You're listening to Comedy Central.
From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central, it's America's only source for news. This is The Daily Show with your host, Desi Lydon.
I'm Dendi Lydic. We've got so much to talk about tonight. The government's still leaving us on read. South Korea holds a Yes King rally for Trump, and Democrats can't stop cucking themselves. But first, Trump continues to eat, pray, love his way through Asia. So let's get into it with another installment of Trump Meets World.
International humiliation, one after another.
Today, Trump was in South Korea, where he was dismayed to learn that the hot demon hunter babes are, in fact, not real people. But don't worry, he still got a warm welcome, and the South Koreans even honored our rich American heritage.
Overnight, President Trump touching down in South Korea, greeted with the YMCA on the tarmac.
Unbelievable. The village people must be so proud that their song became America's official presidential anthem. To think, when they wrote it, they just wanted to make a jaunty tune about getting railed at the gym.
But this is how it's been at every stop on the trip. Trump arrives, they throw a big party for him, then they immediately try to buy his affection with gifts. So South Korea, what do you got?
Korean President Lee lavishing Trump with gifts, including a replica of a golden crown.
We present this old crown to you on this joyous occasion of your state visit to Gyeongju.
Wow, a golden crown. What a lovely, thoughtful gift for our president. South Korea, can I just talk to you over here real quick? Hey, South Korea, what the are you doing?
All right, we have been trying real hard over here to gently steer our president away from the whole king thing. And then you come along all, hey, President Trump, check out this cool crown. Try it on. Take it home with you. Not helping. Please, just give him a sack of money like a normal country and stop up our shit.
Everything's great. We were just having a little chat. Anyway, while Trump is collecting more items for his dress-up bin back at home, the government shutdown has stretched to day 29, or what we think is 29. The guy who counts the days has been furloughed. Now, so far, many Americans have been insulated from the worst effects of the shutdown. The airports are mostly still running, Social Security checks are still going out, and the FBI will still kick down your door if you even think about copying a VHS tape. But two days from now, a lot of people are about to feel the shutdown in a big way.
What happened at President Trump's state visit to South Korea and why was he greeted with 'YMCA' and a golden crown?
Snap Food Assistance, a lifeline for roughly 42 million now set to run out of money by the end of the week.
Food banks already stretched to the limit are seeing even longer lines. A food crisis some experts say could be the worst since the Great Depression, all because of the government shutdown. Come on, are you serious? On top of everything Americans are dealing with, now people might lose their food? Not food, that's our favorite thing to stress eat. But okay, no need to worry. We have a whole government whose job it is to keep its citizens fed. I'm sure there's something they can do at this point.
There's, you know, there's nothing we can do at this point. Trump has done all he can to minimize it, but there's nothing else he can do. The Trump administration has done its best to try to minimize these hardships, but ultimately it starts to run out of funds and run up against the bounds of law, and there's really nothing more they can do.
This is a national safety net, and you're talking about it like it's a return after 30 days. Oh, sorry the pants gave you a camel toe. There's nothing we can do.
So according to the Trump administration, the only way to keep SNAP funded is for Democrats to end the shutdown. And sure, I get why they want people to think that. But what's interesting is that when the Trump administration needed to find funding to pay the troops, they shifted money around and they found it. Hell, they even got help from one of their billionaire friends.
