In a recent episode of his podcast, The Weekly Show With Jon Stewart, the renowned comedian and former host of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart, called out President Donald Trump for his claim of respecting former President Barack Obama and his family. Trump had made these comments during an interview with CNN on Tuesday, stating that he liked Obama and considered him a "nice gentleman."

However, Stewart wasted no time in reminding listeners of Trump's history of publicly smearing the Obama family during their time in the White House. The comedian denounced the "disgusting treatment" that the Obamas endured, highlighting the personal and conspiratorial nature of the attacks they faced. He emphasized that Trump's positive remarks now hold no weight in light of his past actions, stating, "Trump yesterday [said], 'I've got a lot of respect for the Obamas - bulls--t.'"

This criticism from Stewart comes following Obama's recent Democratic National Convention speech, during which he made a hand gesture that many perceived as a joke about Trump's manhood. Trump responded by calling Obama "very nasty" during a rally in North Carolina the next day. The back-and-forth between the two leaders escalated, with Trump expressing frustration at Obama's personal remarks and mocking his advisors for urging him to focus on policy.

Stewart used Trump's history of attacking the Obama family to shed light on Michelle Obama's decision to avoid seeking political office, despite popular demand. Despite numerous polls indicating that she would win by a landslide, Stewart speculated that Michelle Obama is likely reluctant due to the toll politics has taken on her and her family. "I imagine for her, she thought, 'We've given our pound of flesh to this endeavor,' and I don't want any part of that anymore," Stewart acknowledged.

Stewart had nothing but praise for Michelle Obama's speech at the DNC, recognizing the overwhelmingly positive response it received. However, he also pointed out the reality behind her desire to distance herself from politics.

As the political landscape continues to heat up ahead of the upcoming elections, Stewart's candid assessment highlights the ongoing tension between Trump and the Obamas. The comedian's critique sheds light on the inconsistency of Trump's claims of respect, emphasizing the deeply personal attacks endured by the former first family during their time in the White House.

In the face of these controversies, the Obamas remain influential figures in American politics, inspiring passionate responses from supporters and critics alike.
