Unity, ‘Derailed’

President Trump’s attempt to show camaraderie with Senator Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader, might have backfired on Monday: He spent most of a 45-minute news conference in long-winded exchanges with reporters, while Mr. McConnell looked on awkwardly.

On “The Daily Show,” broadcasting this week from Chicago, Trevor Noah said he was surprised Republicans hadn’t begun to prevent Mr. Trump from public speaking altogether.

“This day was supposed to be about showing off unity. Instead the Trump train derailed what was supposed to be a simple photo opportunity. I don’t know why Republicans insist on letting Donald Trump speak. They should just stage relationship paparazzi pictures. I can see it now: Trump and McConnell sharing a milkshake. People will be like, ‘Wow, could this be tax reform?’” — TREVOR NOAH
