Jon Stewart: Donald Trump Should Be Flattered by Sebastian Stan Portrayal

Jon Stewart Talks ‘The Apprentice’ Starring Sebastian Stan

When Jon Stewart took his seat at The Daily Show, he delved into the topic of The Apprentice, but not the reality TV show featuring former President Donald Trump. This time, it was about the new movie starring Sebastian Stan. A representative for the Republican presidential nominee labeled the film as “election interference.”

Sebastian Stan as the Election Interference?

Stewart quipped, “That’s election interference? Maybe it is, but isn’t it flattering to be portrayed by Sebastian Stan?”

Stewart gazed fondly at a photo of the actor.

“Oh, Sebastian, if you are the Winter Soldier,” he chuckled, referencing Stan’s Marvel character, “why is it suddenly so warm in here?”

Mocking Election Interference

Stewart highlighted the former president’s accusations of election interference and his implications of punishment like imprisonment, lawsuits, or censorship.

He proceeded to play a clip featuring Elon Musk at a recent rally with Trump, where Musk supported the candidate due to his concerns about freedom of speech being at risk.

Questionable Support

Expressing surprise, Stewart pointed out Trump’s unexpected tolerance towards Musk, who was incentivizing individuals to encourage voting in swing states.

Disbelieving, Stewart responded to the situation.

Challenging Hypocrisy

Stewart criticized the unequal treatment of those disapproved by Trump, illustrating that true free speech should be universal, regardless of affiliation.

He also poked fun at Musk’s energetic presence on stage at the rally.

Disturbed by Alexa’s Bias

Sharing his astonishment, Stewart concurred with the Trump campaign’s observation that Amazon’s Alexa did not offer reasons to vote for Trump but did so for Vice President Kamala Harris.

“That’s messed up!” Stewart exclaimed.
