Jon Stewart on President-elect Trump, hypocrisy in America

- After Jon Stewart left "The Daily Show" last summer, much of the presidential campaign went on without his unique and satirical point of view. Charlie Rose met with Stewart to discuss his new book about the more than 16 years he spent at the Comedy Central program. Stewart was quick to give his post-election analysis.
Seriously, Jon Stewart just gets it. I would vote so hard for that guy if he ever ran for president...
sh09un1 typical libtard
I don't like his opinions or his ideology, but I do think he understands a large group of Americans right now. I think he's honest and believes what he says, even when he was on The Daily Show and making a comedy of it, he was still saying what he believed to be true. For that I respect him, but I think he's plain out wrong in many ways.
It's funny how people feel like anyone with intelligence "thinks they're above everyone" or they're "elitists". It's OK to realize that other people are smarter than you. Intelligence should not be considered a negative trait.
DeeDubb think about it, what did this guy get well known for? being funny
This is the point behind politics too. Voting people in who know more than you, who have studied so they can make the right decisions. Unfortunately it's more of a pissing competition nowadays.
Jon Stewart has always had that logical voice sense. He sees the whole picture of things because he isn't an idiot.
Jon said that he would leave the country if trump was elected. But like all the other liberal crybabies, he didn't . so who is the hypocrite now?
getting paid to make a funny face is a smart idea to me
Liberals shouldn't leave the country. They're needed to take the country back!
Please think for yourself.......TV brings melted minds....
Liberals are hypocrites and so is Jon
"We have a tendency to grant amnesty to people that we agree with and to overly demonize people we don‘t."
- Jon Stewart, on the Rachel Maddow Show 11/19/10
I miss him.
He's guilty of it too.
jeffw1267 I was just going to say that. They’re all hypocrites
jeffw1267 Note he said 'we.'
Has he denied this? From a comedian standpoint, he beats his points hard.
From a political standpoint. He brings light to hipocracy and partisandship.
100
Why? Old comment but look where John is now. He’s just like them. He’s so anti conservative it’s gross. Childish.
Jon Stewart at many times could have grabbed onto the bait that was being thrown out at him. I respect that dude so much for stating his own thoughts and never going for the low hanging fruit.
and this is why i hold Jon Stewart in higher respect than Trevor Noah, Stephen Colbert, or John Oliver*. while those three are pulling their hair out wondering what went wrong, Jon at least tries to look at the situation realistically.
i mean, to be honest: this is the man who taught us to always be on the alert for bullshit.
*note: i do still respect these three as humorous intellectuals, i just have hang-ups with each one.
Care to explain how?
"explain how" what? i'm re-reading my comment trying to figure out where you're confused.
Well Drive *their
Your presumption that "the audience" is being manipulated is just that. One without any justification.
1. sonic i believe eddie was talking to PK.
2. i agree jon was awsome and i wish i was able to enjoy him sooner but once i heard he was leaving i gave up on comedy central they went waaaayy to far left like crazy i understand but jon even tho it was a given he was still a fair guy. i miss him and wish him the best
Whether I agree with him or not, at least he can make a coherent and intelligent point.
I wouldn't say coherent. Good luck though.
Sharkbiteleft What part was difficult for you to follow?
+Sharkbiteleft It's very coherent. The left has slowly started to become what it's traditionally stood against: hatred of the other side. Both sides have been at each other's throats since the election.
Martin Luther King wrote:
"Time is cluttered with wreckage of communities which surrendered to hatred and violence. For the salvation of our nation or mankind, we must follow another way."
"Our most bitter opponents we say: "We shall match your capacity to inflict suffering by our capacity to endure suffering. We shall meet your physical force with soul force. Do to us what you will, and we shall continue to love you."
The Left needs to return to what it once was.
A-freaking-MEN. I used to consider myself a liberal, but the 'left' has become as intolerant as the 'right'. They are truly the regressive left nowadays. Their SJWs are the tipping point, really. They have strangled Free Speech in this country.
I really don't care whether people belong to left or right as long as they don't practice any sort of discrimination.
The biggest facepalm is that out of 300 million ppl USA couldn't bring forth better presidential candidates.
Bernie is shit
you're* an idiot sorry to say.....
max howard, you are such a racist piece of shit.
Jn Mc you need a monster to destroy a demon.
Thanks for letting me know that I don't know what it's like to be poor! I always thought the money in my bank account and in my wallet told me that I was poor, when all along I should of been looking at my skin color! I'll have to let my black neighbors know that I'm better off than them, since all of us live in Gary, Indiana! I thought it was the fact that I have to put paying off my basic bills from one week to another, because I didn't have money to pay them, or the fact I didn't eat the 1 meal a day that I usually get. Or the fact that when the money is gone, all I have to eat for a week I is Ramen noodles, or may be the fact that I drive a 25 year old vehicle, that when it breaks because I can't pay someone to do it. Damned white privilege!
I really like Jon's optimism and sound reasoning. It is June 2020, and I have none of those things left.
Don’t worry Orange man almost gone
I’m sending this comment back in time: wait for January!
How we feeling
I can appreciate what Jon says about his buddies who voted for Trump. Just because you voted for Trump doesn't make you racist misogynist xenophobe. But it DOES mean that those things aren't a dealbreaker for you in your president.
oh stfu crybaby
You can cry with him too, lapdog. Lmfao
sort of like saying that lying, treason, backstabbing, cheating, ineptness, etc... are not a dealbreaker for people who voted for Hillary?
calling a spade a spade is not whining.. so now expressing a thought you don't like is whining? you trump supporters are sheer idiots and all you cared about was being able to spout your hatred of others cause your life sucks. your life sucks because of you not anybody else
Exactly. Like, yes you might not be a racist, but you have demonstrated that you are willing to turn a blind eye to racist rhetoric in order to achieve your political means, and I feel like that's not very much better.
Jon Stewart, you are one of wisest people I know. I hope to hear from you more in the future.
+robert retka How is he not wise ?
+Tsain not really . John is already wise the guy is just saying the wiser you are the less wiser he will seem which is probably the most stupid obvious thing
Matt Macken wise my ass, isn't he leaving the country? go on git
He's a has been and a shill, and he's going down along with the entire fake propaganda industry.
Jon Stewart, in case you are still trying to find out, people who voted for Trump is because they wanted to 'protect' and 'preserve' the U.S. Constitution and the sovereignty of this Nation. It is that simple.
The Globalists have hijacked the Democratic party in a plot to transform America, which would mean the ultimate destruction of the founding principles of this Nation!
"The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it." -George Bernard Shaw
well said
.. the beauty of truth & humor is that its timeless. Dont love politics but I love the ideals America Jon describes.. miss these "simpler" times ...
Can you think for yourself???
I always liked Stewart- Don't agree with him politically but I thought he had the funniest show BY FAR. And, he was very reasonable in this.
