Like Jimmy Kimmel, The Daily Show also spent time discussing Donald Trump’s recent NBC interview. But while Kimmel focussed on the president’s comments about ICE, host Michael Kosta put the spotlight on his baffling remarks about a secret U.S. weapon called “the discombobulator“. Yes, really.
“The discombobulator? That sounds like the worst ride at Six Flags,” says Kosta, playing footage of Trump waffling about the weapon that the U.S. apparently used during its attack on Venezuela — and something he’s apparently not meant to talk about.
“So you said you’re not allowed to talk about it, but it kind of feels like you talked about it?” says Kosta. “This dude cannot keep a secret. This is how you know there’s no aliens, because day one Trump would have been like, ‘I’m not supposed to say anything, but they have three boobs.'”
Kosta goes on to play a clip of Trump saying he was the one that came up with the name.
“And it is a great name, Mr President,” says Kosta. “It does not sound like a weapon in Paw Patrol at all.”
