Jon Stewart left people in splits as he weighed in on the Presidential Elections at David Axlerod’s The Axe Files.
The witty, outspoken former host of the Daily Show amused the audience with his witty remarks, referring to Republican frontrunner Donald Trump as a ‘man-baby’, and calling out Hilary Clinton for being inauthentic.
The Presidential Elections in America have been nothing short of entertaining with comical characters like Ted Cruz, Trump and Ben Carson.
But when Jon Stewart weighed in, people struggled to catch their breaths after laughing.
Donald Trump has the physical countenance of a man and the hands and temperament of a baby. I’d rather vote for Mr T than Donald Trump, retorted Stewart, eliciting roars of laughter from the crowd.
Known for his tasteful approach to humour, Jon Stewart seamlessly balanced satire with insight and facts.
Stewart expressed his concern about Trump’s tactic of fear mongering among the American public for which he has been called fascist, racist, sexist and Islamaphobic.
Asked about Democratic Front Runner Hillary Clinton, Stewart called her a ‘bright woman without the courage of her convictions.’
His comments were reflective of the general consensus about the former Secretary of State which is that she lacks authenticity. While she has been trolled severely on social media for her pathetic attempts to seem hip and cool to attract younger voters.
