Jon Stewart, host of The Daily Show, lampooned President Trump's authoritarian actions and the excessive sycophancy of his cabinet during a segment on Trump's deportation policies. He expressed disbelief at how quickly Trump's regime has adopted authoritarian characteristics, examining Trump's ostentatious display of wealth, including golden decor in the Oval Office, as emblematic of authoritarianism's aesthetic. Stewart underscored that authoritarianism encompasses more than policiesâit represents a lifestyle amidst a culture of intimidation, questioning whether Trump embodies this through his lavish lifestyle and bizarre behavior.
I think the hosts of The View are about to get administratively errored. I gotta tell you, I did not think he would get this authoritarian this fast.
It's not just policies, it's an aesthetic. The opulence of medieval kings, the excesses of Middle Eastern autocrats. Does Trump measure up?
They've tried to come up with a gold paint that would look like gold...That's why it's gold. That dude is so blue collar.
If someone out there had yelled at me on Bluesky about this I would've known, but no one did, except every day, in all-caps.
