Stephen Colbert slammed it. Now it's Trevor Noah's turn.
Just days after The Daily Show skewered Donald Trump's child separation policy, on Wednesday night, Noah called BS on Trump's new executive order to halt the separation of migrant families crossing the U.S. border.
The order, signed after immense pressure and public outrage, essentially changes, but doesn't fix, the humanitarian crisis Trump's own administration created. "Trump right now is if Superman threw a meteor at the Earth and then stopped it himself," said Noah. "Everyone'd be like, 'Thanks, I guess?'"
Remember, the order simply halts the separation of migrant families at the border — it details absolutely no plans to reunite more than 2,000 children with their parents. Plus, the order maintains that while families will no longer be separated, they could possibly be detained together indefinitely.
Noah also pointed out that when the White House released the order text, the administration spelled the word "separation" incorrectly. "Guys, this is America. Speak English!" Noah quipped.
