He said the goal of the press conference was to make everyone forget about the past fighting between the two. Noah said Trump accomplished that by creating a "new issue" when discussing U.S. soldiers that were killed in Niger.

"He did a good job, he made people forget the same way he usually makes people forget about any issue, by creating an entirely new issue," he said.

Noah referenced Trump's comments when he was asked about the soldiers who were killed in Niger, in which Trump claimed former President Obama and other past presidents have not called the families of fallen soldiers. The claim sparked controversy, and Trump later said he was "told" Obama didn't call often.

Obama's aides quickly pushed back on the claim.

“This day was supposed to be about showing off unity. Instead, the Trump train derailed what was supposed to be a simple photo opportunity," Noah said.

"I don’t know why Republicans insist on letting Donald Trump speak. They should just stage relationship paparazzi pictures. That's all you need. I can see it now: Trump and McConnell sharing a milkshake. People will be like, ‘Wow, could this be tax reform?’ ” Noah joked.

During the press conference Monday, McConnell and Trump said their relationship is good and insisted they have the same agenda.

“The relationship is good,” Trump said Monday. “We’re fighting for the same thing.”
