Trevor Noah’s Back With Take On Trump’s Order To Assassinate Iranian General

With impeachment hanging over his head, Trump gave the order to execute a fatal drone strike on top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani. The ramifications could be huge.

Donald Trump had quite a start to 2020.

With impeachment hanging over his head, and a battle for reelection later this year, he gave the order to execute a fatal drone strike on top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani.

Whilst most Westerners tend to agree that Soleimani was a terrible human, the ramifications of the deadly attack will likely be far-reaching, and the threat of another protracted war looms large.

Fresh off his holiday, Trevor Noah returned to The Daily Show to take a closer look at what led to this decision, and the ripple effect that it will have across the Middle East.

The clip below has the added bonus of some back and forth between Trevor and Donald, just after the six-minute mark:

As the saying goes, there’s a tweet for everything:

Prepare for things to really go off the rails as the elections draw nearer.