Voice of REASON right? I miss him EVERYDAY
"Don't agree with him politically"? What does that even mean? So are you one of those people that think that because he is not a politician that he's somehow wanting in his assessments and views in that arena.
He and Colbert are THEE most pragmatic, objective, INFORMED, and talented comedians bar none!
And ideally, that's what you want from an actual politician. (I can think of one but you would just balk at the suggestion) Anyway, I also think John Oliver, Seth Myers and Trevor Noah are nipping at their heels with their insights as well. =)
Anthony Wayne - Ignorant response.
Samuel Luria. At least I gave reasons for mine, whats your excuse? Do you think your comment just made you sound intelligent? LMAO
Anthony Wayne if you actually look at who backs the majority of them you’ll change your opinion on how pragmatic they are you can by all means think they’re correct but they are by no means being pragmatic
Bernie Sanders for president Jon Stewart for vice president who's with me?
Is that you, Bannon?
chris twoodyhussar no one
chris twoodyhussar absolutely no one with a brain you toddler.
And somebody who's not a racist chimpanzee finger blaster, like Bill Burr, for cabinet.
Bernout, please.
And no one asked the Democrats what they were "progressing " toward.
Racist classism and division. Equal outcomes at all costs. Squashing economic prosperity in the name of authoritarian control over markets.
Non-existence.
With Clinton and Soros leading the way? That sounds more like third party ideas than what the corrupt democrats were actually doing.
The democratic establishment openly admits they are not progressives.
dlancer2k
Don't go YT search "Hillary saying she is progressive." Reality might slap you in the nuts.
This was remarkably insightful
One misses the clear, concise, sharp honest Jon Stewart.
I Used to be a Die Hard Democrat. Worked on local and national campaigns. I left the party because I was made aware that the Leaders Didn't really want to bring Americans together but instead fueled Racism so as to keep minorities registered Democrat. I pray for the day when there will be as many Minority Republicans as Democrats and that Americans will vote on the Issues, etc. and not just on Race.
Well said, one of the few posts in this comment section with some actual substance.
Sadly, what you wish for probably won't come true anytime soon... just look at all the comments from deaf-blind members of both "sides" in here, democrats and republicans alike... they spout the usual conspiracy theories, comment without even watching the video and listening to what Jon Stewart said, some just come here to say that his opinion "doesn't matter shit" despite it mattering a hell of a lot more than the opinion of any of these random people no one has ever heard of...
It's just downright sad seeing so many people who seem completely unable to see the world in anything but black and white, and will hate anything and anyone who doesn't share their opinion without question.
Sad... ironicly, the word that Donald Trump liked to put at the end of his tweets is the perfect one to describe all this.
I can already see Trumps first State of the Union adress... he comes on stage, looks into the camera, says "Sad.", shrugs and walks off.
I agree
+Marcel Ebert I agree we have a long way to go before we can get back.
Martin Sage Wouldn't a better outcome be us moving past this 2-party system altogether? It seems like it breeds the very tribalism Jon Stewart talks about in this video. We become too focused on putting down or defeating "the other side", instead of working on solutions that would benefit us all, considering we all have to live on this planet. There are things that a majority of us agree on (reasonable gun control measures, like background checks for example), but nothing gets done because of our broken system of government.
I'm actually legitimately interested in getting your thoughts on this.
Tre' Jones great comment Tre'. You're view is literally the same as mine. Partisan gridlock is the biggest issue with American politics. People will vote for someone or some law simply because of their party without doing any research.
Come back, Jon Stewart. The world needs you.
xfrancescanicolex The Daily Show certainly does...
+
we also need.....Christopher Hitchens and George Carlin, RIP
xfrancescanicolex too late.
Jon Stewart 2020.
I miss Jon's voice of reason and intelligent reading of events.
Voice of reason? Jake Tapper is a voice of reason. Jon Stewart is fully up the liberal rectum.
thats incredible cam you must have watched this video and not listened to a single thing he just said everything he just said should have been the monologue for every head news reporter in the country it was incredibly unbiased and insightful. and intelligent clearly you weren't listening you would have learned something about who we are and why this election is just another point in history to reflect on. as we wage a battle against ourselves and each other
He complains about every little thing that Republicans (Romney, McCain) do, but worshiped almost everything Obama did. He was biased propaganda much like MSNBC and Fox (faux) News. Same with Meyers, Colbert, Samantha Bee, etc. CNN is better and is unbiased.
cameroncrazie818 he is a comedian and he made fun of everyone. He said that he was not happy with the obama presidency
I miss integrity. And I guess he was the last one to own it.
john stewart always makes me feel better
Everyone who voted for Trump is not a racist. BUT they proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that being a racist wasn't a deal breaker as far as who they threw their weight behind.
And that shit is depressing.
MRWorldGuy BWAHAHAHA...yes, his own RECORDED WORDS were 'lies'...good luck with THOSE mental gymnastics, idiot...
BEYOND hilarious.
+Karstens Creations racism is one of the many terrible things they accepted. it's ironic that all the things they accuse clinton of being, trump is the same and worse. anyway, i'm not depressed since i never underestimated the stupidity of the american public.
AvengeVoltaire A shame that is all slander, NONE true.
Snopes is your friend.
FOX News...not so much.
www.snopes.com/
+Karstens Creations You think everything AvengeVoltaire pointed out is false slander? Lol.Textbook denial.
Adeon55 'Textbook denial'
SEE: irony
I bother to fact check, you VERY obviously do not.
Snopes verifies every single thing that was mentioned as slanderous and untrue...choose to ignore it, if you like, as you CANNOT provide a single link that shows anything that was claimed as reality.
ALL.
SLANDER.
The only thing you accomplish by being too lazy to verify things is exposing yourself as a fool.
Does anyone else think he looks like Geralt of Rivia?
Finally a good comment
David Jones a little thinner, but aye
wow he does look like the butcher of blaviken
I was thinking more Rick Grimes from the Walking Dead (at least on the thumb nail image)
No. He looks like and IS a douchebag.
"Right" or "Left" among us. Jon's the man. And he's speaking some hot truth here.
This is a brilliant interview. I think I'll be coming back to it for years to come whenever I feel frustrated with the state of the country.
Yeah America isn't fundamentally a different country with all its grace, flaws, volatility, insecurity, strength, & resilience, but Trump did bring to the surface all the negative things which were buried deep in the collective subconscious mind of White working-class America.
"deep in the collective subconscious mind". How is it you think you have wormed your way into my subconscious?
"collective"
ParticlePhysXAnomaly how is it ok for you to generalize the "white working class" but to generalize literally ANY other group is oppressive, racist, or bigotry? Did you even listen to what he said?
Trump is a direct result of the overwhelming corruption in the DNC. Bernie Sanders would be the president-elect had they not stolen the nomination from him and trotted out one of the worst and most corrupt candidates in American history.
