“ Daily Show ” correspondent Desi Lydic mocked Donald Trump for a “glitch” in his mouth after the former president’s rambling and slurry performance during Monday’s interview with Elon Musk . The discussion was marred by technical problems on X early on, which Musk claimed was part of a denial-of-service attack on his company while Trump’s backers, such as RNC co-chair Lara Trump , claimed the “ deep state ” was behind it. “That’s right, only the deep state could make Elon Musk’s website suck,” Lydic said sarcastically.
“But if there’s a deep state trying to silence Donald Trump, you suck at your job, OK? Because he is the opposite of silent. There is no one more un-silent than Donald Trump right now.” Lydic then delivered a message straight to the deep state.
“Do better!” she said. When he was president, Trump often complained that a vague and shadowy “ deep state ” operation within the government was working to undermine him. See more in her Tuesday night monologue: Related From Our Partner.
