On Wednesday’s Daily Show, Trevor Noah made it clear that in his mind the biggest problem with President-elect Donald Trump is his natural tendency to not simply exaggerate or manipulate the truth, but invent it altogether.

“I believe that Donald Trump has created his own universe,” Noah said. “Within that universe, he takes a made-up idea, throws it at us in the real world, and whether we can prove him wrong or not, it doesn’t matter. We’ve lost. Because now, we’re in his universe … He could tweet anything. He could tweet that goblins are faster than unicorns, and the next day the news would lose their minds. CNN would bring out a hologram unicorn, Don Lemon would host a panel where people would argue about goblins, and after all that Trump would just tweet that the news is bad at journalism because they can’t prove their claims – claims no one could prove because Trump invented them.”