This isnt whites being evil, and dang i dont like that this is a prevailing thought in this country. This all was just the coming forth of fears the regular person living in america faces. One positive though is that this election so opens the discussion of what we feel and why we feel these things
you said you'd move to canada if trump wins..... GET OUT
KilluaXIII don't get your hopes up. They are democrats. They don't stick to their word.
But he's not a democrat
Plenty of anti Obama people were supposed to be leaving the country too..........
Unlike Republicans? You realize there are statistics on this sort of thing right?
www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/
Trump lies more often than not.
KilluaXIII yeah, why doesn't he keep his promise?
He's right. Stewart is speaking truth.
"have you ever seen Donald Trump?" -yaaaa.. "but have you ever seen Donald Trump on WEEEEED maaaan?"
I support Trump and I really like the points Jon Stewart brought up. Great intellectual discussion.
At last. A decent person from the right. Shame more are not on here. Cheers to you and congratulations on the results. Hoping it goes well.
+Dawknee I find it a bit strange when people such as yourself automatically think Trump supporter = right wing, considering Hillary is to the right of him on quite a few issues. Trump is also not a true Republican, he is an opportunist and was a registered Democrat for most of his life.
A significant portion of Trump's support was from Bernie supporters and previous Obama voters.
It's also blatant douchebaggery for you to say "At last. A decent person from the right." implying most are not decent people. I'm a leftist, but this smug and offensive attitude is why Trump won. Most people are very decent, including right-wingers.
Funnily enough, the main reason I started supporting Trump was actually because of the hypocrisy that Jon Stewart brought up here, too.
"Funnily" enough??
I've never heard that before.
I like it!
Of course, funnily enough, I do need to get out more.
So how bad was it that Dems ran Hillary? Do you think she was bad choice? Oh yes, she was a bad choice, geez.
Well Fuck! Jon Stewart for president in 2020
Kanye and Chris Rock are already running. he wouldn't want to split votes
br m so is dwayne the rock johnson
Nothing against Dwayne and Chris, who I like, respect, and enjoy, but none of them (especially Kanye) would have an inkling about government, or have the knowledge of governance and political bullshit that his enemies would try to use against him, nearly so much as Jon. Dwayne and Chris are smart guys, especially Chris, but they don't hold a candle to Jon.
And Kanye is just a boorish, bored sociopath and we already have one of those as a soon-to-be president.
Not to seem racist, he is just who I feel would be the best, most qualified candidate of those mentioned.
I hope they all run! It'd be an easy re-election for trump:)
Me and you riding the same wave, pretty much said the same thing before seeing you comment
I love this man. I miss him so, so much.
I love Jon, how much he loves this country, brings years to my eyes.
I voted for Trump because I wanted to see things "shooken up a bit". He has not disappointed yet!
It will be fun to watch the collegiate "safe spaces" of the American university system boil over, won't it? Amen.
he will be ...
Like how he's not going to shake up ACA or 12 million illegal immigrants? The common man gets fucked again!
Looking at the USA (America is a continent) for across the Atlantic and how it voted for a mysoginist, a man afraid of Mexicans, Afro-Americans and Muslims, a man who has failed in many of his business project, one can only reflect that the political system is broken and it will take men (or women) of the quality of the Founding Fathers to fix it.
Why the fuck do you care about ILLEGAL immigrants?? Fuckin idiot.
Good to see that Jon Stewart already is hard at work campaigning for Trumps second term.
You nailed it.
Camille Saint-Saëns your both delusional crybabies. How's the protests going? Taking a snack break?
Kristian was being ironic Mike, geez, get a grip.
How is that exactly? Could you elaborate?
Michael Beagan
President Trump. Inmate Rodham Clinton.
its crazy how spot on it is right now specifically
Although Johns show was satire, he made us think about truth.
Jon Stewart is a hypocrite.
my coworker is also a hypocrite
Humans are hyprocites and liars. they are also capable of tremendously good things, no?
did you even listen to what he said? he's defending you inbred republicans but you're all still so stupid and blind that you're programmed to hate anything with a blue tie. you probably think there's an invisible man who lives in the clouds too huh.
We're ALL hyporcrites to various degrees. Accept and understand that, and some valuable discourse in this country my begin.
Can you give us an example of his hypocrisy?
Lmao I like how all the Republicans in the comments are like "nobody gives a fuck what you say Jon Stewart!" yet they clicked on the video and it's #1 on trending.
It does seem like an odd way to show that they don't care.
not true. You're making yourself into an example of what he's talking about in terms of hypocracy. I'm a Republican but I still respect what he has to say because he's not screaming and whining about the "racist" republicans. In other words, he's civilized.
Jon isnt a stupid guy but i still disagree with him a lot on even this
I'm Your Huckleberry lmao i wanted her to lose
jmh1189 yeah but some people in this comment are saying some dumb shit I did not say everyone was.
calling a large sections of the population racist, bigot, or hateful doesn't really fix anything and only shows how little you understand
+Tuko Pomwene When they explicitly choose a leader who has a long standing reputation of lying, making racist, sexist, bigoted and hateful sounding statements, why shouldn't their choice of leader not reflect on their own values?
Or are you saying that we shouldn't judge Germans who had no problems with their Jewish neighbors but voted for or went along with the Nazi party?
If the Nazis can't be criticized based on the leader they rallied behind, then Trump's followers cannot be criticized based on the leader they rallied behind. Is that really an argument you want to try defending?
What percentage of support from openly racist white Christian supremacists is required before the candidate, and therefore all of his supporters, can be considered supportive of racism?
I'm guessing it's not a demographic that is measured (except perhaps by Southern Poverty Law Center) but I'd bet that 90%+ of white supremacists, racist organizations, and religious fundamentalists all voted for Trump.
Hillary couldn't even attract 50% support from extreme left-wing Democrats, that's why she lost. Trump probably attracted close to 100% of the extreme right-wing. The candidates statements and plans reflect those of the people who elected them.
I'll turn your position around (something you probably should have done before you posted it) and ask How does not pointing out that large sections of the population chose a leader who uses racist, bigoted and hateful sounding language and advocates racist, bigoted and hateful sounding policies, how does not calling out the association with racism and hate fix anything?
If not talking about it is supposed to "fix" something, what specifically does it fix?
How do things get fixed if they cannot be mentioned by name? Isn't that simply "The Emporer's New Clothes" all over again?
Oh, and in case you think your argument can still stand, I'll toss the nuclear bomb in: "calling a large sections of the population"
Roughly half the eligible voters voted. Trump got less than half the popular votes. That means he got support from less than 25% of eligible voters. Eligible voters. Not citizens, eligible voters. I'd bet if we could measure it, he got support from less than 20% of the US population. Of that 20%, what percentage do you want to bet was white, Christian and holds Christian supremacist views? Half? So the shoe fits maybe 10% of the populace?
