Jon Stewart Tackles Trump’s First 100 Days in Office: ‘I Am So Tired’

by

On the latest installment of “The Daily Show,” Jon Stewart reviewed the key events during President Donald Trump’s initial 100 days in the White House.

At the start of the performance, Stewart seemed absent, but unexpectedly popped up from beneath the stage, sporting a lengthy white beard.

Donald Trump’s presidency has now lasted 100 days, as Stewart expressed in a hoarse tone. ‘I’m drained,’ he added, ‘this country seems to be aging faster than Tom Hanks in Castaway. But this is The Daily Show. I’m Jon Stewart. Tonight, we begin our week-long examination of Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office. Let’s dive right in!

As a passionate movie-goer, I sat there, eagerly waiting for what was next. Suddenly, a captivating video montage graced the screen, showcasing Trump’s first 100 days with a hint of ironic triumph in its soundtrack and visuals. Once it concluded, Jon Stewart, now clean-shaven and full of energy, reappeared on stage.

He laughed and said, ‘I was just teasing,’ referring to his statement about having a white beard. However, let me clarify that tomorrow marks the 100th day of Donald Trump’s second term, and I must say, things are progressing remarkably smoothly.

A video was shown where Trump stated that his second term’s initial 100 days would go down as the “most triumphant 100 days in the annals of our nation.

Take this, Jefferson! Take this, Lincoln! Take this, Roosevelt twins!” Stewart exclaimed excitedly. “Trump’s first 100 days are like if America had achieved both landing on the moon and capturing Bin Laden in the same mission! ‘Did you think you could hide on the moon, Bin Laden? Catch him, team!’ Trump claims that his first 100 days are the most successful in our country’s history. Does anyone have a different perspective to offer?

A series of news segments were shown, highlighting various mistakes made by President Trump during his first 100 days. These included economic instability and confusion, public backlash over Elon Musk’s role in the Department of Government Efficiency, and controversy surrounding national security issues. The segments also pointed out that Trump has the lowest approval rating among presidents in the last 80 years.

Stewart playfully quipped, ‘Well, I’ll leave that one to history, Herbert Hoover!’ Then, he delved into the list of pledges Trump made during his election, many of which have not been fulfilled in his term, particularly on the economic front.

As a movie buff, I then showcased a montage of Trump’s statements where he predicted the economy would “thunder” upon his inauguration and promised to initiate a fresh, Trump-driven economic upsurge.

It seems quite evident that during his term, Donald Trump significantly improved the economy, as Stewart stated, ‘Donald Trump certainly made the economy boom-boom.’ It’s possible that Trump himself feels optimistic because while many people are experiencing economic downturn, there have indeed been some beneficiaries!”

(I tried to maintain the same tone and structure of your original sentence.)

A collection of news clips was played, highlighting several personal economic successes of Trump amidst the downward trend of the global economy. Media outlets reported that Trump’s wealth had significantly increased by more than double within the initial 100 days and that he had sealed a “forty million dollar” licensing agreement with Jeff Bezos for a documentary about Melania Trump.

Stewart commented, ‘Although he’s raking in billions, it seems extravagant to spend $40 million on a documentary. Respectfully, I think PBS produced the entire Ken Burns Civil War series for just $3.5 million. Even ‘Shoah’, another famous documentary, was made for only $3 million. It appears they aimed for four times that amount but got a great deal instead!’

Later on, Stewart delved into Trump’s pledges regarding immigration, such as “the greatest deportation ever,” initiating with “dangerous criminals.” Subsequently, he showcased a news broadcast detailing Trump’s recent deportees, which were shockingly revealed to be “three American children, all U.S. citizens, one of whom is fighting cancer.

Stewart exclaimed in astonishment. “Are you serious? It’s a child with cancer that we’re sending away? It seems Donald Trump is unaware of how the Make-A-Wish Foundation functions, doesn’t he? A sick child’s wish is to have their dream granted.
