“Daily Show” correspondent Michael Kosta had to spell out to President Donald Trump an apparently obvious point about the war in Iran on Tuesday, after reports indicated that the president had a less-than-friendly call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“It seems that Trump is starting to suspect that Netanyahu might be deliberately derailing the peace talks just to keep the United States in the war, to which I’d like to say, ding, ding, ding, dumbass,” Kosta said.
An exasperated Kosta then asked why Trump always seems to be the last person to arrive at an obvious conclusion.
“Why are we always watching Donald Trump discover shit that everyone else knew this whole time?” Kosta said. “He had no idea that peace in the Middle East is hard. He had no idea that the Strait of Hormuz is where oil goes through.”
“And now he’s like, wait a minute, does anyone else think the international war criminal is kind of shady?” Kosta continued, referring to Netanyahu.
Axios reported on Monday that Trump and Netanyahu had a particularly contentious chat earlier this week, with the president reportedly calling the Israeli prime minister “fucking crazy.”
“You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me. I’m saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this,” Trump reportedly told Netanyahu on the call.
The conversation between the world leaders came after Iranian officials indicated they’d suspend peace talks with the United States due to Israel’s continued offensive in Lebanon against Hezbollah.
