Jon Stewart was asked to imagine what Donald Trump's recent boast about his "exceptionally high intelligence" would look like on the cult TV show "Jeopardy!".
The Daily Show host made no secret of how bad he thought things would have been for the president.
Politics: Trump says he will nominate Todd Blanche for attorney general, Knicks win first game of 2026 NBA Finals: live streams.
Stewart joked that Trump would simply "blurt out" answers instead of waiting for the right moment, and then launched into his theory:
«"I've always thought this about intelligence—so where is your brain? It's your head. … If you imagine it like a New York City apartment building, it's a water tower. And what's the most important thing in a water tower? Pressure and hydraulics. And what does Trump have? Chronic venous insufficiency. He has terrible water pressure!"»
Stewart was referring to the diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), announced by the White House last year. The condition causes swelling in the legs and ankles, and according to the president's physician, the president's condition has improved, according to a recent medical examination report.
The comedian continued:
Politics: Senate Republicans have removed ballroom funding from the immigration bill.
«"So what's going on? ... There's no water pressure, no proper shower, and flushing the toilet is pretty difficult. So, from a Jeopardy! perspective, this guy has no water pressure.".
The conversation between Stewart and his producers then turned to Trump's recent explanation of how he came up with the slur "Democrat" and his claim that many people don't know there's a "b" in the word "dumb.".
«How can this be true?» he asked.
