“The Daily Show” host Josh Johnson wouldn’t even cut Donald Trump slack for correctly saying a word of many syllables on Thursday. And it was pretty funny.

The president has certainly struggled with nonexistent words and typos, but in this instance, he stuck to actual English in updating reporters on peace talks with Iran.

In a clip cued up by the show, Trump said, “We’re having talks with them now. We’re not flying anymore with 18-hour flights every time we want to see a piece of paper. We’re doing it telephonically. And it’s very nice.”

Johnson made a cringe face to milk the laughs.

“Telephonically?” the comedian said. “Damn, that’s an impressive word, yo. Makes anyone with a phone sound like a wizard. ”

Pretending to have an exchange with a pizza parlor, he said, “I ordered a large meat lover’s telephonically.”

“Now, to be clear, that is a word,” the host continued. “But he didn’t know that. He talks the way I play Scrabble, you know? Just like, ‘Oh, wow. I was just throwing letters together. How many points is that?’”