So "large sections of the population" is exaggeration. It's not like someone is calling 50% of American voters racist and misogynist bigots, which would clearly be a mistake. Calling 10% of the population, the majority of whom routinely express bigoted, racist or misogynist ideas
In case you still think your argument can stand, you made another implicit argument, so let's turn it around and see how well you field the shot. The Republican leadership and the rank and file Republicans routinely claim that homosexuals are sinful/deviants/unnatural/undesirable/not deserving of equal treatment under the law. This is a matter of historical record, not a spurious accusation.
According to Pew and the Williams Institute surveys, more than 8% of the adult populace (not voters) has engaged in same-sex activity.
So if it's okay for Republicans to day in and day out call those people "unnatural" and equate their acts with pedophilia and beastiality *in spite of* all the available evidence* then why is it not okay for others to call Trump and his supporters racists and bigots *because of* all the available evidence?
Dan Haynes 1. a racist , sexist , hateful person doesn't hire a black women to be his spokesperson, a women to lead his campaign and openly support LGBT community, or marry a foreign immigrant, there are many people from blacks to hispanics that worked for trump that are defending him, can you explain why?
2. If you step out of your little echo chamber for a little while you'll find out that some people voted for trump simply to spite hillary or because they saw her as the greater of two evils. (deceptive, lying, pay to play, ect)
3. lol, will the US become the 4th Reich lets wait and see bro, personally I doubt it, as long as we the populous hold him to account he can't hurt anyone
4. there are less then 5000 KKK members in the US, even if they all voted for trump, they couldn't swing the election in his favor at all, lol, as for the far left, its another tiny minority that couldn't swing any election
5. lol, I can see mainstream media has done job on you lot, I remember allot of people used to love trump and look up to him, but the second he started running for president, boy did they work overtime to find things to attack him with, you don't find this strange?, how about this, most of the major news media's are owned by people with ties to wall street, people that also fund THE CLINTON FOUNDATION, you don't find that strange either?, for the last two months Wikileaks has dumped a truckload of dirt on hillary and the same mainstream media is reluctant to discuss it, they would rather talk about donald trump referring to female genitalia 10 years ago in a disrespectful manner, If you can't read between the lines or see the pattern here then really man I don't know what else to say
Tuko Pomwene
Dude, do you live in a bubble?
1. Racist hire people of color sometimes for the purpose of not wanting to be seen as a racist. And sometimes people of color take jobs with racist because they want a job, aspire to climb forward at any cost, have no morals, and money is their God; therefore, they don't mind working for the devil.
2. Trump and Hillary are the same, both corrupt, no argument there.
3. He placed a white nationalist within the white house, who is an openly racist man, who held him accountable?
4. How do you know how many kkk's are within this country? There are more than just the kkk, there are the Nazi skin heads, the Aryan Brotherhoods, and the Alt right, to name a few that subscript to racist views. Besides that, you don't have to be within a racist group to practice racist ideologies.
5. The fact that his platform was based on hatred, sexium, racism, intolerance, and ignorance are a few reasons people started not liking him. People don't have to work overtime to attack him with things, it has been proven all he has to do is open up his big mouth. Hillary and him are one in the same. And as far as his insulting words referring to women that you say was 10 years ago, perhaps that could be a true statement if his character had changed, yet he's still the same vulgar person who still insults women.
Gidget Hrobowski 1. well that's an assumption no more like mine but you fail to explain why those people give trump a favorable opinion
2.yip you right, I didn't vote for either, but neither deserve to be misrepresented by false or biased representations
3. again if you do your research on Breibart , as many convictions as you'll find, you'll also find allot of contradictions, such as breibart hiring jews and muslims who are openly defending breibart, not the kind of thing you would expect from a white nationalist organisation, more specifically on Bannon, I never liked him but not because his racist
4.Google, even if I were generous they wouldn't exceed 8000,........these guys can barely draw together a crowd big enough to shut down a street, but to make them out to be more powerful then they really are is what's really dangerous
5. I don't mean to trivialize the issue but most men laughed when they heard what trump said 10 years ago because at one point or another we've all said it in the locker room to impress our friends, Trump is vulgar and brutish in his language I'll admit, but the left needs to try and UNDERSTAND why many people wanted to spite the democrats so bad by voting for a clown, if they can't figure this out before 2020 and instead continue with the tirade of insults and smear campaigns then Trump will get re-elected by he same angry people and maybe more.
Again I'll say it again, to alienate a large swath of the population with insults is not gonna win the Democrats the next election, many of these people have no college degrees, are jobless, feel disenfranchised and feel like there country is being taken away from them, patronizing them or insulting them is not gonna fix anything
Tuko Pomwene You didn't not like Bannon because he is racist? That actually says a lot about you.
I was surprised at how insightful he was and didn't just take a pat partisan stance.
Your comment loses all credibility when you call someone out for racism, then turn around and use the word "retarded" as an insult.
He argued against all liberals calling half the country racist. Watch it again; either you didn't watch it the first time, or you didn't understand it.
Speaking of hypocrisy, didn't Jon promise to leave the country if Trump is elected?
Bruce McIntyre Are you a fucking moron? Can you not tell when someone is joking as a coping mechanism, or just for the hell of it?
you would think... someone as smart as him would remember something like that.
Bruce McIntyre mainstream media..and their "jokers" ... good thing is..they are dying out
Oh yes he did! facebook.com/WesternJournalism/photos/a.10150384918003984.375808.123624513983/10154880308358984/?type=3&theater
I wish fear mongering right wingers would die out. All they do is keep spreading bull shit.
who gives a fuck what jon stewart has to say
A lot of people considering he's famous and had a hit show for decades but alright.
Tommy Sands i dont hes a liberal fuck face...
Millions and millions of people.
Tommy Sands my point exactly. He is supposed to be leaving USA
2 people so far gave a fuck about what you have to say, even when it's completely irrelevant
Just reminds you how much we miss Jon Stewart....Thank you for helping bring his voice of sanity back to tv, even if it was for a little while.
A Message from President-Elect Donald J. Trump
"Comments are disabled for this video."
our comedy shows went so far left, I couldn't watch anymore
at least he didn't rile up the left even more
lol
agreed..and Stewart helped Trump win by doing the far left propaganda.
KaosReigns What about the far, Alt-Right propaganda?
Seriously and I still can't. When Conan and the rest can shut the fuck up about the boogeyman Trump or boogeyman Republicans, I will resume watching the shows I miss and used to be funny / not super political left wing propaganda.
If a joke like Trump can get elected, a comedian can. PLEASE JON SAVE US FROM OURSELVES.
your butt must still hurt from the election huh
You can be more creative than that with your shit talking dude lol.
Libby Welling lol Jon isn't capable of running our nation. He's a hack comedian
Pathetic feminized brainwashed sheeple of a man. I can imagine the tears you shed on election night. Our victory is evermore glorious. MAGA!
