Jon Stewart Shares Candid Response to Trump’s AI-Created Star Wars Meme

Donald Trump’s social media team has been experimenting with AI again, recently posting an image of the president holding a lightsaber on the official White House X account to mark Star Wars Day (May the Fourth…) over the weekend. As Jon Stewart discusses in the Daily Show monologue above, there’s a significant detail they seem to have missed. “I know I’m not meant to get distracted, but he’s not a Jedi in that picture!” Stewart exclaims. “Do you understand? Trump is presenting himself as a Jedi, but his lightsaber is red. The only way you can have a red lightsaber is by infusing its kyber crystal with the power of your rage and hate, thereby corrupting it into a vessel for the Dark Side. Therefore, every one of those photos that Trump is putting out there is an admission that he’s not a Jedi but, in fact, a Sith Lord!”
