Jon Stewart on Trump: "We put our d*ck in the toaster and we're all waiting to see what happens"



Stewart was back on that same stage Tuesday night. This time, he was there to reflect on our collective first year of President Trump. “What happened?” he asked innocently after joking that he had “blacked out” after last year’s Election Day. “Did my candidate win?”

“That’s really, I think, where our country is at right now. We put our dick in the toaster and we’re all waiting to see what happens. What the fuck, man?”

“I understand the people that felt like the forgotten man, or, this guy talks straight talk, so I’m going to vote for him,” Stewart said. What he doesn’t understand is the 10-15 percent Barack Obama voters who then voted for Donald Trump. “How does that happen?”

He imagined their mind-set: “You know who I want to vote for is that very staid, professorial gentleman from Kenyan birth who has an articulate sense and is a bit standoffish, that’s the guy that I really love. But since he’s not running this year… I’m gonna check out the ‘grab ‘em by the pussy’ candidate.”
