## Resource

Get caught up on all the headlines with The Daily Show team and This Week's News. Jon Stewart examines the president's dismal track record as a negotiator with Iran despite being a self-styled "negotiator-in-chief." Michael Kosta weighs in on Trump's recent losing streak, Ivanka and Jared Kushner buying a private island, Benjamin Netanyahu getting a taste of mean-girl Trump, and results from recent primaries in New Jersey and California. Plus, Kosta comments on the possibility of Trump being the face of America's new $250 bill and a January 6er getting hired for a counterterrorism job at the Pentagon. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.
