Jon Stewart breaks down how many authoritarian leader boxes Trump is ticking

Jon Stewart has had plenty to roast Trump and his cabinet for recently, from leaking its own military plans to tanking the stock market.

On Monday’s edition of The Daily Show, though, he took a look at Trump’s overall leadership style with a segment called “How authoritarian is we?”

“We already know Trump’s done a lot of the standard fare,” says Stewart. “He’s attacked the free press, pulled random people off the streets, made law firms and universities bend the knee, announced Department of Justice investigations into an individual whose sole crime was suggesting the 2020 election had been safe and well administered.”

Taking that as a starting point, Stewart proceeds to go through some more criteria, from the aesthetics (cue a clip of Trump gleefully showing off the gold angel statues in the Oval Office) to the “embarrassingly sycophantic” people around him (cue a clip of Trump’s cabinet furiously complimenting the excellent work he’s doing).

The list, unfortunately, only gets longer from there.
