"Thanks to Donald 'Junta" Trump, we just don't have enough time to cover some of the more fun stories," like
Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu lugging suitcases of dirty laundry to
Washington so the
White House will clean it for free,
Trevor Noah said on Thursday's Daily Show. But it's hard to care too much about these smaller stories "when the world's oldest democracy is about to become the world's newest dictatorship.""I never thought I would see the day where an
American president would threaten not to accept an
election defeat," Noah said. "Because let's be honest, this is something you hear about in some random country where America steps in to enforce democracy. I feel like now it's only fair that those countries should send peacekeepers to the U.S.""By Trump saying that he refuses to leave peacefully, he's basically threatening a coup," Noah said, and "if you've paid any attention to
Donald Trump over the past five years, it's no surprise that he likes the idea of being a dictator. I mean, he's written more love letters to
Kim Jong Un than his own wife. The question is, will other
Republicans allow him to get away with it?" Despite some reassuring tweets, "there is nothing the GOP can do put people at ease," he concluded. "They try and reassure people all the time and then what to they do? They always end up backing Trump." Noah asked Roy Wood Jr. for his thoughts, and Wood preached calm — as he packed to flee to
Canada."I will say, man, Donald Trump has gone on quite the journey," Noah said. "The man spent his entire life as one of the world's most famous landlords, and now he's turning into the world's most famous squatter. I bet even if
Joe Biden wins, they're gonna find Trump in the White House basement someday living that Parasite life."
The
Late Show had its own ideas for how to get rid of a pest that won't leave the White House. Watch below.
