Obama has fired some jabs at Trump in the run-up to the midterms, resulting in some inevitable backlash from right-wing news pundits — and Jon Stewart has thoughts.
In the Daily Show clip above, the host plays footage of the former president speaking to a crowd about what Trump’s done to the White House.
“There’s gold everywhere, what’s up with the gold?” says Obama. “He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory.”
“Ohh! Barack Obama with an illegal joke strike on an American citizen,” responds Stewart, before playing a montage of Fox anchors getting angry about Obama’s reference to the Cheesecake Factory. “The part of the comparison that bothered you was the Cheesecake Factory part? Not the Saddam Hussein part? The Cheesecake Factory is not an actual factory, you know that? We did not ship Cheesecake jobs to China. What a slap in the face to the hard-working Americans on the cheesecake assembly lines. My pee-paw lost his hand making their skinnylicious avocado tacos.”
