“Daily Show” host Jon Stewart was shocked on Monday by reports that President Donald Trump offered to sell U.S. arms to Chinese President Xi Jinping during his visit to Washington, D.C., last week. “What the fuck?” an exasperated Stewart said while putting his hands on his head. “How does America even stay on the map sometimes? I don’t even...How do we not just slide into the sea?” The supposed offer, which was recounted by U.S. Ambassador to China David Perdue, came amid reports that China was supplying Iran with weapons, intelligence and oil deals. “I gotta hear it from the president himself,” Stewart said. “I won’t believe it. Did Trump really offer to sell weapons to China?” Stewart then rolled a clip of reporters asking Trump about the supposed offer. “I never heard of that one. I’m gonna have to ask him,” Trump said. “Now, they’d probably like to buy it because we do make better equipment than them. So maybe it’s a good idea.” That line convinced Stewart. “He totally fucking offered them weapons,” Stewart said. “Oh my go― You can almost see Trump trying to do the math in his head: ‘Well, if Iran beats us with weapons that we make, it’s kind of like we won the war. I’m in.’” See more in his Monday night “Daily Show” monologue: By entering your email and clicking Sign Up, you're agreeing to let us send you customized marketing messages about us and our advertising partners.
