Description

Desi Lydic covers Trump's state visit to South Korea, where he was honored with a "Yas King" rally, a golden crown, and the unofficial U.S. presidential anthem, "YMCA." Meanwhile, millions of Trump's constituents face a hunger crisis as SNAP benefits run out of funding due to the never-ending shutdown, and the GOP pretends there's nothing they can do about it. Not to worry, though, because Michael Kosta has a list of billionaire sugar daddies who are happy to step in and help, as long as Americans don't mind getting a little freaky. #DailyShow #Trump #NoKings #SouthKorea 0:00 - Trump's Asia Trip Brings Him to South Korea 1:00 - South Korea Presents President Trump with a Golden Crown 2:06 - SNAP Benefits on Track to Run Out November 1 5:32 - Citizens Band Together to Hand Out Food Amid SNAP Cutoff 6:25 - Michael Kosta Weighs in on Shutdown and SNAP Panic Subscribe to The Daily Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA/?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Daily Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailyshow Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: http://www.paramountplus.com/thedailyshow Follow Comedy Central: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ComedyCentral Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ComedyCentral Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comedycentral About The Daily Show: Jon Stewart and The Best F**king News Team host The Daily Show, an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning program analyzing the biggest stories in news, politics, and culture through a sharp, satirical lens.

South Korea is smart. They rather give him a replica golden crown than the $350b of investment that he demanded from them.

*한국인은 두번 왕을 내쫓았고 미국인은 두번 왕을 뽑았다* Koreans have overthrown their kings twice, while Americans have elected their kings twice.

As Korean I must say this; We didn't elect Trump. You can't blame us for all the charades because we are just victims.

The real joke here is how often Americans shift blame onto other countries instead of recognizing their own faults.

Electing Trump as the president even twice is the obvious evidence of lack of intelligence among ordinary American citizens

우리가 어떻게 탄핵해야 하는지 알려줬잖아. 방법 다 알려줬는데 뭐하냐? 너네가 투표 잘못해서 전세계가 고생중인데 너네 숙제는 너네가 해야 하는 거 아니냐?

Korea just conducted diplomatic actions for its national interests. Don't tell us what to do. Just vote properly or impeach him or whatever.

I feel really disgusting to hear "Just give him money, and don't do anything" It's not a pocket money for a child. It's TAX paid by Koreans.

“They say once is a mistake, twice is a choice. But after four years of knowing Trump, America still chose him again. Have you no shame?”

At least South Korea knows how to impeach criminal heads of state.
