The latest alleged scandal surrounding the President of the United States and Russia has Trevor Noah wondering, yet again: Is Donald Trump being sneaky or is he just plain incompetent.
During Tuesday’s episode of “The Daily Show,” Noah tried to make sense of the report published this week by the Washington Post that revealed that Trump allegedly disclosed highly classified information to a Russian official.
“How are we not getting this? How are we still confused by this?” Noah said. “No one wants Russians getting information! It doesn’t matter what the information is! ... If you tell the Russians, it’s not going to end well.”
Noah’s humor was replaced with frustration halfway through the segment when he discussed how Trump’s loose lips could compromise America’s own safety.
If the U.S.’s allies can’t trust the president to keep secrets, Noah explained, then countries might not share valuable intel with the government at all, potentially shutting America out completely from global security talks.
“The whole idea of Trump is a lie, even by his own standards,” Noah stated “He’s complete bullshit.”
He further explained that Trump essentially broke his promise to protect the country at all costs ― which he touted throughout his campaign ― by spilling confidential information to Russian officials.
“So, here we are once again people. The eternal question: Is Trump incompetent or did he purposefully collude with the Russians to give them information?” Noah said. “Nobody knows.”
The host of “The Daily Show” does have a theory, though. Watch the clip to find out what it is.
