Donald Trump’s recent promise to give an “intellectual” speech on the economy while campaigning in North Carolina on Wednesday resulted — somewhat unsurprisingly — in the former president and Republican presidential candidate waffling on about Joe Biden, Kamala Harris’ laugh, and even Barack Obama.
“Girl, you gotta move on. He does not think about you,” says Daily Show host Desi Lydic in the clip above, playing a sequence of clips from Trump’s speech while offering her own exasperated commentary.
In the final clip Trump holds up two boxes of Tic Tacs, one bigger and one smaller, as an apparent example of “inflation”.
“That is not an example of inflation, that’s just two different sizes of breath mints,” says Lydic. “I mean my understanding of macro economics is limited, but I do know for a f***ing fact that inflation is not defined as big Tic Tac, little Tic Tac.”
