Jon Stewart: Trump, Elon Musk X Livestream was boring

“But damn, was it just like two old men in a basement talking about how hot each other is? Like, wow,” Stewart said.

Stewart said Trump’s age has become a focal point since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race last month.

“I think before our eyes it’s becoming Biden in this race,” Stewart said of Trump’s slurred speech during the live broadcast.

“The whole point was that Biden’s performance in the debate was so shocking to the performance system, where you look at a guy and you go, ‘Oh, shit.’ Like this is a real decline in a way that we didn’t anticipate, but it obscured what was clearly happening with Trump as well,” he continued.

And now that Trump is no longer running against Biden, he can’t seem like the relatively younger, more energetic candidate, Stewart said on his podcast.

“When you take that out of the equation, you’re just left with a much stronger focus on his decline. And then you listen to those Twitter spaces. And again, like he’s always been a little unhinged, but damn,” he said.

This isn’t the first time Stewart has flagged Trump’s age while weighing in on the presidential election.

While performing at the Netflix Is A Joke Festival in May, Stewart said having Biden and Trump on the ballot was a mistake.

“Why are we allowing this? And now we’re going to have a president who is the oldest two people to ever run for president,” Stewart told the audience, per The Hollywood Reporter.

Then in June, Stewart said on “The Daily Show” that the Biden-Trump rematch would turn into the two candidates taking potshots at each other’s age.

“I guess the election came down to each candidate accusing the other of having soup where there should be brains,” Stewart said.

That said, Trump, who will now battle Vice President Kamala Harris, 59, for the presidency in November, doesn’t consider himself old.

In a post for Truth Social last month, the GOP candidate said he thought Harris voted poorly “against a good, brilliant young man” like himself.

Representatives for Trump and Musk did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider sent outside regular business hours.
