One week ago, Jon Stewart took to The Daily Show on Comedy Central to implore his fellow liberals to choose their fights with President Donald Trump carefully lest they become the boy who cried wolf. However, on Monday’s episode, Stewart appeared to have failed to take his own advice as he labeled Trump “a dick” for removing the T from LGBT on government websites and banning pronouns on government email signatures.
In his usual sarcastic tone, Stewart teed up a clip of a local news reporter, “And two weeks into the Trump presidency, we have a better sense of the evil and powerful forces that have been dragging our once great nation into decline.”
The reporter then recalled how, “The Trump Administration removed transgender references from federal government websites. It now reads ‘LGB’ instead of ‘LGBT.’”
After the booing from the audience subsided, Stewart cued up another clip from a local news anchor, “They have no idea the damage T was doing to our nation. Consonants! Because I think you will agree with me, there is no T in USA. If you spell it out, obviously, that becomes an issue. And if you want a BLT for lunch, things could get ugly. But nothing will stop America's low-T like no T. What other changes are making us great again?”
This time, the anchor reported, “The Trump Administration ordering all gender ideology references be removed, including pronouns, in email signatures.”
Stewart replied, “Oh, yeah. Consonants and pronouns. You are next, prepositions. No more pronouns in email signatures. Good luck signing your emails now, President Xi. Or should I say President Him? Those are just the actions that this president has taken to prove he is still kind of a dick.”
If Stewart wants to stay focused and not get distracted by everything Trump does, attacking him for acknowledging simple biological reality is an odd way to do that.
Here is a transcript for the February 3 show:
