The One Question No One Asked Donald Trump

JON Stewart has finally broken his silence on Donald Trump’s shock election victory, after leaving The Daily Show.
The former late night TV host joined Charlie Rose on CBS This Morning where he said that Trump’s win was a reaction to the Democrats and the Republicans. “I don’t believe we are a fundamentally different country today than we were two weeks ago,” Stewart said. “The same country with all its grace and flaws, and volatility and insecurity and strength and resilience exists today as existed two weeks ago. The same country that elected Donald Trump elected Barack Obama.”
After criticising Republican Senator Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan, Stewart called out the president-elect himself and the Democrats who unintentionally got him into office.
“Donald Trump is a reaction not just to Democrats, but also to Republicans. He’s not a Republican. He’s a repudiation of Republicans,” he added. “But they will reap the benefit of his victory, in all of their cynicism and...I will guarantee you Republicans are going to come to Jesus now about the power of government.” The talk show host also questioned why nobody ever asked Trump “WHAT IS IT THAT MAKES AMERICA GREAT,” but just repeated his campaign slogan instead.
Stewart also urged Democrats to stop generalising about Trump supporters. “I thought Donald Trump disqualified himself at numerous points. But there is now this idea that anyone who voted for him has to be defined by the worst of his rhetoric,” he said.
“In the liberal community, you hate this idea of creating people as a monolith. Don’t look as Muslims as a monolith. They are the individuals and it would be ignorance. But everybody who voted for Trump is a monolith, is a racist. That hypocrisy is also real in our country.”
