Trevor Noah ruthlessly mocks Eric and Donald Trump Jr. over their nepotism self-owns

Trump's children may stop self-owning eventually, but that day is not today. During Wednesday's night's edition of The Daily Show, Trevor Noah broke down the recent bizarre trend of Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. appearing on news shows to moan about nepotism.

"If there was ever an example of people who got opportunities because of their names, it's these two," Noah says. "I mean Donald Trump Jr. just got paid $50,000 to give a speech at a college. If he wasn't Donald Trump's son why else would they be asking him to speak, huh? To share his expertise on bad beards?"

Noah follows this up by running through all the various business events Trump's sons have attended overseas since their dad became president.

"That's right, even with their dad in office, the Trump's are still growing their business in places like India, the Philippines, Indonesia, Uruguay — they're all over the world," Noah says. "It's like The Amazing Race with no running, and no chins."
