Jon Stewart Makes Terrifying Prediction

TV host Jon Stewart has issued a grim warning about how he believes Donald Trump’s presidency might end. Speaking on The Bill Simmons Podcast, Stewart criticized Trump’s $2 billion lawsuit against CBS News and Paramount, calling it an attack on free media following an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. He described Trump’s actions as demanding loyalty, saying it feels like “all must pay tribute to the king.” Stewart expressed uncertainty about the future of The Daily Show, joking it might disappear if bought out by owners uninterested in it.

Stewart argued that Trump’s lawsuit is based on subjective editorial decisions, not libel or slander, and warned of the dangerous precedent it sets. He questioned whether Trump might metaphorically “burn the country down for insurance money.” He also mocked Trump’s self-praise of his first 100 days in office, comparing it to a bizarre fantasy where America lands on the moon and kills Bin Laden in one mission. Stewart’s overall message painted a troubling picture of Trump’s influence on democracy and the media.
