## Resource

Jon Stewart dives into Trump Jesus-ifying himself with an AI image (which he later claimed was depicting him as a doctor) and the president's Easter beef with Pope Leo. Ronny Chieng weighs in on JD Vance's apology tour on Trump's behalf, Joe Biden thinking he saw Obama, the president's theory that diet soda kills cancer cells, and a FEMA official's claims of teleporting... to a Waffle House. Plus, Ronny Chieng comments on the ongoing meme war between the U.S. and Iran, and Pete Hegseth slams the media for its lack of "patriotic" coverage. -- Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/the-daily-show/ The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.
