Ronnie Chieng Mocks Trump's 'Islamic Republic of Japan' Gaffe on The Daily Show

Summary
Ronnie Chieng used a Daily Show segment to ridicule Donald Trump after Trump referred to Japan as the "Islamic Republic of Japan" while discussing tensions with Iran.
Trump made the slip while talking about missiles fired at a U.S. aircraft carrier after attending the recent NATO summit, apparently mixing up Japan and Iran.
Chieng turned the error into a running joke, quipping that the U.S. was "losing the war with Iran so bad it converted Japan to Islam" and comparing the phrase to a trendy Bushwick fusion restaurant.
