Donald Trump is in China visiting Xi Jinping at the moment, providing the late night hosts with a swathe of roastable material.
In the Daily Show clip above, Jordan Klepper gleefully compares the Chinese president talking about the Thucydides Trap (a story about a fear of a rising power resulting in war) with Trump talking about Chinese restaurants in the U.S. outnumbering fast food chains.
“That’s my president,” says Klepper. “Putting his understanding of geopolitics into fast food terms. He gives a summit speech like a third grader who got assigned China for his geography project.”
Klepper goes on to talk about the closed door meeting where Xi reportedly warned Trump against a mishandling of the situation with Taiwan, resulting in the U.S. president appearing to avoid the question at a resulting press conference.
“What happened in the meeting that made him really not want to talk about Taiwan?” asks Klepper. “He’s out there like, ‘Don’t you guys want to talk about anything else? Jeffrey Epstein? I got a lot of redactions. I got time, let’s chat!”
