Overview

  • He spotlighted a Scottish reporter’s question about whether the trade deal rush was meant to ‘knock the Epstein story out,’ framing the tariffs tour as a deflection.
  • Stewart ridiculed Trump’s claim that he never went to Epstein’s island and cut ties over staff poaching rather than the trafficking scandal.
  • By showing footage of a golf caddy dropping a ball for the president, he likened Trump’s evasive tactics to a pattern of cheating.
  • The host seized on Trump’s assertion that the sealed files were ‘phony’ following his remark that they were created by ‘the worst scum on Earth,’ exposing the argument’s circular logic.
  • The segment underscores ongoing calls from Trump’s own supporters to unseal grand jury records after a DOJ-FBI memo denied a high-profile client list.
