What is the main topic of this episode?
Welcome to the Daily Show. I'm Jordan Klepper. We have a lot to talk about tonight. Trump gets romantic at the worst possible moment. Marco Rubio has the ultimate glow-up. And the White House celebrates Bring Your Elon to Work Day. So, let's get into another installment of the second coming of Donald J. Trump. Yesterday was a busy day at the White House.
How is Trump planning a Gaza takeover?
First, Trump met with the king of Jordan, the country, Jordan. You're not the boss of me, King Abdullah II, okay? Of course, Trump invited the king to discuss his plan to displace two million people and turn Gaza into the Atlantic City of the Middle East, which sounds pretty clear-cut to me, but apparently the nitpickers in the media still have questions.
You said before that the U.S. would buy Gaza, and today you just said we're not going to buy Gaza. We're not going to have to buy. We're not going to buy anything. We're going to have it, and we're going to keep it, and we're going to make sure that there's going to be peace, and there's not going to be any problem, and nobody's going to question it.
There's no problem, and nobody's going to question it? Trump is like a Jedi who doesn't have the force. I'll take Gaza. Nobody's going to question it. Nobody. Is this thing working? Is this thing... Is this... Trump has another plan to convince the haters. A charm offensive.
Oh!
Okay. So it's going to be an ethnic cherishing. I got it. Okay, okay. I mean, how did that start like a Mussolini speech and end as a Boyz II Men song? We will take the land, it will be ours, and we're gonna make love to you. Like you want us to, and I'll hold it tight, baby, all through the night.
Why is Elon Musk involved in the government?
One thing I find weird about Donald Trump saying he wants to run Gaza is that from what we've seen so far, he barely wants to run the United States. For weeks, people have been raising alarms about how Trump seems to be handing way too much power over to Elon Musk. And yesterday, Trump replied, I hear you. You want me to give more power to Elon Musk.
President Trump setting new guidelines for hiring in the federal workforce, while giving more power to Elon Musk and his team at the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. A new executive order directs government agencies to pursue large-scale cuts, saying they now need hiring approval from DOGE.
Yes, Elon Musk is now in charge of all government hilings, hirings, hirings. I didn't... Sorry. I didn't say that right. Right. I didn't say it right.
Yeah, okay. Okay. Sorry.
I don't know why I keep Hitler. Misspeaking. I don't know why I keep misspeaking. So this was already a pretty unusual thing for a president to do. But Trump being Trump, he had to make it even more ridiculous by introducing it with a full-on circus act in the Oval Office. And look at this scene. Musk is holding court with his hands tented like a Bond villain, probably to stop him from doing a Nazi salute. With his... With his four-year-old child in tow. I mean, that poor kid. His dad literally runs SpaceX, and Elon took him to a meeting on federal spending. Dad, are we gonna get to see the rockets? No, son, we're gonna discuss budgets because I'm a shitty dad. I mean, everything about this event was so bizarre. Trump was sitting quietly for half an hour, retreating to his happy place, thinking about Arnold Palmer's giant doge. And who thought cloning Stephen Miller was a good idea? I mean, is it for spare parts? I mean, they look like a before and even more before picture. Okay? I mean... Okay, but all right.
