‘Daily Show' Audience Erupts Over Desi Lydic's Trump Parade Realization
'The Daily Show' host Desi Lydic found a potential silver lining in the astonishing cost of the U.S. Army's upcoming 250th anniversary parade — which also happens to fall on President Donald Trump's 79th birthday. Saturday's celebrations in Washington, D.C. will reportedly cost up to $45 million ― with up to $16 million of that figure going to repair the city's streets after they have been trampled on by heavy tanks. '$45 million and a third of that is just you ripping up the roads?' asked Lydic. 'People don't usually throw down that hard unless they're moving out the next day,' she pointed out. Then came the realization. 'Wait!' said Lydic. 'Is Trump moving out the next day?' she asked, as the audience erupted in cheers. 'Could it be?' she added.

Donald Trump Ducks ‘Les Misérables' Character Question, Internet Brutally Answers It For Him
Donald Trump hit a flat note Wednesday when pressed on 'Les Misérables,' the musical he's long praised as one of his favorites. Appearing on the red carpet ahead of a performance of the show at the Kennedy Center — the typically bipartisan institution which Trump has purged and controversially made himself chair — the president was asked by a reporter: 'Have you seen the musical before and do you identify more with Jean Valjean or Javert?' Valjean, the heroic protagonist, seeks redemption after 19 years in prison for stealing bread. Police inspector Javert, meanwhile, is utterly obsessed with law, order and punishment. Trump dodged the question. 'That's a tough one. The last part of that question, that's tough, I think,' he said, before turning to his wife, first lady Melania Trump, and saying: 'You better answer that one, honey.' 'I don't know,' he added. 'I've seen it, we've seen it a number of times. It's fantastic. I thought it was just about our first choice. That's why we got, and we have others coming — other great ones are coming.' Watch here: Trump's answer — or lack of one — quickly drew mockery on social media. Some critics compared it to when Trump dodged a question about his favorite Bible verse. Others asked if he actually knew the 'Les Mis' story, which centers on an anti-government uprising, at all. Many suggested he definitely identified as Javert.
