Trump's Dismal Performance = Late Night Comedy Gold
We made it to May! Hi, I’m Geoff Plitt, and welcome to What You Need to Know, the brief, weekly newsletter where I share the best comedy videos I’ve seen all week. It will always be free, and you’re welcome to become a friend by following me on Twitter, Instagram, or TikTok, where I share my own jokes every week.
And now, the videos you came for:
I love Jon Stewart. In his latest The Daily Show appearance, he looks at Trump’s first 100 days: from plummeting approval ratings, to unfulfilled promises on immigration, health, and the economy, to destroying his reputation as a shrewd negotiator with China and Ukraine:
And when Jon isn’t on The Daily Show, Desi Lydic certainly gives him a run for his money. In this recent clip, Desi covers Trump’s 100th day celebrations, his famous “YMCA” dance, and putting the economy on financial Ozempic:
Here’s a recent video from Kimmel where Jimmy covers Trump’s meeting with President Zelensky at the Vatican, Melania celebrating her 55th birthday, and George Santos being sentenced to 87 months in prison:
Finally, I liked Bill Maher’s latest New Rule on Real Time: Republicans have to stop excusing all the dictator-y stuff that comes out of Trump’s mouth by saying “He’s just kidding!” Enjoy:
Thanks for reading! Have a great weekend.
