Late show hosts are back after a brief hiatus, and the one thing on everyone's monologuing minds is Trump's bizarre handling of Hurricane Dorian, including Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, and Seth Meyers.
That also includes The Daily Show's Trevor Noah, who was baffled by Trump's statements surrounding Dorian. Primarily, he looked at Trump's claim that he was not sure he had "ever even heard of a Category 5" hurricane — even though four have happened while he's been in office. To demonstrate, Noah ran back-to-back clips of every time Trump previously referred to a Category 5.
Then, Noah noted the backlash against Trump's golfing during the hurricane, and the president being corrected by the National Weather Service for saying Alabama was in Dorian's direct path.
"I know we're used to it by now, but it still amazes me how much the government has to tell you not to pay attention to the president," said Noah, before moving onto Trump's "nuking" solution.
"As president, you should know that nuking a hurricane is a terrible idea, alright? Not only will it not stop the hurricane, but now you have nuclear fallout being spread by 200-mile-an-hour winds. This stuff's going to go everywhere — it's like taking a dump into an open Vitamix, it's not a good idea."
But Noah actually suggested the further Trump is from handling the hurricane, the better.
"Think about it. He doesn't know how big it is, he doesn't know where it's going, and he's got some batshit ideas for stopping it, so I say let the man play his golf, because if we don't there's a good chance Trump ends up nuking Alabama."
