“Daily Show” correspondent Desi Lydic roasted President Donald Trump on Tuesday over his five-day trip to Scotland, a visit he used to play at — and promote — his golf courses.
“Trump is in Scotland right now, seeing as his favorite island destination has been shut down,” she quipped as a picture of Trump with late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein appeared on screen.
The jab comes after Trump — in his meeting with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday — continued to downplay his relationship with Epstein by claiming that he never had “the privilege” of visiting a private island that belonged to his old friend in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Lydic went on to stress that while it’s important for a president traveling overseas to “project strength and dignity,” an “uninvited insect made that a little harder” for Trump this time around.
She then turned to a clip — backed by Donna Summer’s “Hot Stuff” — of Trump swatting the air around his head as he grabbed a golf club from his bag at the opening of his new course in Scotland.