Trever Noa for president
You're one of the best John steward! 👏
It's said there's a thread of truth in every joke. Jon only needed a thread of humor in speaking truth. 🇺🇲
You know, I will give Trump supporters a chance. Surely they're not all racist and homophobic bigots.....
_looks at comments section_
Nevermind, they totally are.
***** Eh? I'm not bothered by your statements. Googling "42nROck12" shows me that all you do all day every day is go around trolling random comment sections and calling everyone faggot.
I'm not offended, I just feel bad for you.
42nROck12 Hypocrisy at its best
I like how this precedent exists where I can make up bullshit about Trump supporters and get a bunch of likes, sure does make me want to kill myself
+ F*ck Google It's call a joke, smart one.
+Bryan A I feel bad that you are so dense that you didn't get his joke.
Wasn't Jon Stewart the one who whined and complained about Trump getting elected that he was going to move out to Canada if he did get elected?
And Cher said she was moving to Saturn. You do understand sarcasm right?
I didn't know Canada and Saturn were on the same page of sarcasm.
Diego Delavega Stewart never said Canada. He said he'd consider “getting in a rocket and going to another planet, because clearly this planet’s gone bonkers” if Trump won.
Ah...my mistake
b07rivera no he didn't
Charlie Rose, STOP INTERRUPTING LET JON SPEAK
I was looking for this. You're doing an interview, not having a conversation at the dinner table.
Jon Stewart is a such truly good man. I love how bold and upfront and honest he is! You can tell that everything he says comes straight from the heart. I hope he's okay. He looks like he's lost a lot of weight. Be well, Jon
I love how oblivious America is to the rest of the world x'D
Torbax totally
America IS an anomaly.
What you mean, don't you know they are the only republic in the world with ethnic diversity and the fathers of democracy?? LOL.
Torbax it's because you guys don't matter you're basically just a large resource area for us.
Sunsun*
Moreso than any other country. Stop being pedantic.
There should be no hate for Jon Stewart in America! He truly reflects what America wants to be!
Name one celebrity who has paid there "fair share " of taxes!
Seems you take the media as your main diet, not the small supplement that it should be.
What argument? There where statements and questions? What part of Scotland are you from?
Just another yank holding on to his great grandparents history beacause he realises America has as much historical culture as a yoghurt.
Matthew Smith I'm not even American and I find that stupid
Jon Stewart for exile, 2017
Libs being called out by one of their own heroes.
Guess you've found tonight's jerkoff material, neckbeard.
"Libs" aren't all tied to the Democratic Party. Stewart has continously for many years been saying that it's delusional to think that Democrats aren't part of the problem with the system, and they're not as bad as Republicans in taking money from donors etc. (paraphrased quote from the interview with Pelosi)
roasted!
He didn't "call out" jack shit. He simply tried to save face to the sheeple and network morons.
Both parties were called out by him
Why is CBS interviewing a crazed homeless person about politics?
Магомед Гаджиев Because he knows what the fuck he is talking about.
По-русски пиши, э
To an extent
+Ermac Nah lmao
And yet a crazed homeless person is the most reasonable voice out there. Funny how that works.
Thank you Jon Stewart!
I miss you Jon Stewart , we need you !
I don't think all trump supporters are racist. However, they all let us know racism is not a deal breaker for them. Which means they accept it, and will allow it. And racism should not be tolerate in any form, even if that person is saying everything else right.
Diamonds Whaley Both Trump and Hillary have racist supporters, obviously SOME people out of have the entire country are racist, don't act like it's only Trump. HE'S NOT EVEN RACIST
Diamonds Whaley if you keep dismissing trump supporters as racist supporting hicks, then the democrats aren't going to win an election any time soon
Hillary is racist too. And corrupt. What about the countries that give money to her that kill gays and treat women for trash? Are Hillary supporters for that? OF COURSE NOT. But there's more important things than what someone says.
Diamonds Whaley--Well said!
"if you dont agree with me, you're a racist"
--racists
I really do respect Jon, but in this I have to respectfully disagree. While a portion of Trump supporters may not be the type to verbalise racist rhetoric, by voting for him, they inadvertently co-signed everything he did that was racist. In an election that was purely based on policy, I think it's totally understandable to vote for someone even if you don't agree with everything they say; it wasn't the case with this one. Trump's entire campaign depended on his furthering of the 'us vs them' mentality, with the 'them' being Mexicans, Muslims etc.
By contributing to his being elected, you contributed to the validation and emboldening of racist attitudes... one's that were/are very much a part of his 'policies'. So even if you're not the vocal and hateful racist that so many are, you are the type who didn't care about it enough to see that voting for him was voting for that.
PissedFechtmeister pretty sure he did say them, whether or not they were taken out of context to be exaggerated is another story.
Or you could step out of your bubble, stop regurgitating the Democrats talking points, and figure out the rest of the country isn't liberal. Millions of non white American citizens voted for Donald Trump. Your argument is invalid.
ok adolf ok
No evidence for trump being racist yet again. Just assumptions he is all these things.That is called slander in reality. Just stop, read, research, think for yourself instead of preaching the same religious rhetoric it gets old. Yes SJW is basically a religion in itself.
Way to completely miss his entire point.
Wow... Second time I got to this video because somehow I saw "President John J. Sherriden" form Babylon 5 on the Thumbnail. Lol :-) Anyone else having that, too? ;)
powerful interview, very insightful.
Good to hear an adult voice over the screaming seven-year olds that put this joke in power.
Rolling Ormond didn't know 7 year olds could vote, lol.
Good to hear an adult liberal voice that actually brings logic to a discussion rather than screaming racist and fascist.
texas 27 I mean... when you base your entire campaign on hate and fear, then yes, there will be a reaction if he wins lol. It makes sense.
Ever looked at footage of Trump rallies?
probably means the mexican/muslim/crooked media fear spreading
Oh Jon, I miss you. This election would have been great with him covering it, but I can understand him wanting a new stage in life.
Yeah he's entertained us for many years and he wanted to move on he's earned it, Trevor has been doing a great job on TDS, and I have been enjoying john oiler too he's awesome, I would of loved to see Jon Stewart moderate a presidential debate!!!
; I THOUGHT HE WAS ONE OF THE HOLLYWOOD ELITE ASSHOLES THAT WAS MOVING TO CANADA IF TRUMP WON!
+JOE DIRT are you saying that I said that? Because that's not true.
John Stewart is sick. Just look at him. Cancer? Aids? Drugs? Something is going on.
Bobby Spurlock why do you speak like this? How
Would you feel if someone lack of respect to you as you did to him?
I miss sensible rational discourse...
Why does he suddenly look like Tom Hanks in the Philadelphia Story?
Jon is calmly stating his opinion and everyone here is acting nuts. I don't get it.
MarshalGrover I know, he's being neutral but some right wingers can't take criticism because they're pussy's.
_osvaldo_ __ i agree. the left wingers are way more aggressive, violent and hateful.
People disagree with opinions. Sorry to break it to you.
