Jon Stewart Mocks ‘Make-A-Wish Kid’ President Trump: ‘Treating Him Like a Child’

 

The Daily Show host Jon Stewart likened President Donald Trump to a “Make-A-Wish kid” on Monday, playing clips of the president receiving gifts and non-stop praise.

“Once you begin to notice this pattern, you begin to see really the whole vibe around this president is very Make-A-Wish kid. Everyone who shows up to his office tries to make one of his dreams come true,” said Stewart, before playing a clip of Trump being presented with an honorary United States Marshall badge.

He continued:

Look how happy they made him! “Gee whiz, mister, a real marshall?! This is even better than when they let me drive a garbage truck!” Now you might be saying to yourself, the Make-A-Wish thing is a little much. A grown man would recognize when people are condescending to him, treating him like a child, tiptoeing around his fragile ego with the idea that this person is so easily manipulated that even the cheapest of gestures could be persuasive. You would f***ing think that.

The Daily Show host proceeded to play a clip FIFA president Gianni Infantino allowing Trump to touch the FIFA World Cup.

“It is the trophy that the winner of the FIFA World Cup wins. Only the FIFA president and then those who win can touch it because it’s for winners only,” said Infantino in the clip. “And since you’re a winner, of course you can as well touch it.”

Stewart mocked, “Also, I have in a bag Thor’s hammer! But only the bravest boy can pick it up. Only the bravest boy – my God, you did it!”

“I’m telling you though, man, this goes way past trophy fondling and cereal box deputy badges. The people around Trump know that he is a never-ending, insatiable black hole of wishes,” he concluded, airing a compilation of Trump administration officials and allies calling for the president to be given the Nobel Prize. “Everything about the treatment of this president screams Make-A-Wish kid.”
