The Presidential elections are drawing close and the stage has been set with the Presidential debate between the two top candidates eyeing the throne — Joe Biden and Donald Trump. While the debate has left many questioning the future of America, neither social media nor Hollywood took long to make jokes out of it.
President Joe Biden’s growing age and visible issues have been a concern for a while, which were further accentuated during the debate. Trump, on the other hand, was only yapping, to say the least. Jon Stewart took the chance and didn’t hold back as he made remarks on the debate during an unfiltered broadcast of The Daily Show on Comedy Central. Here’s what he said.

Jon Stewart Fires Shots At Joe Biden And Donald Trump After Presidential Debate
Hours after the live airing of the Presidential Debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, Jon Stewart basically put into words, and on screen, what was going on in all of our minds. “This cannot be real life. It just can’t,” a visibly shocked Stewart said as the show kicked off.

While we are sure almost the entire America was thinking the same thing after witnessing the heated debate unfold, Stewart stretched it a bit and made it hilarious. He wasted no time as he asserted his disappointment with the evening’s debate. “We just watched what you watched,” he said, setting the tone for his sharp yet amusing commentary.
“Let me just say after watching tonight’s debate, both of these men should be using performance enhancing drugs. If performance enhancing drugs will improve their lucidity, their ability to solve problems, and in one of the candidate’s cases, improve their truthfulness, morality and malignant narcissism, then suppository away,” the show host said, taking a double-edged dig at both the debate contestants.

Jon Stewart was specific as he detailed the debate, focusing on how each of the two contenders messed it up. The comedian criticized Biden’s stumbling through policy discussions as well as Trump’s articulate but dishonest presentation. “Anybody can mess up talking,” Stewart noted wryly, referencing Biden’s Medicare gaffe.
Turning to Trump, Stewart said, “Maybe I’ll check out this young upstart Donald Trump,” as he poked fun at the former president’s performance. “He does not appear to have passed the a**hole test,” Stewart further said.
In classic Stewart style, he also took a jab at Trump’s notorious claim about Stormy Daniels. “She was a porn character actor at best,” he joked. He did not even spare CNN, criticizing their debate rules that limited fact-checking and constrained responses.
“Who came up with these dumbass f**king rules and why would any of these people agree to them?” Stewart said. The debate was aired live by CNN and many have contended the channel’s bias for Trump which put Biden in a difficult spot.
