Jon Stewart mocks Trump and Vance during Daily Show monologue
Jon Stewart used Monday’s episode of The Daily Show to criticize U.S. and French leaders.
He mocked Vice President JD Vance for saying his rhetoric about immigrants had been “imperfect” and questioned whether it was merely careless wording.
Stewart also challenged Vance’s claim that immigrants had brought unrest to France.
Protests in France were linked to living costs and fuel prices, which the accounts connect to the Iran War.

He also ridiculed President Donald Trump over energy prices and his decision to waive sanctions on Russian fuel sales.
Stewart will host the show through 2028, after his renewal was announced before the episode.
