Daily Show brutally mocks Trumps desperate bid for the Nobel Peace Prize
Donald Trump's anger at not being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize appears to be leading to all sorts of global issues, and the Daily Show's Josh Johnson is here to point out how ridiculous the whole situation is.
"For the last year Donald Trump has been fiending for a Nobel Peace Prize. Like a humanitarian award addict he's tried everything from whining to pretending that he ended eight wars," says Johnson in the clip above. "But the Nobel committee gave the prize to Venezuelan opposition leader, María Corina Machado, and Trump was so butthurt he said that she should give her prize to him. And because that's the stupidest possible thing that could happen, guess what happened?"
Cue a news reel showing Corina Machado presenting her prize to Trump, accompanied with a photo of the U.S. president smiling while holding the plaque.
"Wow. This is one of the saddest images I've seen in months, and I follow one of those hairless cats on Instagram," says Johnson. "You know the medal is only a symbol, right? Like just because I steal A$AP Rocky's wedding ring, doesn't make it so that I'm married to Rihanna."
