Trevor Noah says working for Trump is like ‘being married to Carole Baskin’

‘One foot wrong and you don’t know what could happen’

On his Daily Social Distancing Show, Trevor Noah joked that working with Donald Trump was like being married to Tiger King’s Carole Baskin.

Star of the Netflix docu-series Joe Exotic believes Baskin killed her husband Jack “Don” Lewis and fed him to tigers.

Noah’s joke came in response to Trump’s dismissal of the President of the CDC’s warning about a second wave of the virus next fall.

“I actually feel sorry for all these experts who have to share the stage with Trump” Noah began.

“They have to walk a fine line between giving everyone accurate information but then also making sure they don’t anger their boss.”

“In a way, working for Trump is like being married to Carole Baskin – one foot wrong and you don’t know what could happen.

He continued: “I mean we don’t know what happened, but we know what happened.”

Noah also criticised Trump after he said he disagreed with Georgia Governor Brian Kemp’s decision to open up certain businesses in that state soon. “I respect him,” Trump said. “But I’d wait a little longer.”

Prior to now, Trump had encouraged states to open their economies back up.

Because Kemp is a Trump supporter, Noah joked that it was the ultimate insult, comparing it to the situation in Eminem’s music video for “Stan” where a fan’s obsession with the rapper leads to his downfall.

“This is what you get,” said Noah. “These guys trying so hard to suck up to him, then bam.”

Noah also took issue with Trump for not knowing the name of the scientist who was dismissed from his job while working on a coronavirus vaccine.

He felt that since Trump had enough time to watch reruns of baseball games, he should also have enough time to know about the man.

“If you have time to watch reruns of baseball, you have time for anything,” Noah said, mentioning that baseball is boring even in real time. He described watching reruns to ”watching paint dry through a PowerPoint slide”.
