Jon Stewart was interviewed on <span><em>The Axe Files<\/em><\/span>, David Axelrod\u2019s podcast interview show. Axelrod\u2019s show is pretty good as his access to guests from Nancy Pelosi to CNN\u2019s Anderson Cooper, and the respect he\u2019s earned for being President Barack Obama\u2019s Chief Campaign Strategist, gives his shows a certain gravitas. The interview covered quite a few topics but, being both political animals, it was only a matter of time before they spoke about Donald Trump (about two minutes). Axelrod made the joke that Stewart, when retiring from the <span><em>Daily Show,<\/em><\/span> had said that he had seen quite a few elections and the one coming up wasn\u2019t going to be any \u201cdifferent.\u201d This gets a laugh from the audience but Stewart isn\u2019t laughing because he does not think there\u2019s anything new about Trump.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: ; margin: 0in 0in 0in 0.375in; line-height: normal\"><font style=\"font-size: 10pt\">I mean we talk about it like it\u2019s something incredibly different, but in truth, how different is it, really? The media, as usual [is] focused on the wrong things and abdicating responsibility for the general filtration of toxicity. You have enormous amounts of money flowing into crazy people who are channeling populism of years past. I mean, if you took Sarah Palin\u2019s head and jammed it on Trump\u2019s body, would it make any more sense? <\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: ; margin: 0in; line-height: normal\"><font style=\"font-size: 10pt\">Stewart spoke initially about the traditional media\u2019s inability to cover the veracity of Trump\u2019s statements\u2026<\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-family: ; margin: 0in; line-height: normal\"><font style=\"font-size: 10pt\">&#160;<\/font><\/p>\n<p>Inserted from &lt;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailykos.com\/stories\/2016\/5\/10\/1525046\/-Jon-Stewrt-analyzes-explains-and-destroys-Donald-Trump-and-the-Republican-Party\" target=\"_blank\">Daily Kos<\/a>&gt;<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">Here\u2019s the video:<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/UJnbcn7mZ14?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">When the phone rings at 3:00 AM, and France is threatening to cut off the supply of his favorite hair tonic, do you really want this man-baby to have access to the nuclear football? <\/font><\/p>\n<h1 align=\"center\"><font face=\"Cooper Black\"><font style=\"font-weight: bold\" color=\"#0000ff\" size=\"7\">Vote Blue No Matter Who!!<\/font><\/font><\/h1>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have to say one positive thing about Rump Dump Trump.&#160; Even Bloody Bullseye Barbie, aka Drill Baby Dingbat, has fallen way short of Rump Dump\u2019s ability to present himself as a target sufficiently worthy of ridicule to guarantee full employment for America\u2019s comics.&#160; And some of them use their humor for excellent political commentary, <a href='https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/2016\/05\/12\/stewart-nailed-rump-dump-again\/' class='excerpt-more'>[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35,3,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21822","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-open-thread","category-personal","category-politics","category-35-id","category-3-id","category-5-id","post-seq-1","post-parity-odd","meta-position-corners","fix"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21822","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21822"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21822\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21822"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21822"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21822"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
