Jon Stewart Criticizes Trump for Tainting Spain’s World Cup Victory With His ‘Overinflated Ego’ 
The Daily Show host also took aim at the president's administration not being "as competent as we've been led to believe" 
Jon Stewart yet again took aim at Donald Trump on a new episode of The Daily Show, this time for inserting himself in Spain’s triumph at the World Cup final on Sunday night. 
“The Spain-Argentina final was like a reverse Super Bowl where the players spoke Spanish and the halftime show was in English,” Stewart quipped. 
“They had Madonna and Justin Bieber and, for some reason, the Muppets.” 
The host explained that Spain, “clearly the best team in this year’s tournament,” celebrated their win with a trophy hoist. 
For some reason, Trump was involved in that hoist. 
“Traditionally, it’s a moment that is shared really only by the players,” Stewart explained. 
“A special moment that is only for the players, that is really, just…” He shared a clip of Trump, who had been booed earlier in the day, joining the team on stage. 
“What the fuck are you doing on the stage?” 
Stewart continued. 
“It’s for the players. 
God damn! 
Why must everything be tainted by the overinflated ego of Cankles Muldoon? 
Why? 
Why?” 
Stewart added, “I will admit this. 
Afterwards, Trump had some really insightful post-game analysis.” 
He played a clip of Trump saying that the sporting event had been “four times greater than any FIFA ever held.” 
“What’s a FIFA? 
How do you hold a FIFA? 
How could our FIFA be four times greater than any other FIFA?” 
Stewart asked. 
Trump continued, “And it’s probably about five times, actually, they’re telling me today.” 
Stewart responded, “Is that what they told you? 
You know, they’re telling you that because everyone around you lies to you, because you’re a little baby.” 
Elsewhere during his monologue Stewart discussed the current state of the Iran war and Trump’s continued fixation on the 2020 election. 
He also described the administration’s so-called “meritocracy,” which doesn’t seem to have emerged. 
After recounting issues with the FDA and the reflecting pool, Stewart said, “I’m starting to get the sense that this administration is not as competent as we’ve been led to believe. 
And it’s not just the pool or the diarrhea.” 
He continued, “Trump said he was going to cut our energy bills in half. 
Electricity is up 18 percent. 
He said gas prices would go below $2 a gallon. 
It’s up to $4 a gallon. 
He said he was going to stop new wars. 
He’s bombed at least seven other countries. 
He said he was going to lead a boom in manufacturing jobs. 
We’ve lost tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs. 
… This country was going to enter a golden age because only qualified people would be in charge now. 
They promised. 
No more of the woke bullshit that had held this country down for so long.” 
After sharing a clip of Trump promising a meritocracy, Stewart replied, “Where is this meritocracy? 
We have seen no evidence of it. 
None! 
It’s just another word.”
