You know it’s going to be a wild ride when The Daily Show’s Desi Lydic steps up to the mic. On Wednesday, she didn’t hold back, delivering a hilarious yet pointed reminder of Donald Trump’s unique style of leadership – especially in times of crisis.
As wildfires in Los Angeles raged on, causing devastation and loss of life, Trump decided to share his thoughts on social media. Instead of offering support or solutions, he blamed California Governor Gavin Newsom for mismanaging the state’s water resources. He even took it a step further, giving Newsom the nickname “Newscum.” Talk about a classy move, right?
Desi, never one to miss a beat, sarcastically pointed out Trump’s “statesman-like” handling of the situation, quipping, “While everyone else is deeply concerned with what’s going on in Los Angeles right now, Trump is handling the tragedy like the statesman that he is.”
And just when you thought it couldn’t get any more absurd, Desi took a playful jab, saying, “In the midst of chaos, Donald Trump is taking action by opening up the strategic nickname reserves. Thank you, sir.” She then saluted the camera with the perfect blend of sarcasm and humor, leaving the audience in stitches.
It’s clear – Trump’s idea of leadership may be a bit different from what you’d expect, but Desi’s quick wit and sharp commentary never fail to bring a smile to our faces!
