Olivia Munn mocks Trump's tariffs during surprise ‘Daily Show' appearance
Olivia Munn is mocking President Trump's tariffs, describing a seemingly endless trade war that she says has 'only mostly destroyed' the global economy. The 'X-Men: Apocalypse' actor, a former 'Daily Show' correspondent, returned to the Comedy Central show on Wednesday for a tariff-focused sketch. 'Trump knows exactly what he's doing. He put tariffs that destroyed the global economy, so then he took them off, and now it's only mostly destroyed,' Munn quipped to guest host Desi Lydic. 'Now, to avoid tariffs coming back, other countries will cut deals with us for better trade terms, and our deficit drops to zero. Problem solved,' Munn said. 'I see, and that's when we drop all the tariffs?' Lydic replied. 'No, bitch. Then we hit them even harder — 400 percent tariffs. We bomb their factories. We catch those penguins on that island and we eat them. Then the other countries will really come begging. We can get whatever we want, baby,' Munn exclaimed, referring to tariffs placed on tiny islands uninhabited by humans but popular with penguins. 'Ikea furniture comes assembled. Honda Accords, trunks full of Nike sneakers. We'll get to pee on their currency while they watch. Then we won,' Munn said. 'Then the trade war ends,' Lydic insisted. 'Then 4 billion percent tariffs! You're in our house now. The new iPhone: $3. Nike sneakers come with a Honda Accord. Then we pee on their currency again. They're not even watching, it's just the only way we can pee anymore,' Munn said to laughs from the audience. The 'Daily Show' segment came after Trump announced sweeping tariffs last week on the U.S.'s foreign trade partners. Financial markets, which were rattled by the trade moves, rallied on Wednesday after Trump issued a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for most countries, except China. U.S. stocks dropped again on Thursday after the White House clarified that it had imposed 145 percent tariffs on China. 'How does any of this make up the trade deficit?' Lydic asked Munn. 'It's not the trade deficit. This is all to make up for Donald Trump's enormous deficit of attention and love,' Munn said. The performer pointed to remarks Trump made on Tuesday, when he told House Republicans, 'These countries are calling me up kissing my ass.' 'He's just a boy, standing in front of the world, asking to have his ass kissed,' Munn said of Trump, a nod to a line from the 1999 film, 'Notting Hill.' 'And once the world fills the aching hole in his heart, the tariffs will end,' Munn, 44, said. 'But that will never happen. There's not enough attention in the world to make him feel like a human again,' Lydic replied. 'Exactly, bitch,' Munn said.

Olivia Munn Returns to ‘The Daily Show' 14 Years Later to Clarify Why Trump Loves His Tariffs So Much
Olivia Munn got her start in Hollywood hosting 'Attack of the Show!' for G4 in the late 2000s, but she followed that up with a 16-episode stint as a correspondent on 'The Daily Show' from June 2010 to September 2011. Nearly 14 years later, she's back and more famous than ever to help current host Desi Lydic understand the real reason behind President Donald Trump's baffling reciprocal tariffs. 'You know how Jon [Stewart] comes in one day a week? Yeah, I have the same deal. I just come in once every 14 years,' Munn began her surprise appearance on Wednesday night. 'My dad's a cicada.' 'Trump knows exactly what he's doing. He put tariffs that destroyed the global economy, so then he took them off and now it's only mostly destroyed,' she explained. 'Now, to avoid tariffs coming back, other countries will cut deals with us for better trade terms and our deficit drops to zero. Problem solved.' At that, Lydic seemed to understand the business rationale behind the move — except Munn (and Trump) weren't done. 'Then we hit them even harder. 400% tariffs. We bomb their factories. We catch those penguins on that island and we eat them,' the actress continued. 'Then, the other countries will really come begging. We can get whatever we want, baby. Ikea furniture comes assembled, Honda Accords, trunks full of Nike sneakers. We'll get to pee on their currency while they watch. Then we've won.' Naturally, there's even more in store for our collective futures: '4,000,000,000% tariffs. You're in our house now. The new iPhone? $3. Nike sneakers comes with a Honda Accord. Then we pee on their currency again; they're not even watching, it's just the only way we can pee anymore.' And when Lydic finally questioned why Trump is so focused on his tariffs and the trade deficit, Munn clarified: 'Desi, baby girl, it's not the trade deficit. This is all to make up for Donald Trump's enormous deficit of attention and love.' 'There's not enough attention in the world to make him feel like a human again,' the Comedy Central star concluded. See you in 2039, Olivia. 'The Daily Show' airs Monday-Thursday at 11 p.m. EST on Comedy Central before streaming next day on Paramount+. The post Olivia Munn Returns to 'The Daily Show' 14 Years Later to Clarify Why Trump Loves His Tariffs So Much | Video appeared first on TheWrap.

Olivia Munn mocks Trump's ‘destructive' tariff strategy in surprise Daily Show return
Olivia Munn made a surprise return to The Daily Show on Wednesday to roast Donald Trump's abrupt reversal of his threatening global tariffs. The 44-year-old Predator star, who appeared as a correspondent on Comedy Central's satirical news program from 2010 to 2011, helped the show's Desi Lydic make sense of the president's 'tariff mania.' 'So break it down for us. What is Trump's strategy here with these tariffs?' Lydic asked. 'Everyone's scared. There's so much uncertainty, and this is no way that you can actually run an economy.' Munn stepped in to tell Lydic to 'be cool,' reassuring her that 'Trump knows exactly what he's doing. He put tariffs that destroyed the global economy, so then he took them off, and now it's only mostly destroyed. Now, to avoid tariffs coming back, other countries will cut deals with us for better trade terms and our deficit drops to zero — problem solved.' 'Ok, I see,' Lydic replied hesitantly. 'And that's when we drop all the tariffs?' 'No b****,' Munn responded. 'Then we hit them even harder: 400 percent tariffs. We bomb their factories. We catch those penguins on that island, and we eat them. Then the other countries will really come begging.' 'We can get whatever we want, baby!' she continued. 'Ikea furniture? Comes assembled. Honda Accords — trunks full of Nike sneakers. We'll get to pee on their currency while they watch. Then we've won!' 'Gross,' Lydic said. 'But fine. Then the trade war ends?' 'Yes, then it makes sense for the trade war to end,' Munn acknowledged. 'But sike, b**** — 4 billion percent tariffs. You're in our house now. The new iPhone? $3. Nike sneakers comes with a Honda Accord. Then we pee on their currency again. They're not even watching. It's just the only way we can pee anymore.' 'Olivia, why?' Lydic questioned. 'How does any of this make up the trade deficit?' 'Desi, baby girl, it's not the trade deficit,' Munn said. 'This is all to make up for Donald Trump's enormous deficit of attention and love. He said as much last night,' she added before playing a clip from Trump's speech at the National Republican Congressional Committee Dinner. 'I'm telling you, these countries are calling us up, kissing my ass. They are. They are dying to make a deal,' the president told the roomful of GOP donors. 'See?' Munn said. 'He's just a boy standing in front of the world asking to get his ass kissed. And once the world fills the aching hole in his heart, the tariffs will end.' 'But that will never happen,' Lydic argued. 'There's not enough attention in the world to make him feel like a human again.' 'Exactly b****,' Munn replied. On Wednesday, just hours after Trump's sweeping tariffs took effect on more than 75 nations, he performed an extraordinary U-turn. He announced he was pausing and reducing tariffs on most nations for 90 days while increasing levies on imports from China to 125 percent.
