“Daily Show” correspondent Michael Kosta highlighted one inadvertently positive thing to come from President Donald Trump’s war with Iran, while presenting him with an award he probably doesn’t want.
In honor of Earth Day, Kosta pointed out that the ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply passes, has forced countries to consider alternative energy options as crude oil prices remain high.
“So President Trump, thank you, your thoughtless war is already spurring countries around the world to invest more in wind, solar and all the other forms of energy that you would probably refer to as ‘gay,’” Kosta said.
“I don’t think that was your plan when you started this war, because I’m pretty sure you didn’t have a plan at all. But still, you have, by pure chance, helped the Earth. At this point, you’re basically Captain Planet,” he continued.
Kosta went on to say the praise would likely mean nothing to Trump without an award to go along with it, prompting him to present the president with the “Earth Day Award For Being A Reckless Idiot Who Accidentally Did Something Good.”
“Congratulations, sir,” Kosta concluded.
