Jon Stewart responds to Trump banning CNN from the White House

Donald Trump recently issued a White House ban on several news outlets, including CNN, MS NOW, and Politico — and Jon Stewart has thoughts.

In the Daily Show clip above, the host reacts to footage of the president saying “there’s something wrong with a country that can allow people to write purposely negative stories.”

“Have you tried presidenting better?” responds Stewart. “You could ban the press, or you could be a better f***ing president? I mean, give the press something to work with. I mean here’s a positive story: I never thought my car could take $140 worth of gas in such a small tank! I had no idea. Hurrah.

“And not for nothing, have we ever had a president just flat out in the Oval Office come out against the Constitution? What kind of a sick country doesn’t allow unlimited warrantless search and seizure? I mean, that’s not the North Korea I grew up in.”
