Jon Stewart is a happy man. It's because of Donald Trump's decision to run for president and a launch speech he describes as “the most beautifully ridiculous jibber-jabber ever to pour from the mouth of a bat---- billionaire," reports Mediaite. He thanked Trump for "making my last six weeks my best six weeks.” Some other reaction to the new candidate:
- 'Witless ape': A National Review column by Kevin Williamson is headlined "Witless Ape Rides Escalator," which is pretty much all you need to get the gist. That and the last paragraph: "The problem with messiah complexes is that there’s no way to know whether you are going to rise on the third day unless somebody crucifies you. Trump has announced, and I say we get started on that."
