What happened during President Trump’s opening headlines about the government shutdown?
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 Desi Lydic. We've got so much to talk about tonight. The government still hasn't come back from buying cigarettes. Trump tours Japan and manages not to do the accent. And later on in the show, Lucy Dacus. Unfortunately, she said I cannot sing back up. So let's kick things off with the headlines. The government shutdown is on day 28, which is when it sheds its uterine lining. So buckle up, it's gonna be a rough ride. And the longer this goes on, the worse things get. Air traffic controllers are getting exhausted, Americans are about to lose SNAP benefits, and the White House is falling apart. Oh, I'm sorry, what? Oh, that was done on purpose. This is the perfect time for President Trump to meet the moment with his famous deal-making skills and master negotiating to end this shutdown.
President Donald Trump currently on his way to Asia for a high-stakes tour of the region.
OK. Government will be here when you get back, maybe. Boys trip! Let's get into it with our ongoing segment, Trump Meets World.
International humiliation, one after another.
Donald Trump is spending the week in Asia, and today he was in Japan to meet their new prime minister, Sanae Takeichi. She's Japan's first female prime minister. She's also their first Japanese female prime minister, although I'm told in Japan that's not really a big deal. If she were America's first Japanese female prime minister, I mean, come on. Herstory. Anyway, good news. It's already looking like the beginning of a big, beautiful friendship.
In her diplomatic debut as prime minister, Sanae Takeuchi heaped praise on President Trump and vowed to make new investments in the U.S.
Very strong handshake. So if you see any weird bruises on my hand, that's why. Although it's not surprising when a woman has a strong handshake. We build up our strength by clutching our keys between our fingers at night, like a patriarchy Edward Scissorhands. Now, the purpose of Trump's visit was to discuss critical trade agreements and reaffirm our alliances. But first, Donny gets presents.
Takaichi, even at this bilateral meeting, we saw her gift Trump a golf club. She also gifted him a golden golf ball.
Okay, she is a great gift giver. A golf ball covered in gold? That is a combination of two of Trump's favorite things. I mean, how could you even top that? Maybe an Epstein Island made of Lee Greenwoods? And after the gift giving, it was time for some ceremony. So the prime minister showed off her new friend Trump to a gathering of uniformed soldiers. We see here in this solemn moment of respect, two allies totally in sync. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Mr. President, where are you going? Nope, that's the kitchen. Whoops, nope, over here. Mr. Trump, back over here. Hold on. Oopsie daisy. But aside from that one slip up, President Trump did a great job of letting the prime minister walk him from one side of the room to the other.
It kind of makes me wonder if Donald Trump could have a real future as a show dog.
Introducing one of the favorites of tonight's show, the old American beaver hound. He is in the care of expert handlers, Sanae Takeichi. Lively, aggressive, and incredibly horny, the beaver hound is especially popular among rural white families. That's right, and judges tonight will be looking for the hallmarks of a good beaver hound. Strong veneers, griffy cankles. Whoops, it looks like he's wandered away from his handler. That's gonna cost him some points. Okay, he looks like he's back on track now. Excellent form on that turn. The beaver hound's golden mane is glistening. Indeed, and now one final trick. A leap onto the platform and... Nailed it! Wow! What a performance by the old American beaver hound.
Who's a good president? Not you! Not you! Of course, it wouldn't be a Trump trip overseas without a visit to the U.S. troops who are stationed in every country in the world for reasons that are never quite clear.
