Jon Stewart Rips Trump’s Plan to Accept $400M ‘Foreign, Flying F*ck Palace’ From Qatar
The Daily Show host Jon Stewart tore into President Donald Trump’s plan to accept a $400 million “flying f*ck palace” from the state of Qatar on Monday, advising the president that there is “no such thing as a free lunch.”
Reacting to Trump’s plans to accept the airplane – which features nine bathrooms, several private offices, showers, and a bidet – Stewart remarked, “Holy crap! That is not a plane, that is a flying fuck palace.”
He continued, “I’m not going to tell Trump how to run his business, but I would steam the shit out of those carpets. But hey, it’s a jet from Qatar. We can trust them. They’re not suspect like Canada or working to undermine us like all of our other Democratic allies in Europe.”
Stewart then played a clip of ABC News’ Jonathan Karl saying, “Qatar is considered an American ally, but it also an ally of Iran and China and even Hamas.”
“Trump’s gonna take a $400 million jet from people he would expel from Columbia University,” mocked Stewart. “Obviously the president would understand that a gift of this magnitude from a government with questionable ties to terror organizations, combined with Article 1, Section 9 Constitutional prohibition against the president accepting a foreign, flying fuck palace, he would understand that that’s a legitimate– I’m just kidding, he was appalled that you’d even ask.”
The Daily Show host then played a clip of Trump lashing out at those who oppose the president receiving a “free jet.”
“It’s not a free jet. That’s the point,” concluded Stewart. “You know the expression, ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’? That’s about being skeptical of the motives of somebody who gives you a sandwich. A sandwich! A BLT! Now, imagine that that BLT has an engine, nine bathrooms, and funds proxy wars.”
