On Monday’s episode of “The Daily Show,” host Jon Stewart pointed out how former President Donald Trump differs from his supporters’ perception of him.

“The qualities and policies that people profess to be what they admire and love about former President Trump don’t seem to be an accurate reflection of said former president,” Stewart said. “It’s as though they’ve created a fictional character, a Bizarro-Trump, whose accomplishments and character bear little resemblance to the self-aggrandizing, perpetual victim guy he continues to tell you explicitly that he is.”

During the segment, the “Daily Show” host pretended he was an undecided voter still debating between Vice President Kamala Harris and Trump. “It’s basically me and six people who were kicked in the head by very powerful horses,” he said.

Stewart first examined how Harris has been repeatedly criticized for not providing enough details about her policies. Afterwards, “The Daily Show” played several clips of Trump providing incoherent responses when asked to speak specifically about his policies.

“So clearly what people like about Donald Trump is not his clear, specific policies as they demand from Kamala Harris,” Stewart said. “But hey, I’m still open. I’m an undecided voter. You know, because the horse kick in the head. Let’s hear some of Trump’s passionate supporters explain what they see as his strengths.”

“The Daily Show” cut to footage of various Trump supporters sharing what they believe are characteristics of the former president, including that he is the “best friend American workers have ever had in the White House.”

“He’s our best friend! Donald Trump is the champion of hardworking men and women,” Stewart said mockingly. “He’s behind every kind of worker, from auto to sex.”

The late-night show then played clips of Trump saying how he “hated to give overtime” to his workers, as well as admiring Elon Musk for being the “greatest cutter” when employees wanted to go on strike or quit.

“I say, every time Trump talks about workers, it’s like watching ‘A Christmas Carol’ in reverse. ‘I just, I just fired these three ghosts who are trying to get overtime!’” Stewart said. “So the supporting the working man thing is nonsense.”

He concluded the segment by saying, “This fictional Trump who is portrayed as much better than he actually is, is running to be president of a country he paints as much worse than it actually is. But I gotta tell you, whatever country that is, where families are routinely murdered several times while making breakfast, could really use  actual  Donald Trump. The rest of us, not so much.”
