Trump Attempts Intellectual Economy Speech, Trashes Biden, Harris, Tic Tacs Instead | The Daily Show

With Republican strategists begging Trump to stop the insults and focus on the issues, Desi Lydic watches his "intellectual" speech on economic policy — which inevitably goes off the rails into a rant about Joe Biden's ice cream choices, Kamala Harris's laugh, and the problem with Tic Tacs. Plus, Troy Iwata on why Tic Tacs really do explain inflation. #DailyShow #Trump #Economy

Even the Tic Tac line was a lie. Nobody gave it to him that day. He’s done that same shtick at heaps of rallies.

[christopherweise]

It's so helpful for Trump to televise his messy public breakdowns for the world to see.

He is burying his own campaign....and for that i thank him.

[GoodWitchIntuitiveTarot]

He's incapable of stopping the name-calling and bullying. A typical schoolyard bully. He's unfit, and doesn't have a plan.
He's a disaster.

[julenecaldwell]

Wait a minute, a campaign based on politics instead of name calling? No way! That's not how the U.S. does it! So un-American!

[LesCish]

Haley and McCarthy want him to quit with the (juvenile) insults and talk issues. Do they realize who they are talking about?

[Bduh]

America's embarrassment is holding an "Intellectual" speech, yeah right! He's like the opposite of King Midas whereas everything King Midas touches turns to gold but everything DonOLD gets his little hands on turns to failure.

You seriously can't beat this writing. Intelligent, hilarious, expertly delivered, ironic, scathing... Bravo 👏👏👏

[desikansri]

“Do you really need a sketch artist?” - Desi killing it again! 😂😂

[BangkokZed]

We’ve managed to achieve in just 20 years what "Idiocracy" predicted would take us around 500 years. Talk about exceeding expectations!

[nomore]

I love how even Trump couldn't call his audience, "intellectuals", without laughing. The sad thing is that they don't realize he's laughing at them, not with them.

[chrisgilbert]

The mocking tone of the word "intellectuals". Such a key insight to the way Trump thinks about the world. People who think are worthless, it's all about the emotions and gut feelings.

[citizensane]

At one point in his speech, Donald had the nerve to claim he turned over a surging economy to the Biden administration. Surging…in the middle of covid. Right. Not all of us have short term memory issues bro…some of us remember what was really going on 3 1/2 years ago

[kanahikurtkk]

If I behave like Trump they would put me in a insane asylum.

[deebeetwo]

Nobody has lowered the sanctity of the Office of the Presidency like Donald Trump.

[ashley]

His speech yesterday was nothing more than a free hour of promoting himself. Again the news media failed the public.

[kamalohim]

Anyone who still gives Nikki Hailey the benefit of the doubt is a fool. She clearly only stands for her own advancement.

[dennischiapello]

For the first time in eight years I'm actually able to listen to Trump and enjoy laughing, instead of wanting to slit my wrists.

[emiebex]

Trump talking about Tic Tacs...it's stuff like this that make me so grateful he doesn't carry The Nuclear Codes anymore.

[TheJoscelyne]

I'm gonna say it - Desi is my favorite at the desk. I love love love the other correspondents but Desi is just the best behind the desk.

[jasonphillips]

Desi, you are KILLING it! You have such great timing and delivery and make me love this fantastic show even more!
