Stewart previously played a montage of Democratic and liberal speakers comparing Trump to Adolf Hitler and Vladimir Putin. The summary also shows that Trump is a “threat to democracy” and warns that if elected he would cause “irreparable” damage to the country.
But Stewart later said that Scarborough and Brzezinski, his “Morning Joe” co-hosts, met with President Trump at Mar-a-Lago last week to resume communications after seven years. A video of the announcement was shown. As Blaze News reported this week, Brzezinski said the meeting was an effort to “reopen communication” with Trump, who has been highly critical of the president since his election in 2016. .
“We have now discussed many issues, including abortion, mass deportations, and the threat of political retaliation against political opponents and the press,” Scarborough said. “We talked about it a lot. And if you've been watching the show, or have been watching the show over the past year or even the past 10 years, you know that we see eye to eye on a lot of issues. I guess it's no surprise that there wasn't.'' And we told him that. ”
“Joe and I went to Mar-a-Lago to meet President-elect Trump privately,” Brzezinski said. “And I think for those of you who ask me why I'm going to go talk to the president-elect, especially among us, during these difficult times, I think I'll ask back, why not?”
Stewart retorted, “Yeah, because you said he was Hitler.”

Stewart also ridiculed Democratic politicians who are trying to “cope” with their disastrous defeats by emphasizing seemingly insignificant accomplishments.

Stewart quipped, “Yeah, the word 'almost' has a lot of effect in this sentence. 'Yes, we almost regained what we lost.'”
He accused Democrats of trying to “twist” a situation that is “obviously not good news.”
“It's a new dynamic, a deliberately upbeat take on this shitty show, a new segment we're calling 'The Audacity Coop,'” the host of “The Daily Show” said. It is something to celebrate.”
Stewart noted that progressive Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) is among the new Democratic members of the House of Representatives, including the “first transgender member” and the “youngest elected member in history”.

Stewart joked, “Wait until you hear this record-breaking young phenom from New Jersey is 38 years old! 38 years old! How far does this go? 'Oh, Illinois elected Ginger!'” .

Stewart called Trump's cabinet choices, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., former congressman Matt Gaetz and Fox News host Pete Hegseth, “provocative and unconventional.” The liberal talk show host claimed that Republicans would force through loopholes in Cabinet appointments.
“Democrats are willing to use the Senate's vaunted constitutional provisions as guardrails against this madness,” Stewart said of the Trump administration's cabinet nominees. “That's our government in a nutshell. The rules say, 'We can stop it.' The loopholes say, 'Fuck you!' So what is the final refuge of losers? That's the norm. ”

Stewart advised Democrats, “You guys are loophole guys trying to figure out how to get things done. [Republicans] Don't worry about your own norms. ”
