Samantha Bee opened her show on Wednesday with a massive eye-roll at Donald Trump's proposed federal budget cuts. The "hard power budget" guts energy, the EPA, education, etc.

"Our President doesn't give a shit," Bee said.

Bee pointed out that Trump is falling out of favor to the point that members of his own party don't support the budget (Sen. Lindsey Graham called it "Dead on arrival).

The episode also goes in on counterterrorism analyst (there's some excellent eye-rolling there too) Dr. Sebastian L. v Gorka, the "Trump Whisperer" the President frequently watches on Fox News (along with the rest of its lineup). Bee called Gorka "Jean-Claude Van Dumb" and scrutinized his questionable qualifications for the job of counterterrorism.
