As fires continue to burn in Los Angeles, causing thousands of people to lose nearly everything, some Republicans are saying that any financial aid provided to the city by Donald Trump’s second administration should be conditional. And that thoroughly angered Jon Stewart on Monday night.
In giving the latest headlines on the fires, the “Daily Show” host first called out Trump directly, after the president-elect posted a meme of flames burning behind the Hollywood sign — with the sign itself photoshopped to read “Trump was right.”
“Appropriate. Thank you, Mr. President. I’d almost forgotten your penchant for casual cruelty and dickfoolery,” Stewart deadpanned.
