Jon Stewart Jokes That Donald Trump Is on Psychedelics After ‘Weird as S—‘ Bill Signing: ‘Have You Ever Really Looked at Your Signature, on Weed?’

Or they haven’t seen half baked , on weed.

I've sucked d*** for coke, you ever suck d*** for weed?

Debatably one of the greatest movies of alll time, on weed.

RED TEAM GO! RED TEAM GO!

30 year old callback that fell flat.

I’ve been wondering

It’s a reference to his character in half baked and it’s beautiful.

Huh? It’s comedy, that’s kinda the whole point… also making a joke ABOUT trump’s cognitive decline doesn’t distract from it at all, in fact it’s the whole point- the joke only works because the audience at home already knows trump is losing his marbles. It’s not normalizing the US having a senile president - it’s normalizing public discourse about it by implying that the general public/audience of the show all share that common understanding. Honestly, if I’m turning on a comedy show at the end of my day, I’d be so annoyed to hear a straight up news report. Not the time and place, and I doubt the reporting would be very good. That’s what I read my newspapers for! Truly just because the US govt is absurd and steering towards self destruction does NOT mean it’s illegal to have a giggle about it

It’s on COMEDY CENTRAL.

I'm sure he said this then immediately pivoted to a more serious take on it, that's his style. Article doing the sanewashing

Him and all the late night hosts especially Kimmel. All this joking about shit we should be taking seriously.

Jon Stewart has done more to bring issues to light than most politicians. John Oliver moreso.

Satire aimed at those in power stretches back thousands of years.

Sorry that you don’t get it

Imagine being this bent out of shape over a show on a network called Comedy Central.

I personally dont think jokes numb people to the administration… Audiences DO know they’ve put on a comedy show after all. Being able to laugh about it all & take it seriously/be politically engaged isnt mutually exclusive. Also the topics comedians choose to talk about tell viewers who the show’s audience is supposed to be. Hearing a joke like this implies to the viewer that the situation is so dire that there is a general consensus about it, and I think that’s powerful! If trumps cognitive decline wasnt taken seriously, nobody would bother to even joke about it. But I can tell that it is, and I can infer that the general public is not happy about it, through popular culture including satire!

I guess cancel the daily show then. 

Agreed

I doubt that Trump would dare to do them. Guys with ego problems usually don't.

Go watch Half Baked.
