Help us Jon Stewart, you're our only hope.

The former Daily Show host, whose retirement immediately plunged the nation into darkness, appeared on David Axelrod's The Axe Files podcast Monday, where he succinctly summarized Donald Trump's hypocrisy (or at least a slice of it) and concerns about Hillary Clinton's campaign.

"The whole idea of political correctness is 'Everybody's so sensitive. Just get over it,'" Stewart said. "Donald Trump couldn't handle us making a joke about him...Graydon Carter did a joke about Donald Trump's hands 25 years ago -- he's still not f*cking over it."

Stewart also called Hillary Clinton "a very bright woman without the courage of her convictions," though he still thinks that she is preferable to Trump.

"But at this point, I would vote for Mr. T over Donald Trump," Stewart said.
