'Does Not Give A F**k Anymore': 'Daily Show' Crushes Trump's Most Corrupt Gambit Yet

“Daily Show” correspondent Ronny Chieng on Tuesday skewered President Donald Trump’s use of the Oval Office to enrich himself and his family. The comments centered on reports that Trump bought stock in publicly traded companies and then publicly praised those companies and their products. For example, on Feb. 10, the president reportedly bought millions of shares of Dell stock. Nine days later, he told a crowd of supporters in Georgia to “go out and buy a Dell computer.” “Wow! Okay, this guy does not give a fuck anymore. They’re gonna have to start replacing the presidential seal with a hashtag ad,” Chieng said. “In hindsight, we should have suspected something. I mean, if you’re telling people to buy a Dell computer in 2026, you’re probably doing something illegal. Okay, because even the people who make Dell computers are like, do they still make Dell computers?” Chieng also noted that the clues about such corruption “were pretty obvious,” and played a clip from ABC News detailing a Truth Social post in which Trump included the Palantir stock ticker weeks after buying shares of the company. “I mean, he’s even putting the stock ticker symbol in his tweet! You know, the way we all drop stock symbols into our everyday conversations. Like, ‘Hey, officer, officer. That man stole my iPhone (AAPL),’” Chieng said. “Here’s the bottom line. It’s undeniable at this point that Trump has achieved a level of corruption no one has ever imagined before.” Watch Chieng’s full opening segment from Tuesday night’s show here: By entering your email and clicking Sign Up, you're agreeing to let us send you customized marketing messages about us and our advertising partners.
