Summary

Jon Stewart mocked Donald Trumpā€™s reaction to the war plan leak, accusing him of exhibiting ā€œquick onset dementiaā€ whenever faced with accountability.

Stewart noted Trumpā€™s aloof response to the security breach, where classified war plans were leaked via a Signal group chat mistakenly including a journalist.

Stewart criticized Trumpā€™s repeated denial pattern, comparing it to previous instances where Trump distanced himself from controversial actions.

He also condemned the ā€œcrazy arroganceā€ of officials involved in the chat, calling the situation a major national security blunder.

    Thatā€™s always the thing that saddens me. People think somehow Trump is both an idiot but stripping the government apart piece by piece at the same time. Even if he is dumb, thereā€™s a powerful group of people behind him working hard to ensure they gain more money and/or power. And itā€™s pretty clear Russia is leading that charge. Trump isnā€™t in power because of some dumb mistake. It required a lot of money and effort, and the decisions heā€™s made in power are specifically benefiting those that put him there.
