point out the craziness and comedy in the US politics.

[@Shorty_Lickens]

So far the daily show hasnt really given us anyone as talented as Trevor and Jon. But since most shows are on hiatus they have time to go looking.

[@mandelkar]

Me too. I miss him

[@michaelmurphy6195]

Did he die?

[@Shorty_Lickens]

@@michaelmurphy6195No he left the show, was getting bored and needed new stuff to do. It was well before the writers strike.

Hope he went back to Africa, maybe you could join him.

[@AdeleiTeillana]

Still one of my favorites! I love how Trump's suit gradually chances to a dictator's uniform over the course of the video! 😂

[@Daniel-gc9ws]

Dictators removes their political opposition by putting them in jail. And that is what they are trying to do to president Trump Also they rig elections and blame they who exposes it.

[@rdklkje13]

Mine too 😍 And there's another one where the African dictators laugh at Trump for his dictator aspirations, but that's all I recall about it.

[@generaltso6914]

More true today than in 2016!! Hilarious how his uniform keeps getting more lavish and decorated!! Needed this!

[@ErLeuchten]

i missed at least 5 russian medals, for him leaving syria, supporting kimjongun, cutting deals with western european allies, trusting putin more than his own secret service and interfering us/ukrainian relationships.

This was hands down the best segment Trevor Noah's Daily Show produced. Comedy Central should have hired someone else to do the traditional Daily Show (Wilmore, Oliver, Klepper, etc) and given Trevor his own World Daily Show.

The comedy shows were incredible at this time and during the pandemic, it really kept us informed and able to make sense of the insanity that was happening in U.S. politics thanks to 45's daily doses of poisoning lies. Trevor was incredible, and I will always be grateful. I wonder what he will do next.

[@woodrochristopherwood1578]

@pilargonzalez8442 Jon Stewart and Trevor Noah really knew how to make the Daily Show informative. Using comedy to report the news is awesome when you know what is going one and what is a joke.

[@icmman7]

get fired from another platform, low ratings king ya tool

[@MrTubular13]

During the invasion of Iraq, the DS was airing stuff even before the NYT would report on it.

[@archiegarg1958]

lies? like what? amazing economy? secure border? no wars overseas? man, you seem to gather the wrong idea from the show. the show makes disingenuous comparisons and/or outright false statements and poor analytical reasoning.

[@ConstantChaos1]

@yibelula23 I mean its still topical and I hope they are planning a part 2 to cover all the other ways since 2016 that he has gotten more dictatorial (I'm hoping that's why they re-released it not just to keep the channel from dying in the algorithm which shows the studios are getting more desperate)

I knew somewhere very early on in his 2016 campaign, well before he ever got to the White House. …But still I had hoped it might not turn out quite as bad as it did. On the other hand, if he should ever be re-elected to a second term, I feel certain it would be worse than the first time around.
