And as always, the president invited some special guests to the gallery, with inspiring stories of enduring unimaginable hardship. For instance, Melania. —Stephen Colbert
During the State of the Union, Trump mostly stuck to the script, which included plenty of falsities. No Trump speech would be complete without an absolute, blatant lie. And for tonight’s address, Trump went with an old classic: that he’s the champion of healthcare. At one point, Trump promised an “ironclad pledge” to “always protect patients with pre-existing conditions”. Really? That lie is so extreme that if he was Pinocchio he would’ve impaled Mitch McConnell in his seat.
Here’s the truth: Trump tried to kill protections for pre-existing conditions when he went after Obamacare, and right now – right now! – his administration is in court trying to kill it again. So him claiming to be the champion of protecting pre-existing conditions is like the coronavirus being like: ‘I love Chinese people, I really do.’ —Trevor Noah
Trump’s theme was the Great American Comeback, focusing on the economy and stock market, which is a little like the captain of the Titanic going: ‘Yeah, have you tried the shrimp?’ —Jimmy Kimmel
“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic.
A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night On Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
