Jon Stewart rips Trump’s ‘quick onset dementia’ reaction to war chat leak
The late-night host also pulled no punches as he discussed the “crazy arrogance” in those war plan texts.
Summary
Jon Stewart mocked Donald Trump’s reaction to the war plan leak, accusing him of exhibiting "quick onset dementia" whenever faced with accountability.
Stewart noted Trump’s aloof response to the security breach, where classified war plans were leaked via a Signal group chat mistakenly including a journalist.
Stewart criticized Trump’s repeated denial pattern, comparing it to previous instances where Trump distanced himself from controversial actions.
He also condemned the "crazy arrogance" of officials involved in the chat, calling the situation a major national security blunder.
I always thought it was fascinating how much he gets to say he has no knowledge or memory of anything. It's like wow, why are you even president if you don't know or remember anything ever? The obvious tactic should have been mocking and ridiculing him BETTER than he mocks and ridicules everyone. His insults are trash tier. The left should have just roasted the shit out of him back in 2016.
I can’t get the link to load. Did Stewart criticize the decision to bomb Yemen?
I can't imagine he's in favor of bombing Yemen. Trying to gotcha your allies is so tiring. Leftists are their own biggest enemies
That wasn’t a gotcha, dumbfuck. I was curious because I usually like Jon Stewart and hoped he’d mentioned it in addition to this nonsense.
But if you think that pointing out the wrong locus of outrage is being an enemy, you are making Republicans seem intelligent to you by comparison and you don’t belong in a free society.
Leftists are their own biggest enemies
Truly
This is the faux-progressive version of "Did he say Thank You?"
Edit: maybe I misconstrued your sentiment. In the linked clip, he did not talk about the bombing of Yemen, only Trump feigning (or legitimately claiming, although I doubt it) ignorance.
I was just hoping that he talked about the important part—the bombing—in addition to the unimportant part—the text message.
This is Trump’s way of stalling to give the GOP’s PR apparatus time to draft messaging that whitewashes the incident.
Other politicians would say “no comment” to buy time, and that makes them look guilty. Trump says “I don’t know yet,” which makes the incident look too insignificant for a busy person to pay attention to.
Honestly, it’s a smart tactic. It’s evil and shitty, but it’s smart.
FOX News has already been gaslighting since the story broke
I guess it's just another type of... Draft dodging.
First draft dodging.
It's experienced that's why, he's had to do this shit dozens of times I bet
That’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, there’s a powerful group of people behind him working hard to ensure they gain more money and/or power. And it’s pretty clear Russia is leading that charge. Trump isn’t in power because of some dumb mistake. It required a lot of money and effort, and the decisions he’s made in power are specifically benefiting those that put him there.
Tbh I miss the Jon Stewart of the 2000s that actually would take a stand as opposed to Jon of the 2020s that platforms pieces of shit in candyass interviews and is too scared to say dirty words like "fascist" and "nazi."
This comment shows you haven't actually watched him lately.
Just instablocking these obvious astroturf accounts
Bye Felicia

What a strange reply. Have you watched him lately?
Stewart lately: https://lemm.ee/post/53889269
Dude he got his show on Apple TV fully cancelled because he was refusing to pull punches that Apple told him to. Stewart is one of the good guys.
