Want to know what Trump’s thoughts about the VP debate were? Well you can’t, because midway through the debate he was actually busy posting on X (formerly Twitter) about the death of baseball player Pete Rose instead.
“That tweet may seem unrelated to the debate, but Pete Rose was a beloved figure who played for Cincinnati, which is in Ohio, which is next to several swing states, so the calculus here is — actually I’m just kidding, he was bored as shit,” says the Daily Show‘s Michael Kosta in the clip above.
“And seeing this tweet must have been rough for JD Vance. Think about it, that’s like hitting a home run at your little league game, looking to the stands to see your dad’s proud, smiling face, and realising he’s at home, tweeting about the death of Pete Rose.”
