The Daily Show‘s Josh Johnson is taking his first spin behind the hosting desk, and he’s kicked things off with a searing monologue about Donald Trump’s past friendship with convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — and the lengths the president currently appears to be going to distract from the story, releasing information about his health and posting about trying to convince Coca-Cola to use real sugar cane in its drinks again.
“This is so insulting. Trump’s treating Americans like a kid you can bribe with a treat. Allow me to demonstrate what Donald Trump is going for here,” says Johnson, producing a can of Coke before taking a long gulp. “Mmm, I don’t care about paedophilia anymore!”
Johnson adds that Trump has also ordered the released of thousands of records on the 1968 assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.. “That’s how bad things are for Trump. His back is against the wall so hard he’s releasing more Black history.”
