Jon Stewart tore into President Donald Trump on The Daily Show after Trump lingered on stage at Spain’s World Cup celebration following Spain’s 1-0 win over Argentina. Stewart called Trump’s presence on the players' stage inappropriate, yelling "What the f--k are you doing on the stage? It’s for the players," and mocked Trump’s "overinflated ego," nicknaming him "Cankles Muldoon." Stewart ridiculed Trump's postmatch claim that the event was "four times greater than any FIFA ever held," noting Trump later said it was "probably about five times" better and asking "Is that what they told you?" He also paused the segment after spotting a nearly identical-looking man walk behind Trump and quipped, "Is that a back-up Trump?" Stewart closed with jokes about the World Cup halftime show, referencing Madonna, Justin Bieber, and the Muppets. The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11 p.m. ET on Comedy Central.
