Jon Stewart Jokes That Trump Is on Psychedelics at Bill Signing
In a recent episode of “The Daily Show,” host Jon Stewart took a humorous jab at President Donald Trump for his behavior during a bill signing. The bill in question fast-tracks the FDA process for novel psychedelic drug treatments for veterans suffering from PTSD and other psychiatric conditions.
During the show, Trump discussed a study on the psychoactive drug ibogaine, noting its effectiveness in reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety. Stewart jokingly remarked on Trump’s interest in trying the drug himself, poking fun at the idea of the president being depressed.
Stewart also highlighted moments in the Oval Office that shed light on Trump’s psyche, particularly his busy schedule as a coping mechanism for any potential depression. The host humorously speculated on what Trump’s behavior would be like if he were to take hallucinogens, suggesting that perhaps he already has given his intense focus on signing the bill.
The episode showed Trump taking his time to sign the psychedelics bill, proudly displaying his signature before making a quip about Joe Biden’s own signing abilities. Stewart found the whole scene to be odd but ultimately commended Trump for signing the bill, emphasizing that his comments were not politically motivated.
Overall, the segment provided a light-hearted take on a serious issue, with Stewart’s comedic commentary adding a touch of levity to the discussion. Watch the full monologue on “The Daily Show” for a good laugh.
