Jon Stewart zeroes in on Trump’s ‘big butts’ fixation -and does not lie

Comedian Jon Stewart used his Monday Daily Show monologue to mock President Donald Trump for repeatedly commenting on people's backsides while campaigning ahead of next week's midterm elections. The Independent reports that at no fewer than four rallies this month, the 80-year-old president has remarked on the physique of Ohio Senator John Husted, telling a Kentucky crowd he had studied it closely. A week afterward in Michigan, he praised the rear end of rapper Nicki Minaj, who has called herself his "number one fan" and attended the October 25 event.

Stewart opened by joking that voters were oddly preoccupied with the economy, living costs and the war in Iran, then played a compilation of Trump's remarks. He noted that a backside is, in fact, a large muscle, and appeared stunned by the Minaj footage. He also pointed to Trump's expression as Minaj spoke onstage, likening it to a cartoon bear drifting toward a pie.

The Independent has asked the White House for comment. Trump has previously called Stewart overrated and a phony.
