In Trump's first 100 days back in the White House, he wreaked havoc on the economy with his tariff rollout, wiped out DEI, and ignored court orders after wrongfully deporting a resident--all while floating the possibility of a third term. Jon Stewart and The Best F**king News team recap it all in Part 2 of Donald Trump's second term (so far). See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Learn more about your ad choices.

Chapter 1: What are the major events from Trump's second term?
Data shows less than 1% of the fentanyl entering the U.S. comes from Canada, and only 1.5% of Border Patrol encounters with migrants take place at the border with Canada. Huh. Okay. So it's not fentanyl or migrants. And it can't be because Trump's an insecure wannabe alpha male thumping his chest so the world pays attention to him. So I guess we'll never know. It's probably Joe Biden.
Whatever it is, Prime Minister Trudeau, he wasn't having it. Today, the United States launched a trade war against Canada. their closest partner and ally, their closest friend. Now I want to speak directly to one specific American. Donald, even though you're a very smart guy, this is a very dumb thing to do. Wow. Wow.
He's mad. And he's not even world leader mad. He's dad mad. This is the same tone I use when I tell my daughter not to throw her baby sister into the crib. You are not that type of person that does this, even though you just did this, and you'll probably keep doing it. But you're not this. Okay, Donald? My daughter's name is Donald. And...
All of Canada is lining up behind Trudeau, like Ontario's premier Doug Ford came out to warn America about the consequences of a trade war, although in a confusing way. The people of the U.S., which I absolutely love the American people, they're going to be paying more. The market is going to go downhill faster than the American bobsled team.
Oh, sick burn. I think. I mean, it sounded like a slam, but if the market will go downhill really fast, that means our bobsled team is also fast. And isn't that like a compliment? Our bobsled team is supposed to go fast, right? Unless he's saying our bobsled team is slow, which is a slam, but then that means the market won't go downhill fast, which is good for our economy.
This metaphor doesn't make any sense. The point is, Doug Ford is forcing me to learn about bobsledding, and I do not appreciate that. Is there a Canadian who can make an analogy that's a little less confusing? Donna Reardon, the mayor of St. John in New Brunswick, maybe you have a good analogy.
I mean, we've been in this comfortable relationship with our American cousins, and now we're being attacked. So, you know, we're breaking up with the U.S., and it's time to move on.
Yeah, we're cousins, but we're... So we're breaking up? This analogy is even worse than the bobsled. You can't break up with your cousin. Sure, you can both go off and get married and start your own families and try to convince yourselves you've moved on, but she's still there at Thanksgiving every year.
Yeah, she brings her new husband and she laughs at his jokes, but deep down you can see in her pale blue eyes that she's sad and I'm sad too, Stephanie. I know she can see it in my eyes, which are the same color as hers, because we're related, and that's... And that's why we can't be together, right? What was I talking about? I'm sorry. Look, that's right.
