Summary
Tuesday's "Daily Show" segment targeted Ivanka Trump over her and Jared Kushner's investment in a 1,400-hectare private island off Albania, casting her remarks as tone-deaf during a U.S. economic crisis.
Kosta built the bit around Ivanka Trump's interview description of the island as an "unbelievable, beautiful" Mediterranean property she and Kushner discovered after swimming ashore from a friend's boat.
The resort development has been unfolding for years and reportedly carries a price tag above $1 billion, while the project tied to Kushner's business dealings is also under investigation.
Kosta also seized on reports that the couple may have to contend with abandoned bunkers and unexploded bombs on the site, using the hazards to sharpen his ridicule of the luxury venture.
