Jon Stewart, the host of 'The Daily Show,' took a swipe at former President Donald Trump's golfing abilities after his recent victories at his Palm Beach golf club. Returning to the show after a nine-year hiatus, Stewart has been vocal about his criticism of both Biden and Trump. However, this week, he particularly focused on ridiculing Trump, highlighting everything from his prowess on the golf course to his ongoing civil fraud trial.

On Monday night's episode, Stewart opened the show by showcasing a news clip of Trump golfing at his club in Florida. He then turned the audience's attention to Trump's post on Truth Social, where the former President expressed his delight in winning the Club Championship Trophy and the Senior Club Championship Trophy. Stewart sarcastically remarked, "That's right woke libs. You think Donald Trump is a loser? Well, would a loser brag about winning a golf tournament at his own course? I don't think so."

Continuing his mockery, Stewart suggested that Trump has an advantage when playing golf – his physique. He humorously alluded to opponents getting distracted by staring at Trump's behind while he plays, drawing laughter from the audience. Stewart shared a photo of Trump swinging a club from behind and jokingly pretended to grope the image.

Taking his comedic banter a step further, Stewart claimed that Trump is one of the "few talented golfers who has a thick a** and a front butt." He presented a photo of Trump's golf pants with a distinctive pouch around the crotch area, stating that it helps with his center of gravity, comparing it to being on a Hippity Hop.

Shifting gears, Stewart addressed the coverage of Trump's ongoing civil fraud trial in New York. He criticized Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary for his remarks about the charges against Trump, calling him an "a******." Stewart shared the sentiment that others on Shark Tank considered O'Leary to be unpleasant as well.

The talk show host's mockery of Trump's golfing triumphs is not the only one. A viral video on X, formerly Twitter, over the weekend also poked fun at Trump's reaction after sinking a putt. Even President Joe Biden joined in on the teasing, sarcastically congratulating Trump on his accomplishments when sharing his Truth Social post.

Newsweek has reached out to both Jon Stewart and Donald Trump for comments on these comedic jabs. Stewart's return to 'The Daily Show' has proven to be entertaining for viewers, as he fearlessly takes on political figures and spares no punches when delivering his satirical commentary.
