\u201cThe Daily Show\u201d<\/a> host Desi Lydic mocked the Trump administration on Tuesday night for trying to start what she called \u2018Take Your Jesus to Work Day.\u2019<\/p>\n

The joke was made in reference to a new memo sent out by the Trump administration\u2019s Office of Personnel Management encouraging federal workers to talk about their religious beliefs in the workplace. The memo stated that employees\u2019 religious beliefs are protected by the First Amendment, which means they apparently have permission to tell their co-workers to rethink their own beliefs. They must, however, cease doing so if their co-workers tell them to.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cNo. No, absolutely not,\u201d Lydic said in response the memo. \u201cIf you\u2019re going to approach me at work and ask, \u2018Have you heard the good news?\u2019 it better mean there are donuts in the break room. Otherwise, keep it moving, Zachariah!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCan you imagine how humiliating it would be to have your fundamental worldview changed by Susan from Accounting?\u201d Lydic continued. \u201cAnd who would have the balls to convert a co-worker? I don\u2019t even feel comfortable telling my co-worker she should get bangs!\u201d<\/p>\n

You can watch the full \u201cDaily Show\u201d segment in the video, below.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in her Tuesday \u201cDaily Show\u201d monologue, Lydic took aim at President Trump for his actions during his recent trip to Scotland<\/a>. \u201cTrump is in Scotland right now, seeing as his favorite island destination has been shut down,\u201d Lydic joked, referencing Trump\u2019s ties to deceased child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. \u201cTo be clear, Trump was not just wasting time playing golf. He was also wasting time profiting off golf.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJust a reminder, this man is still the President of the United States,\u201d Lydic told viewers, following a clip of Trump leading the ribbon-cutting ceremony for his new Scottish golf course<\/a>. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot going on in the world, and he\u2019s at a ribbon-cutting ceremony to promote his golf course? Is this his side hustle, or is America his side hustle? Who knows? I have no idea.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re just used to this now, but imagine if, when Obama was in office, he kept flying on Air Force One to open up Pizza Hut-Taco Bell franchises,\u201d Lydic added.<\/p>\n

In addition to opening his new golf course, Trump also finalized a tariff-driven trade deal with the European Union, which is projected to increase the cost of goods in America but may result in what Trump has called a \u201crebate\u201d for certain Americans. \u201cNow, this is the art of the deal. Everyone pays more for everything, and then a few of us maybe get a little bit of our money back,\u201d Lydic remarked. \u201cMan, this guy is always playing 5D hitting-yourself-in-the-balls.\u201d<\/p>\n
