Jon Stewart On Trump Quitting: Why Are You Letting Me And The Country Down!?

Video
» 43 comments

Daily Show host Jon Stewart is, like so many of us, saddened and discouraged by Donald Trump‘s decision not to run in 2012. For one, with less Trumpage in the media, we might never learn what it was that his team of private investigators found in their search for Barack Obama‘s birth certificate in Hawaii. And what will happen to the Daily Show‘s massive plans for future Trump jokes?

If that isn’t enough for you, Stewart also waxed poetic on a certain part of The Donald’s anatomy. For what seemed like a long time. A very, very, very long time.

    Obama kicked Trump’s ass and he is a quitter.

    Trump made the republican base look like fvcking idiots.

  • Yoda002

    What ever happen to those people looking for Obama’s birth certificate. ” I can’t believe what they’re finding!” I wonder if they were paid on commission?

    You truly are an idiot.

    I understand that you are just playing the game, but you just suck so bad at it.

    I bet they were bulking up those hair jokes to deliver in doses for the next year. For late night comedians worldwide, this is a massive chunk of material vanishing.

    Just like Trump’s real hair.

    Palin and Bachmann are hit the hardest. Even they couldn’t answer a question about Trump without cracking a smile. Now the attention(jokes) are once again AIMED in their direction.

    Stewart is so very lucky that he gets to play such a swell ( man of the year,,,,no century according some magazine ), because in real life he is nothing but that annoying dryer lint you can never seem to remove all of ( no matter how hard you try ) from the pull out filter.

    Jon Stewart Ought To Be Asking: Barack Obama Why Are You Letting Me And The Country Down!?

    But we all know that’s not funny though true so once again the racist ‘ Affirmative Action ‘ president gets a pass from the ultra left wing MSM establishment.

    They distract their viewers from the real issues like the dire straits the Obama regime has deliberately forced our country into by instead drawing their degenerate viewers attention to the failures and shortcomings of the opposing party.

    All in good fun they will tell you, no hidden agenda here.

    Meanwhile the Obama administration continues to destroy America while they divert attention to Donald Trump’s hair or Newt Gingrich’s outstanding Tiffany’s account.

    There is nothing funny about what is going on here, not in the least.

    When gifts of this sort (Trump and Newt) are lavished upon one, it would be tacky not to graciously accept them and to thank the RNC.

    Yet the 175lb gorilla in the room, Barack Obama is given a free pass by the left wing bomb throwing MSM.

    Stewart could barely raise his voice above a mouse sqeak on O’Reilly’s show for him to him to have the vagina to apologize to the ” Affirmative Action ” president for initially have to high of an expectation for his presidency.

    This douchebag ( Stewart ) is the defacto leader, Time Magazine liberal ‘ Man of the Year ‘ and he goes on ” FOX NETWORK ” and blows Barack Obama for the whole world to see.

    The next day, nothing at all said about this pathetic display. It’s right back to the Donald’s hair, etc.

    This country is in big trouble and neither party or the American people are up to facing the truth…..God help us.

    Not many people believed Trump to be Conservative, much less a Republican. He was a Clinton supporter, who voted for McCain. He continued his support for Democrats until, all of a sudden, he decided to think about running as a Repub. He polled well in those first few initial polls because he was hitting Obama on a number of areas, and he was in the news 24/7. He collapsed in the pres polls because no one took him seriously as a candidate. (and many of us knew he was actually going to run)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qq4XXgm6UjM&feature=player_embedded

    I was trying to find the article for my comment where I said I didn’t believe he would run, but after looking through 15 pages of posts at Mediaite I gave up. (it became an obsession to see how many pages of posts Mediaite actually dedicated to Trump (since March). 15 page. That’s 300 posts….

    I think the Left *fell* for his schtick more than the Republicans.

    I still think he was out there as a favor to someone, either the GOP of a potential Democratic challenger (hillary), to put the birth certificate issue to bed before 2012. I don’t think anyone wanted to head into the 2012 race with that issue still out there, including Obama.

    how ridiculous was the Tiffany’s story??!! BFD! He owed them money. That’s what charge cards are for. He probably bought his wife a ring or something. I fail to see how that is even relevant. It was from 2005 and 2006. That is like the dumbest story ever.

    Now, if he borrowed the money from Tony Rezko, that would be a story….. (well, you would THINK it would be)

    Absolutely *correct* Tumbleweed, as *usual*. That’s *why* the polls were showing Trump *winning* or coming in second in the Republicn *nomination* process. All the *Left* answered they were going to *vote* in the Republican *primary* and vote for *Trump*. That’s also why the *pundits* on the left largely *concluded* the Trump *candidacy* was not serious and why most of the pundits on the *right* concluded it was. I’m sure that would have all gotten *by* someone not as *astute* as *you*.

