Jon Stewart isn’t ready to give up on America after Donald Trump.
On Wednesday’s episode of his “Weekly Show” podcast, Stewart said he disagreed with a listener who questioned whether the U.S. is totally “fucked” due to the “damage” caused by the president.
“Hard pass on that. No! What? No! I’m not saying he’s not going to do grievous damage but isn’t that what you do after a devastating storm? You rebuild. You put in the work and you make some changes to the grid,” he said.
Stewart contended that a post-Trump fix-up may not occur in a week. He pointed to the Reconstruction era following the Civil War as an example why rebuilds don’t “always go the way you want it to go.”
“Anything that he does can be redone and done better,” insisted Stewart of Trump.
