Jon Stewart says Trump behaving like ‘reverse Oprah’ over his plan to accept $400M jet gift from Qatar

RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA: Jon Stewart didn’t hold back in his latest 'Daily Show' segment, unloading on President Donald Trump after it was revealed that he accepted a $400 million luxury jet from the royal family of Qatar, reports The Guardian.

The gift intended for use during Trump’s presidency and later for his presidential library prompted Stewart to dub him “the reverse Oprah.”

Jon Stewart roasts Trump over Qatar jet gift

“What? Qatar is giving us a plane that Trump gets to keep?” Stewart asked, mockingly. “He’s like the reverse Oprah. I get a jet! And that’s it. I get a jet. For my library!’”

He joked that Trump’s presidential library apparently needs a high-end private aircraft to deliver books across continents in style.

“Why does his library need a jet? Why would your presidential library need - ‘Hello, I’m calling from Europe, and I need a book about Trump, by morning! And the book must travel in the comfort and style one can only get from Qatar.'”

In another clip, the jet’s luxurious features were highlighted including what's said to be the “the biggest master bedroom in the sky as well as some very plush living quarters and several private offices.”

The speaker added, “But hey, it’s a jet from Qatar. We can trust them. They’re not suspect like Canada.”

Beyond the satire, Stewart questioned the implications of accepting such a gift. “Qatar is considered an American ally, but it’s also an ally of Iran, and China, and even Hamas,” he pointed out, warning that geopolitical friendships aren’t always straightforward.

Trump, in his defense, shrugged off concerns, saying, “They’re giving us a free jet. I could say no, no, no, don’t give it to us. I want to pay you $1 billion or $400 million or whatever it is or I could say thank you.”

Stewart responded, “It’s not a free jet. You know the expression ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’? A sandwich! A BLT! Imagine now that the BLT has an engine, nine bathrooms, and funds proxy wars!”
