\n\tOn this week\u2019s episode of \u201cThe Daily Show<\/a>,\u201d Jon Stewart<\/a> attacked President Donald Trump<\/a> for his lack of focus amid the United States\u2019 war with Iran.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYou know, honestly, his leering behavior is less \u2018Commander-in-Chief at war,\u2019 and more \u2018grandpa who\u2019s lost his filter in public,\u2019\u201d Stewart joked of Trump\u2019s recent demeanor. \u201cInstead of assuaging a nervous nation, he\u2019s just embarrassing the whole family at dinner, going, \u2018Hey, do you see our waitress is a busty one! Just like your grandma was.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tRegardless of how Trump acts, the late-night pundit asserted that the president\u2019s \u201cloyal henchman\u201d will do everything they can to \u201cassure you that it\u2019s really the opposite of everything you\u2019re seeing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tStewart then cut to a clip of Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at the Conservative Political Action Conference over the weekend. During his on-stage interview, he said Trump has \u201cencyclopedic, molecular knowledge,\u201d and recalled a time when the president drew a \u201cperfect map\u201d of the Middle East on a placemat and \u201cput the troop strength of every country on every border on that map.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHas anyone thought about filming that? Let us see that,\u201d Stewart said. \u201cBecause that\u2019s not what we see. What we see is a president four weeks into a war he has yet to fully explain, with objectives he has yet to fully define, only displaying molecular knowledge in a cabinet meeting of his own pen preferences.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe show then cut to a clip of Trump at a cabinet meeting regaling his administration about the time he was handing out \u201c$1,000 pens\u201d to his supporters.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThey were $1,000 a piece, beautiful pen, ballpoint, $1,000, it was gold, silver, gorgeous,\u201d Trump said in the clip. \u201cBut I\u2019m handing out to kids that don\u2019t even know what the hell\u2014 \u2018What is this, mommy?\u2019 There\u2019s kids, they\u2019re getting a pen for $1,000. They have no idea what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThat is a cabinet meeting during a fucking war,\u201d Stewart exclaimed. \u201cYou know, all we keep hearing from this administration is why the American people have to sacrifice for Trump\u2019s vision of America\u2019s greatness. That these temporary disruptions are just part of the process, and why can\u2019t we be patriots? We have to be patient, we have to suck it up, whether it\u2019s high gas prices or whimsical tariff inflation or draconian I.C.E. raids or temporary bill of rights suspensions. It\u2019s on us to understand, but Trump gets to be his same old, \u2018Ain\u2019t I a stinker,\u2019 utterly self-absorbed, \u2018Remember when I used to want to fuck hot girls\u2019 self.\u201d<\/p>\n