I mean, duh. But not to this degree.
He wasn't this calm when he was shilling for Hilary. Now that he realizes his shilling along with the Clinton news network failed, he attempts to portay he was neutral all along which is total bs. Just rematch all the shit and accusations he did against trump and just blatantly ignored all of Hilary 's scandals. Fuck Jon Leibowitz he still lives off the veil that he is a "commedian" but advocates more political opinions than the entire fox news anchor cast.
Did he just age 10 years since he retired?
dandanthetaximan lmfao 😂😂😂
Selling your soul takes a Toll
Orome
He certainly looks like it huh?
Like so many on the left, they are now hollow shells, a perfect representative of what their ideology has become. They used to laugh at fox news, but they are the new propagandists, and their empty headed celebrities from Cher to Madonna run amuck while they all stew in their low information echo chamber of smugness. They no longer have the intellectual or moral high ground, they censor, they lie, freedom of speech is now "harmful", "dangerous speech"..."hate speech". It's become notable most of their outlets closed their comment sections, Hillarys official youtube was locked down tighter than Anita Sarkeesians.
This is the cycle, the establishment grows old, complacent, and corrupt. My guess it will take at least 8 years before they get better, because they clearly are doubling down on stupid with no sign of changing for the better. Many people who voted Obama voted Trump, no amount of mindless shaming from an exposed lying corporate media shill will stop people from noticing the truth, the left have become the most violent and dishonest side around, it was they who tried to assassinate the republican candidate twice, countless incidents of violence on Trump supporters and vandalism of property, they simply feel entitled to unlimited response due to their unlimited self righteousness, the mindset of terrorist. This is the left which is now constantly making up fake "hate crimes" to force the world to fit their distorted ideology, from smearing poop swastikas, to now faking hate crimes like the costco cake or the hijab pull, to the official inciters project veritas unveiled, the left simply no longer has any limit or shame, and so you deserve to lose.
The reaction, the raw unrestrained emotion of the losers this election proved they do not have the temperament to lead.
Hillary in her last act of abandoning her supporters in their moment of grief...proved she was not fit to lead, and that the american people made the right decision.
Orome he doesn't use make up anymore
John looks great after The Daily Show! Glad he went with his heart in resigning but we miss ya John!
Charlie Rose and Jon Stewart. Two thoughtful and stand-up guys. Miss 'ya Jon!
America is not a Multicultural Democracy!!! It is Multiethnic Democracy under one culture. This is the News. Asking unqualified people their opinions and peddling it as "Information" Dubious at worst, incompetent at best.
You argue word semantics and then argue that Stewart is unqualified to speak because of your differing view of the country. The man was a national voice for over a decade; he's respected worldwide for his level headed and even handed opinions. I'd take a good look at my self if I were you before you lob out that critique.
Then explain yourself why it is multiethnic and not multicultural?
Because Jon made a better point than you do, and what avout religious freedom, isn't that one base for multicultural societies?
Couple things. You just tripped yourself up, read that first sentence of your reply again. You argued that it was multi-ethinic, not Stewart. Notice how I made no mention of his argument in my comment. Secondly, I'm not here to argue whether your point or Stewart's is more valid, I'm here to argue that you calling him unqualified is naive and arrogant of you. Take or leave it, I ain't got all day to dick around on UA-cam.
The US is a REPUBLIC! We have democratic elections to vote for representatives becasue REPUBLIC!
He is (was) qualified to entertain. And paid to entertain. That millions of lemmings chose to ascribe wisdom to his viewpoints is an indictment upon their own sense of judgment.

"the border agents must protect the wall" DUH!! Did you figure that out all by yourself?
The 'border agents' are busy importing cocaine and meth actually.
good for you you Dre!! those are words of wisdom...
"Natural is tribal", so interesting..
This guy is completely ignorant to what is going on in this country.
evo seKtor who are you to say he's not right?
LuRcH how do u not know who that is?
By the fact it's a unbacked statement, its the equivalent to leaning into the microphone and saying, "wrong".
Poor baby, Jon Stewart upset the rest of the country is not liberal like he thought.... (might wanna peek outside that Hollywood Bubble)
Jon Stewart is from New York and has nothing to do with Hollywood celebrity, guy.
+LaughingStock55 lol ok.. if you think for a second that because he lives in New York that somehow separates him from the Hollywood "entertainment industry" bubble you have a lot to learn about life
+LaughingStock55 PS im not your "guy", buddy.
Someone who lives in New York, made a professional career from being a comedian in New York, and who hosted a New York based show for 16 years, is not Hollywood, dude.
You have a lot to learn about...well, everything, GUY!
I think he means more along the lines of "celebrity" instead of specifically "Hollywood." Lol.
American election look at what you did, you made Jon talk very serious about America instead of being fucking funny and serious.
A real loss...there really is no Daily Show without John.....and I never agreed with him politically, but I miss him terribly.
So appreciate Mr. Stewart's logical, downright practical, common sense view. He's speaking so much truth about HYPOCRISY on both sides. His voice was definitely missed this election cycle.
GatorGirl04 during the election cycle he was bashing Trump supporters. He's the hypocrite who tries to present himself as the rational and calm one when after election when during he was the typical smug liberal. And all do you here are eating it up.
u joking?
Why do people like John Stewart and other stars keep on the same track by claiming Trump is a xenophobe? Did they miss the ENTIRE point? "Illegal"? Trump, myself and others are not cool with folks and most of all "CRIMINALS" coming over to the States and committing "CRIMES". Especially, when it comes to murdering "American Citizens" OF ANY ETHNIC BACKGROUND! Geez!? They act as if THEY HAVE NOT EVEN HEARD A TRUMP SPEECH!!! I imagine they have since they have SOOO much to say about his words/rhetoric etc. IS THAT a racist ideology? NO. IT IS NOT.
I am a minority. Many of my friends are from minority backgrounds EVEN gay/lesbian/trans. WE ALL SUPPORT TRUMP!!! There are MANY more where we come from!
All of these stars have SELECTIVE hearing. They are suffering from the "age" virus. They are SO FAR DISCONNECTED that they CAN NOT HEAR nor can they UNDERSTAND and COMPREHEND BASIC IDEAS! They are SO FAR CONTROLLED by the MASS MEDIA which is how they make a living, that their minds are so corrupted, they are NO LONGER ABLE to see from other view points BUT what they are spoon fed by the folks signing their checks.
GatorGirl04 I AM THE MIDDLEMAN AND I AM ABOVE ALL DIALECTIC AND DEBATES.
+LandInbetween - Why not bash Trumpanzees? They're all idiots - every last one of them, including you. Just take a look at the gangsters, banksters, and neocons punching in for their next shift in DC now. Do you really think "change" is gonna come from the people that already sold you out and ran the USA into the ditch? Only a moron would believe that...