    Except, of course, Republicans love to create this myth they are of the people, and a US $500K LOC at Tiffany’s rather belies that message, doesn’t it.

    But, good for you on Rezko! The fact that the story is irrelevant to this discussion and the additional fact that no wrongdoing has been found, a negligent omission on your part no doubt since you are the soul of intellectual integrity and honesty, didn’t keep you from running down to the sewer, grabbing a handful of muck and hurling it at America’s first African American president. You’re nothing if not focused.

    He finally done jumped the tracks , rolled down the hill and settled in a mudpuddle !

    What he’s trying to say is that he is NOT a RACIST , no matter what people are saying !!!!

    Rezko’s coming , King Barry .

    .Why is Antoin “Tony” Rezko under lock and key at an undisclosed location, like some sort of CIA-renditioned al Qaeda operative? And why hasn’t he been sentenced yet?

    As the June 3 corruption trial of former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich for allegedly trying to sell Obama’s former Illinois Senate seat approaches, the whereabouts of the former Blago and Obama fundraiser is literally a state secret.

    The Chicago Sun-Times reported that Rezko was moved from Chicago’s downtown Metropolitan Correctional Center on December 16th, even though it’s right across the street from the federal courthouse where Blago will be tried.

    Rezko’s not listed on the federal Bureau of Prisons’ inmate locator, either.

    “Nobody knows where he is,” a source in Chicago told The Examiner.

    The other big question: Why hasn’t Rezko been sentenced yet? It’s been almost two years since the Chicago restaurant and real estate developer was convicted on bribery, fraud and money laundering charges.

    President Barack Obama

    Rezko was the president’s “real estate fairy,” as one Chicago columnist likes to put it. Remember how they bought a house together in Chicago? Rezko was one of Obama’s earliest and biggest fundraisers and donors. Obama was one of his go-to guys for housing legislation in the Illinois state Senate.

    If I were Tony Rezko, I’d be hiding, too.

    Here is another one. This one is not yours, little bifher racist, so don’t start whining yet:

    However, it is my hypothesis that had Trump been correct on the Birther issue (not that I think he had a high probability of that, but not the point), he would have virtually walked into the White House. Had he been able to discover something unique about Obama’s birth, forcing Obama to step down, leaving Biden at the top… the government and public would have been in such disarray, that Trump would have been able to run a campaign based on that one issue alone, and “rewarded” by the right and the independents for having the courage to go against Obama and defy the critics.

    This one is quite interesting:

    So to get even with the Tea Party, the lunatic-left produced their own trick, donald trump, so the Tea Partiers would support this phony – who’s a d-crat socialist-backing, obozocare-supporting, auto-company-bailout supporting, egomaniac, hussein-level-narcissist and abortionist – instead of supporting a real, honest, conservative who could help TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY from the d-crat socialists.

    Do you want more LIBERALS who thought the Donald was serious about running for president?

    You little racist birfher POS.

    It was a surprise, and when my secretary told me, I put on a helmet and a flak jacket as I answered the phone. I expected a tirade, which he had every right to do given what I have been saying about him. In fact, he was courteous but very calm, and he made his case, rather than sort of attacking everything I said about him. Simply, he made his case: “I’m a serious businessman, I’m a serious candidate.”

    Well, let’s see…

    Rezko hasn’t flirted with running for POTUS like Newt(er) has.
    Rezko isn’t standing on a platform of values with the baggage Newt(er) is.
    Rezko didn’t have the outstanding 500K Tiffany’s bill. Newt(er) did.
    Rezko wasn’t Speaker of the House, married to wife #2 and diddling a woman named Calista for SIX years while presiding over impeachment hearings for one William Jefferson (BlowJob) Clinton.
    Rezko didn’t assert that his at least two adulterous relationships (yeah, righ!) were because “he cared about America so much”
    Rezko didn’t go on the Sunday shows, saying stuff and then get all p*ssy because the dribble that comes out of his mouth was recited back to him.

    seriously, sara. you can say BFD or who cares regarding the jewelry bill. but then you go all false-equivalent and lame with the Rezko comment.

    What is wrong with owing money on a credit card? Almost everyone in America owes money on credit cards. Did it say it was overdue? No.
    Did it say he defaulted on the bill? No.
    Did it say he was buying something illegal? No.
    So he bought his wife something at Tiffany’s – BFD.

    I didn’t get all false-equivalent and lame with the Rezko comment – my point is that if the story involved some sort of illegal action like fraud or bribery with a slum lord, THEN it would be a story. Shopping at Tiffany’s is not newsworthy.

    And my point that you would THINK it would be newsworthy if it involved Rezko, I believe, is quite obvious.
