comedyJul 21, 2026364,762

Jon Stewart tore into Donald Trump on The Daily Show after Trump lingered on the stage during Spain’s World Cup trophy ceremony following Spain’s 1-0 win over Argentina. Stewart said the trophy moment is meant only for players and blasted Trump’s presence as driven by an “overinflated ego,” labeling him “Cankles Muldoon.” Stewart mocked Trump’s postgame claim that the event was “four times greater than any FIFA ever held,” noting Trump later upgraded that to “probably about five times,” and called him “a little baby” for surrounding himself with sycophants. Stewart also targeted the halftime show, joking the final was a “reverse Super Bowl” with players speaking Spanish and halftime performers in English. After airing footage of the ceremony, Stewart paused his other jokes when he spotted a man walking into the frame behind Trump, then pursued a “back-up Trump” gag, a turn reported by Mediaite. The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11 p.m. ET on Comedy Central.
