Ex-Daily Show host Jon Stewart mocks Trump as ‘poor little billionaire president’ on Howard Stern
LIBERAL ex-Daily Show host Jon Stewart mocked Donald Trump as a "poor little billionaire president" in a lengthy rant on Howard Stern's show on Wednesday.
The comedian, who has frequently attacked Trump and other Republicans, took aim at the president again during an interview with Stern -- who has also bashed Trump in recent months.
The famously liberal satirist was talking about people in show business and how they handle criticism – and how people can become bitter.
He then mentioned President Trump, and how he's "the ultimate victim."
"Let's take Trump as an example. He is the ultimate victim, right?" Stewart said.
"It's... everything is against him. Poor little billionaire president. Billionaire president. You're the billionaire president," Stewart said.
He questioned: "What are you so f***ing mad about? That people are so mean to you?"
Stewart's rant continued by taking aim at people try to label the president a "counter-puncher," but said that "a counter-puncher is a strategic carry of an attack to try and get a precise shot and to defend yourself."
"He doesn't know the difference between an attack, a personal attack, a criticism, a constructive criticism, or just praise that's not worshipful enough to satisfy that empty chasm of his soul," Stewart said of Trump.
Stewart then said "what you begin to realize is, there is no 'enough.'"
He said for Trump and others with similar status, "it's not about a criticism."
"It's the deep abscess that once your name is giant on buildings, and you're the president and you s**t on a gold toilet, like at a certain point, you can't go like 'Why is everybody so mean to me?'" Stewart said.
"Suck it up, suck it up champ," he said, addressing Trump.
Stewart continued, referencing Trump's alleged affair with Stormy Daniels as an example of how he's lived a life of "no accountability."
Daniels has alleged she was paid off with $130,000 from Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, who was reimbursed.
She claimed she was forced to sign a non-disclosure agreement for the incident, which is alleged to have happened while Trump was married to now First Lady, Melania Trump.
Trump has denied the claims.
"So, what would you learn from that?” Stewart asked.

"His life is a series of doing these f***ing crazy things, and never being held to account.
"There's never a consequence," Stewart added.