Gator...Stewart is the hypocrite..He vowed to leave America if Trump won the election. As you see...he is still in the USA. He is a paid Libtard by the Clinton Foundation....look it up..I doubt if you know what I'm talking about....and just spread more propaganda so illiterates such as yourself would blindly believe. His voice will never be missed as you stated. Wake the hell up. You and many others such as yourself are the reason America is where it is. Geez.
I am Mexican American......I am not prejudice!!!!!!!! I voted for Trump.
And you should be proud to know that you voted for someone who thinks only appealing to RACIST white people/ white nationalism during his campaign and after. The one who refuses to see that Bannon is a racist. The one who switches up his stance on almost everything he said during his campaign. Thank you for admitting your ignorance. Unfortunately you voting for him only boast you ignorance!
taliyah barnes lol give it a break boy who cried wolf
nice knowing ya
+taliyah barnes So you voted for a two faced liar, racist, sexist, corrupt harpy known as Hilary
Don't worry, I am Puertorrican and voted for Trump too! Don't listen to the haters hating you!
That reporter changed tones so fast after Stewart gave him an answer he wasn’t expecting LOL
I loved Jon Stewart on The Daily Show, but I also love his political analysis in a non-satirical forum. He is such a bright, articulate man.
If Jon still had control over the daily show, Bernie might be president right now. Trevor really screwed the pooch by supporting Hillary so hard.
Adam Martin you nailed it ... So it is better when a comedian sways the nation one way...
Even though Stewart might be closer to Bernie in his beliefs, I think he would have supported Hillary because the (very wrong) conventional wisdom was that she was a stronger candidate would wipe the floor with Trump. The fact that all the political comedy shows have steered so far to the left in discourse and the networks that host them were major donors to her campaign makes me believe he would have supported her which is a shame.
a stupid show on comedy central could not have changed the election you tard. they would have cheated Bernie Sanders anyway, LIKE THEY ALREADY DID! how much influence do you think this guy has? most people who watch him (which isn't actually that many) watch for the lols and cringe when he gets serious about politics or pushing his far-left agenda... he only really sways a small fraction of retarded celebrity-following millennials. he wouldn't have affected the outcomes by 1%. I have almost the opposite politics as Jon and yet I watched his show because it was funny, unlike Trevor Noah's. He doesn't control all his viewers.
Every single Daily Show has over a million views on UA-cam (as a minimum). Artcore103 , only retarded people think that TV doesn't have an influence. Do you honestly think that a $billion a year industry exists if it does nothing? Maybe you should be a host on Comedy Central.
Anyway, for everyone that thinks Comedy doesn't have influence - just look at Trump. He's an entertainer, and his entire campaign was a joke - yet he swayed the nation.
The nerds out there know the truth. If you crack a psychology book you'll understand, laughter is a physical representation of your reality shifting. But then again, statistics say that educated people didn't vote for Trump - so I suppose I'm talking to a wall.
Speaking as a liberal-minded individual, all I have to say is that, the election is over, and all we can do now is pay attention to his inaugural address and watch closely for the next four years at his plan for this country. We have to give him an actual chance, and I am willing to do that even despite Bannon and the drama involving his son-in-law. It's not like he can deport Muslims and Mexicans overnight or institute slavery. We have checks and balances, and if our president steps over boundaries we can look to Congress to correct him.
Dre, we just had open enrollment for health insurance at my work a week ago. I have United Healthcare through the state because I qualify earning only $33,000 a year for a family of five. Ive been sick for a year now and get a lung biopsy on Monday the 28th for a growing node. If I lose my Obama care, and have a preexisting condition that the insurance company can refuse me with Trumps original plan, I will die. I'll die no matter what, but by Trumps plan, I'll die in 2017 instead of maybe 2020. I have two teenage boys and a 9year old boy. These people care that I live longer then even I do.
Yes as the law stands they have to except preexisting conditions, but Trump vowed to repeal it. Then said maybe not, "we're gonna look at it". Meanwhile, my life is depending on what he does. And money seems to matter more then I do as a citizen.
DreTheBeast I am a liberal minded individual as well but I highly doubt we can depend on congress to keep this fascist in line. The Republicans will see this as an opportunity to pass all their backwards agendas. Donald Trump is a narcissist who loves being the center of attention. He's in this for himself. Not for you, not for me and not even for his voters. He channeled hate, bigotry and racism in order to win. Exactly how Hitler came to power. When you have one party in control of everything there are no checks and balances. It's an Achilles heel in our system that the founding fathers probably never thought about. Democracy is an illusion. I respect your views and opinions but I feel compelled to disagree with you. One more thing, the Republicans support their base and their base is full of racist, hateful people. Don't expect Republicans to do the right thing.
+DreTheBeast Yes, we have checks and balances...and it's a Republican president, a Republican congress, a Republican senate and it's going to be extremist Republicans appointing and approving the next supreme court justices.
Have you seen the obscene and hateful statements and laws coming out of the Congress and Senate lately? They've had a sick and perverted obsession with the sex lives and genitals of consenting adults this is none of their fucking business in the first place. Is that really an organization you can trust to rationally correct extremist behavior?
The supreme court ruling on Citizens United? Is that really an organization you can trust to rationally correct extremist behavior?
Obama halted the deportation of kids by executive order, what makes you think Trump won't undo that order? What makes you think that he can't or wont' go farther?
I guess the real source of frustration and the real reason why people should reject the Trump and the Republican party he represents is because we're having to discuss such issues.It's *ridiculous* that a country that used to do what was right simply because it was the right thing to do now has to hold its collective breath to see if the shitbag that got elected is going to turn out to be Mussolini 2.0 or not. We deserve better than a bigoted idiot so dishonest and so stupid and so psychologically defective that we can't even guess what kind of hateful idiocy he *might* attempt tomorrow.
Dan Haynes When I say look to Congress, I mean pressuring them as citizens to not allow our president to overstep boundaries...they still need our votes....and in two years we have the option of balancing out the scale.
How does one become so fluent and intelligent like Steward? someone tell me
Wow John, "A multicultural democracy will fail"....smart guy!!!
LOL
Jon Stewart is the LAST person I'd ask for views of anything.
Then why did you watch this video, the title is essentially "Jon Stewart's Views"
I watched as it is my right TO watch it. Isn't it?
+JPH FOREX I have the right to poo my pants. But I wouldn't intentionally poo my pants and then complain about it anyway because I have a right to... are you beginning to see how absurd what it is you just said.
I watched just to see what Stewart actually said about the election. Stewart - like most self-important celebrities - bashed away at Trump before the election. I watched it as MANY people actually think this guy is relevant. I also monitor ALL social media sites/news outlets/blogs, etc. - just to see what is being said - liberal and/or conservative.
One of the first questions I ask anyone I come in contact with is; "where do you get your news"? There answer determines a great deal in how I proceed with that person. Stewart is biased left. Sean Hannity is biased right. Yes? Therefore, I gauge myself accordingly. I routinely call out BOTH sides for errors. Too much "Stewart"? Too much liberal claptrap. Too much Hannity? Too much Neocon.
