'Daily Show' Makes An 'Ass' Out Of Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill' Using 1 Wild Acronym
'Daily Show' correspondent Ronny Chieng on Thursday revealed why President Donald Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' (or BBB for short) is reminding people of an acronym with a far different meaning.
Chieng tossed to a CNN clip of 'Full Disclosure' host Roben Farzad mistakenly referring to the BBB as the 'BBL' (an acronym for Brazilian butt lifts, a procedure to alter the look of a person's buttocks) before catching his gaffe.
'Share your screen right now!' quipped Chieng of Farzad's on-air fumble.
Chieng suggested that perhaps BBL was a 'better name' after all.
'Because this bill is thick and mostly ass!' he added.
The bill — which the House passed on Thursday —slashes Medicaid funding, cuts $290 billion for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (or SNAP) and extends Trump's 2017 tax cuts at a cost of about $4 trillion.
'The only way this could be more cartoonishly mean to poor people is if it said Bob Cratchit has to work on Christmas Day,' said Chieng as a photo from 'The Muppet Christmas Carol' flashed alongside him.
He later continued, 'But this vote was very controversial even among Republicans who didn't like how it increased the debt by $4 trillion. Do you realize how much money $4 trillion is? No, you don't, because none of it went to education!'
