'Daily Show' Uncovers The Brutal Reason Behind Trump's Scotland Trip
'Daily Show' correspondent Desi Lydic roasted President Donald Trump on Tuesday over his five-day trip to Scotland, a visit he used to play at — and promote — his golf courses.
'Trump is in Scotland right now, seeing as his favorite island destination has been shut down,' she quipped as a picture of Trump with late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein appeared on screen.
The jab comes after Trump — in his meeting with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday — continued to downplay his relationship with Epstein by claiming that he never had 'the privilege' of visiting a private island that belonged to his old friend in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Lydic went on to stress that while it's important for a president traveling overseas to 'project strength and dignity,' an 'uninvited insect made that a little harder' for Trump this time around.
She then turned to a clip — backed by Donna Summer's 'Hot Stuff' — of Trump swatting the air around his head as he grabbed a golf club from his bag at the opening of his new course in Scotland.
Lydic swiftly mocked Trump's hand motions.
'What is this? Is he voguing? Shoo fly! Sashay away,' she joked.
'It feels like Trump's accidental dance moves are way more impressive than his intentional ones. Anyway, I do understand why he was so frantic, that mosquito was also asking Trump about Jeffrey Epstein.'
She later shook her head in disappointment after she played a clip of Trump at a ribbon-cutting ceremony for his new course on Tuesday.
'Is this his side hustle or is America his side hustle?' she asked.
She later continued, 'The point is, we're just used to this now but imagine if when Obama was in office he kept flying on Air Force One to open up Pizza Hut-Taco Bell franchises.'
