Desi Lydic Skewers MAGA Media's Trump Jet Defense With Near-NSFW Punch Line
'The Daily Show' host Desi Lydic revived her parody right-wing persona on Thursday to take aim at conservative media's defense of Donald Trump amid the president's Qatari jet controversy. Lydic sarcastically mocked personalities on Fox News and Newsmax who have downplayed concerns over the potential conflicts of interest and security fallout from the gift. 'I've been watching Fox for 747 hours straight,' Lydic quipped after her spoof character's almost-NSFW punch line blasting 'the left' for 'trying to cockpit-block our favorite president.' 'How about instead of focusing on whether the plane is 'objectively illegal,' you focus on the fact that it's objectively badass?' she joked.

'He's been obsessed with making Canada the 51st state ever since he found out Epstein Island was not eligible,' she joked of Trump, who partied with Epstein and called him a 'terrific guy' before claiming he wasn't a 'fan' of him. Lydic turned her attention to the meeting, remarking that Trump could've used the meeting for a 'proposal' to unite both nations.

In a clip from the meeting, Trump referred to his 51st state fantasy as having the potential to be a 'wonderful marriage' between the countries, adding that they're two places that 'like each other a lot.' 'Aw,' Lydic replied. 'It's like watching an episode of 'Love on the Spectrum,' if the spectrum was fascism.' Carney shut down Trump's annexation talk at the meeting, stressing that Canada is 'not for sale' and 'won't be for sale ever.' Lydic joked that Trump just got 'friend-zoned,' noting that he got a 'clear rejection' from Canada before playing a clip of the president's response to Carney's comments.

‘The Daily Show' Mocks Trump's 100th Day Oval Office Interview: He ‘Forgot to Do the Reading'
This week marked the 100th day of President Donald Trump's second term, and 'The Daily Show' recognized that by taking aim at the president's contentious Tuesday night Oval Office interview with ABC News' Terry Moran. At one point in the ABC interview, the president continued to stubbornly insist that the 'MS-13' that was photoshopped above a photo of deported Maryland man Kilmar Abrego Garcia's hand tattoos was real, rather than a label added after the fact. 'Now I understand why he's so proud of [his] Gulf of America poster,' joked 'The Daily Show' host Desi Lydic on Wednesday night's episode. 'He thinks 'Gulf of America' is actually written on top of the water!' After having already called Trump America's 'commander-in-child,' Lydic did not hesitate to criticize the moment when he frustratedly asked Moran point-blank why he would not just concede about Garcia's tattoos. ''Why don't you just say I'm right? Up is down. Left is right. Santa is real!' That is Trump in a nutshell,' Lydic observed. ''I can't prove the insane things I believe, so just go along with them. Don't believe your eyes. Believe the photoshop!'' You can watch the full 'Daily Show' segment yourself in the video below. Lydic also poked fun Wednesday night at Trump's head-scratching remarks to Moran about the Declaration of Independence — namely, the president's assertion that the founding American document is about love and unity. 'Trump is always in the 'I forgot to do the reading' mode,' Lydic observed. 'Unity is the opposite of independence! How did Trump find the one time that unity and love is the wrong answer?' Spotlighting a freeze frame of Moran's confused expression in response to Trump's comments, Lydic added, 'Look at Terry Moran's face! He looks like a teacher about to call the school psychologist.' Ultimately, the 'Daily Show' host said Trump has no excuse for not being able to accurately describe the Declaration of Independence. Not only is the document's intent in its name, but it also represents something that Lydic said Trump is plenty familiar with. 'What makes this even more sad is that the Declaration of Independence is basically the colonies filing for divorce,' Lydic concluded. 'It's the one thing Trump should absolutely recognize.'

'Daily Show' Rips Trump For Not Recognizing 1 Key Piece Of American History
'Daily Show' correspondent Desi Lydic mocked President Donald Trump on Wednesday after he revealed what the Declaration of Independence means to him in an interview with ABC News' Terry Moran. When asked about a copy of the document that was put on display in the Oval Office per his request, Trump told Moran that the Declaration of Independence 'means exactly what it says.' 'It's a declaration. It's a declaration of unity and love and respect. And it means a lot, and it's something very special to our country,' Trump said. If it's been a while since your high school civics class, the Declaration of Independence isn't about love — it outlines the tyranny and injustice the 13 original colonies suffered under the English monarchy. But what makes Trump's remarks 'even more sad,' Lydic said, is that the document is about the 13 colonies 'filing for divorce' from Britain. 'It's the one thing Trump should absolutely recognize,' Lydic joked in a nod to the president divorcing Ivana Trump and Marla Maples prior to marrying first lady Melania Trump in 2005. Moments earlier, Lydic chuckled at a freeze frame of a clip showing Moran's reaction to Trump, which caused the 'Daily Show' audience to erupt in laughter. 'He looks like a teacher about to call the school psychologist,' Lydic quipped. 'But of course he made that face, Trump said the Declaration of Independence meant unity. Unity is the opposite of independence. How did Trump find the one time that unity and love is the wrong answer?' Check out more of Lydic's Wednesday monologue on 'The Daily Show.'

'Daily Show' Sinks Trump Over His 'Ridiculous' Shower Complaint
'Daily Show' correspondent Desi Lydic poured Donald Trump showering claim down the drain on Thursday. The president, in response to the Biden administration reversing his changes to the amount of water that flows out of shower nozzles, brought an end to what he described as the left's 'war on water pressure' by signing an executive order aimed at halting water conservation efforts. 'In my case, I like to take a nice shower to take care of my beautiful hair. I have to stand under the shower for 15 minutes until it gets wet,' said Trump in the Oval Office on Wednesday. 'It comes out drip, drip, drip. It's ridiculous.' Lydic swiftly clowned Trump for his outlandish complaint. 'It takes 15 minutes for your hair to get wet? Are you sure you're not standing in the pantry?' she quipped as a fake (censored) image of Trump in the nude flashed on the screen. 'The water pressure is terrible in here and we're out of Cheez-Its.' Lydic later noted that Trump's 'major announcement' got Fox News' Brian Kilmeade to deploy the network's 'most sophisticated journalism technique': talking to old people at a diner. Kilmeade — in a 'Fox & Friends' interview with a man at a diner in Richmond, Virginia — asked what it's like to have 'strong' water pressure in the shower again. 'That's just fine with me, I think you should. I think it ought to blow the skin off you if you want it that way,' the man replied. 'We don't want to blow the skin off, the epidermis is quite vital,' Kilmeade replied. Lydic joked, 'Alright, hold on, Kilmeade, don't act like that guy is the weird one. You're the one walking around a diner going, 'Tell me what you do in the shower.'' Check out more of Lydic's Thursday monologue below.
