“Daily Show” host Jon Stewart on Monday said President Donald Trump is making his closing arguments on the campaign trail ahead of next week’s midterm elections.
“I imagine the president will be laser-focused on the issues that matter most,” Stewart said, followed by clips of Trump talking about how impressed he was by Sen. Jon Husted’s (R-Ohio) ass.
“I looked at his ass, and I’ve never done that with a man before,” Trump said, the latest in a string of unfiltered comments about men’s bodies. “His ass was like a big piece of muscle.”
Stewart offered an immediate fact check.
“It’s not like a big piece of muscle. It is literally a big piece of muscle. That is what an ass is,” he pointed out.
But Trump wasn’t done with his booty business yet. Days later, he also complimented MAGA-supporting rapper Nicki Minaj’s rear as “one hell of a beautiful ass” and even asked her to stand up in the audience.

“That’s hard to miss,” Trump said.
Stewart was stunned into 15 seconds of silence.
“How the fuck is this real?” he finally asked, then showed an image of Trump standing behind Minaj, eyes glancing down.
“Look at him. He’s transfixed. He’s staring at her ass,” Stewart said. “He’s like Yogi Bear floating towards a pie on a windowsill.”
He also played a clip of Trump celebrating oil profits as Americans pay the price at the gas pump.
“The United States’ oil and gas business is making hundreds of billions of dollars,” Trump said.
“The closing argument for the Republicans appears to be, ‘I like big butts, and why can’t you just be happy for Big Oil,’” he said.
