We're 100 days into Donald Trump's second presidency, and Jon Stewart thinks it's time for a review of how things are going so far.
In the Daily Show clip above he gives his blunt opinion on what Trump said while running versus what he's actually delivered, from his promises about the now-tanking economy to his promises about swiftly ending wars. Ultimately, Stewart concludes that his main issue is one of arrogance.
"His negotiating skills aren't the real danger to this country. What's gonna f*** us up is his obsession with the concept of the leverage he has," says Stewart. "You don't have the leverage. That's the key misunderstanding here. Trump is so arrogant. He thinks the leverage is his. It's ours. We, the people. It took the people 250 years of striving to live up to a constitutional republic and rule of law, painstaking equity that you are squandering. That is the crux of American exceptionalism. You just want to make us great. That's a downgrade. Our brand is not strategic uncertainty."
