Jon Stewart Mocks Trump Team’s ‘F*cking Bananas’ Scramble Over Epstein Files: ‘Chef’s Kiss!’
Jon Stewart mocked President Donald Trump and his cabinet for the “fucking bananas” scramble to “defuse” the Jeffrey Epstein “bomb they planted” after riding the conspiracy “wave” to the White House with promises to reveal all.
In a memo released Sunday night via Axios, the Department of Justice and FBI announced that Jeffrey Epstein’s files contain neither a client list nor evidence implicating additional perpetrators. The agencies also made clear there will be “no further disclosure” regarding the case.
The abrupt end to a saga that has fueled years of conspiracy theories, particularly among Trump-aligned influencers, has sparked fury from parts of the MAGA orbit, where demands for a sweeping reckoning have collided with the administration’s official record.
On his Weekly Show podcast, Stewart unleashed a blistering assessment of the MAGA movement’s unraveling grip on its Epstein narrative.
Donald Trump very clearly came to power – the fuel of his rise was the kinetic energy of conspiracy. He rode the power of quote unquote, the secret knowledge to light up his audiences to, to drive them mad with injustice and how they were going to fight it.
There was this deep state and they all knew about it. And there was a liberal conspiracy and there were children involved and Trump and all his influencers and all those individuals that force-amplified the conspiracies are what I think drew his movement together.
It was, in many ways, the glue that holds the MAGA moment much more than I think patriotism does. It’s the glue of secret knowledge, of unknown forces that work against you to cause your life.
Nowhere, he said, was this more “exemplified” than in the Epstein case. Musing how the Trump campaign promised to clean up and expose all when it came to power he added: “It is so fucking bananas to watch them now, try and diffuse this bomb that they planted.”
Stewart then took aim at Trump himself for dismissing Epstein questions at a cabinet meeting this week, ripping the president for clapping back at a journalist by insisting there were more serious issues at hand than the “creep” Epstein – like the deadly Texas floods.
“Man, you! You were golfing the whole weekend! What are you talking about? ‘How dare someone ask a question. It’s desecration.’ You were on like the 11th hole when all this was going down. You didn’t, you didn’t change. And it’s a very reasonable question,” Stewart said.
He concluded: “But to watch [Attorney General] Pam Bondi have to go from, and it’s the same that happened with [Deputy FBI Director Dan] Bongino and [FBI Director Kash] Patel to go from conspiracy theorist to reasoned expert is just chef’s kiss.”
