In the week since President Donald Trump took office, he's signed 13 executive actions. And though that might read to some as quite a bit for one week, The Daily Show is here to remind us that not all of Trump's executive orders carry much weight.

Take Trump's executive order to build a wall along the Mexican border, for example. Trevor Noah reminds us that although Trump signed the order, Congress still needs to allocate the money needed to fund such a massive undertaking.

"So basically, this is like when a kid makes one of their Christmas lists," he joked. "You can ask Santa for a pony, but unless your parents go spend money at the pony store, your ass ain't getting a baby horse."
