Trevor Noah calls out Trump's latest misleading comments on coronavirus

Another day, another Daily Show monologue straight from Trevor Noah's couch. Not to mention another healthy dose of highly frustrated criticism aimed at Donald Trump.

In the clip above, Noah plays a clip of the president talking about a coronavirus treatment drug that he says will be made available "almost immediately" — followed by a clip of FDA commissioner Dr Stephen Hahn heavily caveating Trump's words.

"If I could cover my face with my hands, I would," says Noah. "Because this is the most embarrassing thing ever. The FDA commissioner openly called the president out for making this shit up.

"That's so embarrassing. He said it and then the guy's like 'No, that's not the truth.'"

Noah rounds things off with a quick video chat with his colleague Jaboukie Young-White, who is kind enough to offer to help Noah — who he clearly views as being in the "elderly" category — with his groceries. Noah is unimpressed.
