‘That’s Election Interference?’: Jon Stewart Says Donald Trump Should Be ‘Flattered’ By Sebastian Stan’s Portrayal Of Him On The Apprentice

As a long-time fan of The Daily Show and a keen observer of American politics, I find Jon Stewart’s recent episode both entertaining and insightful. His ability to navigate complex political issues with humor is unparalleled, and this episode was no exception.


In a recent episode of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart joked about Sebastian Stan’s portrayal of former President Donald Trump in the upcoming film The Apprentice.

The movie, not linked to Donald Trump’s television show, has ignited anger from his campaign team, who view it as meddling in the elections. In contrast, Stewart adopted a less serious tone, suggesting that Trump ought to feel honored by Stan’s portrayal.

During the performance, Stewart sarcastically questioned the assertion that Stan’s representation could be seen as meddling in elections. “Is that electoral interference?” he quipped, expressing his skepticism towards such allegations.

He added, “Perhaps it was election interference. Yet, consider this amusing angle: maybe you should feel a bit flattered for having Sebastian Stan involved in your narrative, as his association might boost your popularity.

Additionally, Stewart took advantage of the opportunity to highlight Trump’s relationship with Elon Musk, the latest addition to Trump’s entourage at a recent rally. Musk expressed his backing for Trump by stating, “The opposing side aims to strip you of your right to free speech.

Stewart, on the other hand, showed little enthusiasm. He countered, “Elon, didn’t you catch the rest of the program? A film that Trump dislikes will likely face a lawsuit.” Stewart challenged the notion that free speech only applies to Trump supporters without repercussions, stating, “That’s not how it actually operates.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I found myself chuckling during a lively segment where Stewart playfully poked fun at Musk’s energetic appearance at the Trump rally. In a witty remark, he jested, “I can’t quite grasp how [Trump’s] advocacy for free speech deserves such applause.

His words showed that he was unsure about Elon Musk’s commitment to freedom of expression, given that the candidate he supports has initiated lawsuits against people with opposing views.

It’s worth noting that Stewart shared similar views with the Trump campaign regarding a recent study about Amazon’s Alexa. The report suggested that Alexa doesn’t provide reasons to support Trump, whereas it shows stronger backing for Vice President Kamala Harris. Stewart responded, “Alright, I’ll concede that point. That’s unfair!