It is instructive to see what ALL sides are saying. THEN try to root out FACTS. I find Stewart to be lacking of facts - and heavy into one-sided speak. Therefore - just like many conservative "pundits", I eschew his "views".
Read what I wrote below to get your answer. I'd stop twisting the word "care" for what I actually wrote - which was that Stewart would be the last person I'd ask for views of anything. If what I wrote was "bashing", then perhaps you need some analysis.
I think Jon Stewart gave a very well-balanced and insightful look at the election about how some people can be hypocritical lumping a demographic like Muslims together with "terrorists" and how other people can be hypocritical by lumping Trump voters together as "racist, misogynist, hateful, evil", etc.
He's right that people from both sides are guilty of miscommunication and pointing fingers.
DrRockso1987 But that’s exactly what defines the liberal party.
The irony in this comment lol DrRockso1987 made an intelligent comment, with no references to his political affiliation, about how BOTH sides can stop the finger pointing and you say "BUT THE LIBERALS"
Come on....I've been getting lumped in my entire life by conservatives. I won't say you're the only ones that do it though.
Trump voters might be or might not be those things, but it obviously doesn't bother them that they voted for a man who is all that and more.
When is the left going to graduate from kinder care?
"McConnell, Ryan - those guys are the swamp."

They pretty much are.

Listen to Jon Stewart talk and then listen to Sean Hannity or Bill O'Reilly. There is an obvious difference in depth of thinking and intelligence level. I don't care if people watch or read conservative news, but at least pay attention to the smart conservatives, not the idiots.
Irate People v. Do
Miguel Cortes b bbb. Hn big. N h
I agree, but Stewart has adapted their tactics to a large extent. If you go back and watch his old interviews with Republicans, then you'll see that he is really good at changing the subject when he's losing on a certain issue. Also, Ben Shapiro is a good conservative commentator if you're looking for more logical and intellectual discourse.
Irate People ukkj
Don't scroll down! It's just ignorant people (both sides) arguing over platitudes and cliches (again, both sides) using bs evidence instead of debating actual issues with credible evidence. Not worth your or anyone else's time.
This should be at the top of every single comment section on every single video somehow concerning the election
This hot dog is shaped like a cat, therefore Person A is the better option. :)
I scrolled down and felt much better about my life
This comment section is already much better than any comment sections I've ever seen
Don't scroll up either -- not much better there...
He's a truly insightful man...
His insight and sustenance has been sorely missed!
Fair play, i don't like John but he called it down the middle without getting emotional or being insulting. if only more in the mainstream media would have done the same
I'm glad to see you're open minded! It's important to cultivate that in these times of shouting matches.
Totally agree. Obama and Trump are two sides of the "change" coin -- what America REALLY wants (and no one has delivered) is real, meaningful, change that gets rid of the corrupt and bloated and self-serving government we currently have. Sadly, I think Trump will be about as successful at that as Obama has been.
While you're correct that that is what America wants, I'm afraid you still are incapable or unwilling to see that Trump is set to deliver that very thing... not all the way, not completely, but 10x more than Obama did. The guy hasn't even been inaugurated and people are already calling him a failure. Can you remember, and do you realize, that we have NEVER in history judged a president SO much before they were even inaugurated? The media has NEVER focused THIS much on cabinet appointments, EVER!? This cycle is absolutely insane... everyone thinks it's normal to be rushing to judgment like this but it is not, it is unprecedented. People are saying wildly contradictory things. They're guessing at his cabinet before things are even certain and the appointments official. Trumps cabinet will likely give us a good representation of the extent to which he will be ABLE to (not the extent to which he would LIKE to, but be ABLE to... he's a realistic man, one president can not fix washington as much as we would like that to be the case) "drain the swamp". That means that if we see 3/4 of his cabinet turns out to be swamp monsters, guess what? That's better than 100%... that's 25% swamp drainage! Now I happen to believe the numbers will be much better than that, but that is TBD. It's also not just about the numbers, it's about which positions have more power or influence... if some of his top picks are anti-establishment/outsiders (like Bannon) then that gives an even better picture of draining the swamp. People are complaining about his cabinet being insiders, and at the same time complaining about the most outsider appointment EVER, Bannon! It's stupid! Bannon is not a white nationalist, that's just a far-left talking point. Anyone can read Breitbart and see that he is not... he's just an anti-establishment conservative, regular nationalist, who holds the views he does on immigration etc. because he wants to preserve the CULTURE of the United States, not the white race. As someone who lines up very closely with the politics of Breitbart I can assure you that we are not white nationalists (a softer term for white supremacists) but merely nationalists (as opposed to globalists), fiscally conservative, socially libertarian, constitutional originalists, pro-freedom and civil rights (true civil rights, like the 1st and 2nd amendment, not fake rights like which bathroom you can use, or killing unborn babies), and there are plenty of people of other races and backgrounds who agree.
So if you truly do want a candidate who offers change in the sense of weakening and undermining the corrupt washington establishment of both parties, then please give Trump a chance. If you get your news from mainstream media you will never EVER believe he is succeeding at anything. But if you study alternative sources you will learn that he has already made some big and unprecedented moves in the right direction, and that he already has lobbyists and insiders angry and scared.
MSM has turned people off to Trump based solely on calling him names that aren't true... racist, sexist, etc. If it weren't for those beliefs, everyone would love his platform that includes a vision and a real plan for ways to reduce the corruption in washington, and help Ameicans both keep more of their earnings, and increase their earnings. Who doesn't want more money? He is by far the more anti-war candidate, everyone wants that. He has always supported the gay community. Really about 80% of everything he stands for should appeal to liberals and progressives, but the media has not allowed you to keep an open mind about him, you've been conditioned to hate him when the majority of what he offers is exactly what you've always wanted.
So keep an open mind and convince your friends to do the same. Read alternative right-leaning news sites to see if they provide any evidence of some things he's doing right or has followed through on. Trust me, drudge, breitbart, infowars, daily caller, world net daily.... these kinds of sites WILL be critical of Trump if he does anything that goes against the principles they stand for, because unlike the MSM they don't fawn over their candidate and try to cover up for them... they'll give him the benefit of the doubt and not rush to judgment, but when the time comes, they'll tell you where he's failing, and if you can trust them to tell you where he's failing, then you should at least consider what they say he's doing right.
+Artcore103 that's trumps doing. If your entire campaign was built on "draining the swamp" and liberating the people, the "forgotten man" and appoint the most establishment swampy republicans you can find you're gonna get some shit for it. People are holding him to his word, and he's already not delivering, there's the criticism. It's not like poor trump can't even do anything, I agree he'll be critiqued no matter what that's what being president is like, but the criticisms about his cabinet are legitimate.
Joe Sinkovic that's all I asked, thank you.
