Jon Stewart taunts Trump for having a 'front b**t' as he questions results of POTUS' annual physical exam
WASHINGTON, DC: Jon Stewart isn’t buying what the White House is selling when it comes to Donald Trump's latest physical exam, and he’s not holding back.
On the Monday, April 14, episode of 'The Daily Show', the comedian shredded the glowing medical report that painted the 78-year-old president as the picture of health.
In a segment dubbed "How Authoritarian Is We?" the host took aim at what he called a hallmark of authoritarian regimes, the power to distort reality and convince the public to buy into it.
He seemed stunned by the official line that the president is in "excellent health" and more than capable of leading the country, calling the claim hard to believe.
Jon Stewart rips Donald Trump's glowing medical report
"No. I’m gonna say no to either of those numbers," Jon Stewart said with a raised eyebrow, clearly skeptical after seeing a clip that claimed Donald Trump stood tall at 6 ft 3 in and weighed 224 pounds.
"I don’t wanna be that guy but… he has a front b**t," he said, barely able to contain his laughter. "I mean, it’s fine, you can have it, but what’s with ‘He was forged by Hephaestus?’ No!"
Stewart couldn’t resist poking fun, sarcastically wondering what makes Trump such a "medical marvel." For answers, he rolled a clip of a Fox News correspondent suggesting with a straight face that it’s all thanks to Trump’s great sense of humor.
"Sense of humor decreases stress? Keeps you young looking?" the host asked, raising an eyebrow in disbelief. "If I may, just for Schnicks, offer the counterargument?" he quipped.
Stewart didn’t hold back his skepticism when it came to the president’s cognitive test, casting doubt on the reported score of 30 out of 30.
Internet in stitches as Jon Stewart jokes about Donald Trump’s having a 'front b**t'
Jon Stewart's bit questioning Donald Trump's health report, particularly his weight, immediately blew up online, sparking a wave of reactions.
One wrote, “This is what I know. The felon is not 224 pounds. I know it and you know it. So if you can lie about that, you best believe that exam is bogus," and another said, “He’s shaped like chewed bubble gum…but not anywhere close to 226 pounds of it.”
A person quipped, “Tell me again he’s 224 lbs? LOL,” whereas someone else added, “Lol 0% chance he's actually 224.”
Others took shots at the credibility of the medical report itself, with one writing, “His secret to being a 'medical marvel' is that, just like last time, he wrote the report himself before he even took the physical." “The doctors don’t want to get sued," another person quipped.
"If Trump is 224lbs. then I am an Olympic caliber Chinese acrobat," another comment read.
