Trump Slurs His Way Through a Profound Policy Shift

Trevor Noah reacted with alarm to President Trump’s decision on Wednesday to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel — a move that reverses seven decades of U.S. policy and threatens to further destabilize the Middle East.

“Moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem is like getting an apartment in your ex-girlfriend’s building. It’s not technically illegal, but you’re trying to start some [expletive].” — TREVOR NOAH “I’m not saying I know how to solve the Middle East crisis, but I know how you break it — this is how. Trump probably wants to put out the California fires by throwing Samsung phones at them. What are you doing?” — TREVOR NOAH

Mr. Noah couldn’t help taking a moment to point out that Mr. Trump had been slurring his words toward the end of his speech recognizing Jerusalem. He wondered if Mr. Trump might have been wearing dentures that came loose — and may have started a new hashtag.
