Jon Stewart Rips Trump’s ‘Quick Onset Dementia’ Reaction to Leak

Summary

Jon Stewart mocked Donald Trump’s reaction to the war plan leak, accusing him of exhibiting "quick onset dementia" whenever faced with accountability.

Stewart noted Trump’s aloof response to the security breach, where classified war plans were leaked via a Signal group chat mistakenly including a journalist.

Stewart criticized Trump’s repeated denial pattern, comparing it to previous instances where Trump distanced himself from controversial actions.

He also condemned the "crazy arrogance" of officials involved in the chat, calling the situation a major national security blunder.

I can’t get the link to load. Did Stewart criticize the decision to bomb Yemen?
- I can't imagine he's in favor of bombing Yemen. Trying to gotcha your allies is so tiring. Leftists are their own biggest enemies

  That wasn’t a gotcha, dumbfuck. I was curious because I usually like Jon Stewart and hoped he’d mentioned it in addition to this nonsense.
  But if you think that pointing out the wrong locus of outrage is being an enemy, you are making Republicans seem intelligent to you by comparison and you don’t belong in a free society.
  
  Perhaps, if you're so smart, you should understand the limitations of text based communication and be clearer in your initial messages. That way you don't have to get into fights like an idiot.
  
  Ok troll
  
  I agree that you being a moron is me being a troll.
- This is the faux-progressive version of "Did he say Thank You?"
  Edit: maybe I misconstrued your sentiment. In the linked clip, he did not talk about the bombing of Yemen, only Trump feigning (or legitimately claiming, although I doubt it) ignorance.
  
  I was just hoping that he talked about the important part—the bombing—in addition to the unimportant part—the text message.
