Jon Stewart Mocks Trump’s 3-Month Iran Peace Failure, Citing Russia-Ukraine Miss

3 articles · Updated · HuffPost · Jun 2

Jon Stewart used his Monday monologue to argue Donald Trump’s self-styled dealmaking image has collapsed, pointing to his inability to end the 3-month-old Iran war or broker peace between Russia and Ukraine.
Weeks of clips showed Trump repeatedly saying an Iran deal was near, only for him to complain on Truth Social that “political hacks” negatively “chirping” made a deal harder to reach.
Stewart contrasted that excuse with Trump’s long-running boasts that he knows deals “better than anybody,” then mocked his failure to close the gap between Russia and Ukraine despite promising peace on Day 1.
The segment’s broader point was that negotiation requires compromise between opposing sides, while Stewart argued Trump’s political strength lies in fueling division that makes settlements harder.
