‘The Daily Show’ host Desi Lydic stirs up viewers as she claims 'everyone who works with Trump hates him'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In the latest installment of the ongoing saga surrounding Donald Trump's porn star hush money trial, 'The Daily Show' once again finds itself throwing its weight behind Michael Cohen, albeit with a few caveats.
Host Desi Lydic kicked off Thursday, May 16 night's episode by recapping the day's events and extending some sympathy to Trump's former attorney, as well as to the jurors tasked with enduring the proceedings.
Desi Lydic sets the stage
“Day 18 of Donald Trump’s porn star hush money trial was another star turn for Michael Cohen, former Trump fixer and all of Long Island distilled into one man,” she said.
“Cohen is the linchpin of the government’s case because his testimony directly ties Trump to the falsification of business records, which, remember, is the actual crime here. The ‘porn star hush money’ part is just a little thing we keep saying cause it’s fun," she added.
Turning her attention to Trump's defense attorneys, Lydic highlighted their efforts to discredit Cohen's credibility,“ So for the last few days, Trump’s defense attorneys have been doing their best to make Cohen seem less credible than a Boeing in-flight safety video,” Lydic continued, “and they have a lot to work with.”
Michael Cohen's colorful critiques unveiled
A montage then showcased Cohen's past scathing remarks about Trump from his podcast, "Mea Culpa," including colorful insults such as labeling the former president a "boorish cartoon misogynist" and a "Cheeto-dusted cartoon villain."
“Honestly, I feel bad for the jurors,” the comedian admitted. “As if jury duty isn’t bad enough, now they have to listen to a dude’s podcast? Who is Michael Cohen’s podcast even for? Do the people who hate Trump not have enough content? Is there some guy who’s like, ‘I love MSNBC, but it’s only on 24 hours a day’?”
Lydic concluded the segment titled 'America’s Most Tremendously Wanted' with strong backing for Cohen.
“Look, I get the defense’s argument that you can’t trust Michael Cohen because he hates Donald Trump,” she noted. “But, to be fair, everyone who’s ever worked with Donald Trump hates Donald Trump. At some point, you’ve got to be like, ‘I think it’s Trump.’”
