Third Month Mania - What Is the Greatest Donald Trump Tweet of All Time?

  • 0:01 - 0:05
    It's March, people,
    which means March Madness.
  • 0:05 - 0:06
    And here at The Daily Show,
  • 0:06 - 0:08
    we have our own
    bracket tournament,
  • 0:08 - 0:11
    which we call Third Month Mania
  • 0:11 - 0:13
    because our lawyers say it's
    generic enough to not get sued.
  • 0:14 - 0:16
    Uh, now, our tournament
    isn't about basketball.
  • 0:16 - 0:18
    It's about something
    much more important:
  • 0:18 - 0:20
    Donald Trump's tweets.
  • 0:20 - 0:23
    Insults, conspiracy theories,
    weird punctuation.
  • 0:23 - 0:27
    All right, and so this year,
    on ThirdMonthMania.com,
  • 0:27 - 0:29
    you can vote to decide
  • 0:29 - 0:34
    which is the single greatest
    Donald Trump tweet of all time.
  • 0:34 - 0:35
    There are some crazy ones.
  • 0:35 - 0:38
    For more, let's go
    to Roy Wood Jr. and Hasan Minhaj
  • 0:38 - 0:40
    to help break down the brackets.
  • 0:40 - 0:44
    (cheers and applause)
  • 0:44 - 0:45
    -Yeah!
    -Oh...!
  • 0:45 - 0:49
    Hey. Welcome to another
    Third Month Mania, guys.
  • 0:49 - 0:52
    -Yes. -Roy, this is going to be
    an amazing tournament.
  • 0:52 - 0:54
    -Oh, it sure is, Hasan.
    -(whoops)
  • 0:54 - 0:56
    What Donald Trump tweet
    is the greatest?
  • 0:57 - 0:59
    Ooh, not an easy question.
  • 0:59 - 1:03
    -This is a man who has tweeted
    nearly 35,000 times. -Mmm.
  • 1:03 - 1:06
    And in order to narrow it down
    to our 64 contenders,
  • 1:07 - 1:11
    we had to read through
    every single one of his tweets.
  • 1:11 - 1:15
    Sometimes I still see them
    when I close my eyes.
  • 1:14 - 1:16
    Let's talk about the four
    divisions this year, all right?
  • 1:17 - 1:20
    -Yeah, yeah.
    -We've got celebrity tweets,
  • 1:20 - 1:21
    tweets about Trump's enemies,
  • 1:21 - 1:22
    government affairs,
  • 1:22 - 1:26
    and a bunch of random (bleep)
    we call WTF.
  • 1:26 - 1:29
    Four very competitive
    Trump tweet regions, Hasan.
  • 1:29 - 1:31
    So, let's start
    in the celebrity region
  • 1:30 - 1:32
    where the number one seat
  • 1:33 - 1:35
    is Trump
    going right at his biggest foe,
  • 1:35 - 1:37
    -Rosie O'Donnell, baby.
    -Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
  • 1:37 - 1:41
    "Sorry, @Rosie
    is a mentally sick woman,
  • 1:41 - 1:44
    "a bully, a dummy
    and, above all, a loser.
  • 1:44 - 1:46
    Other than that,
    she's just wonderful."
  • 1:46 - 1:48
    -Ooh!
    -(laughter)
  • 1:48 - 1:51
    Just an incredible flurry of
    insults in just 140 characters.
  • 1:51 - 1:53
    -I love how he tries
    to redeem it at the end. -Hmm.
  • 1:54 - 1:56
    You know, it's like my dad says.
  • 1:56 - 1:57
    "Hasan, you're dumb,
    a disappointment to our family,
  • 1:57 - 1:59
    "and a disgrace to everyone,
  • 1:59 - 2:01
    but technically,
    you're still my son."
  • 2:01 - 2:02
    (laughter)
  • 2:02 - 2:03
    Damn, that's cold, man.
  • 2:04 - 2:06
    Ah, man, for an Indian family,
    that's a lullaby, baby.
  • 2:06 - 2:08
    -(laughter) -I love you, Pop!
    -Ah, cool.
  • 2:08 - 2:09
    Well, in round one,
  • 2:10 - 2:12
    -that Rosie tweet
    is up against Miley Cyrus. -Mm.
  • 2:12 - 2:15
    "@Miley Cyrus is
    on a very triky..."
  • 2:15 - 2:18
    -Not "tricky." No "C."
    -(laughter)
  • 2:18 - 2:19
    "...and slippery path.
  • 2:19 - 2:22
    "Right now, the right moves
    will lead to greatness,
  • 2:22 - 2:25
    the wrong moves
    to oblivion. Guidance."
  • 2:25 - 2:27
    -Guidance!
    -(laughter)
  • 2:27 - 2:28
    All caps.
  • 2:27 - 2:30
    Wait. Is he giving the guidance?
    Is that how...?
  • 2:31 - 2:32
    No, I think
  • 2:32 - 2:34
    he's actually describing
    the concept of guidance.
  • 2:34 - 2:36
    Maybe he thinks
    you just yell out "guidance"
  • 2:36 - 2:37
    when someone needs help.
  • 2:37 - 2:39
    -Guidance!
    -Guidance!
  • 2:39 - 2:40
    -Guidance! -Guidance!
  • 2:40 - 2:42
    -You know,
    it's a triky situation. -Indeed.
  • 2:41 - 2:44
    But I think the Rosie tweet's
    gonna come out on top. Yeah.
  • 2:45 - 2:47
    -Top seed for a good reason.
    -Mm-hmm.
  • 2:47 - 2:49
    Go to ThirdMonthMania.com now
    and vote.
  • 2:49 - 2:52
    But let's move on to the
    government affairs region,
  • 2:52 - 2:54
    where the key match-up is all
    about the electoral college.
  • 2:55 - 2:56
    -Right.
    -In 2012, Trump called it
  • 2:56 - 2:59
    "a disaster for democracy."
  • 2:59 - 3:02
    Okay, 2016, four years later,
    he says,
  • 3:02 - 3:05
    "The Electoral College
    is actually genius."
  • 3:05 - 3:07
    (laughter)
  • 3:07 - 3:08
    Oh, this is classic
    Trump tweeting.
  • 3:08 - 3:11
    Dude takes two sides
    on every single issue.
  • 3:11 - 3:13
    Knows there's a paper trail,
    doesn't give a (bleep).
  • 3:13 - 3:16
    -(laughter) -Oh, which one
    of these is going to win, Hasan?
  • 3:16 - 3:18
    You know, I don't know, man,
    but this time,
  • 3:18 - 3:20
    it's up to you guys,
  • 3:20 - 3:22
    and this time, the popular vote
    actually matters.
  • 3:22 - 3:25
    -Oh, satire!
    -(groaning, laughing)
  • 3:25 - 3:27
    Now, over in the WTF region
    is my personal favorite tweet
  • 3:27 - 3:29
    to go all the way.
  • 3:30 - 3:32
    "I would like to extend
    my best wishes to all,
  • 3:32 - 3:34
    "even the haters and losers
  • 3:35 - 3:37
    on this special day,
    September 11th."
  • 3:38 - 3:40
    (audience groaning)
  • 3:40 - 3:43
    ⪠And the rockets' red glare,
    the bombs bursting in air... âŞ
  • 3:43 - 3:44
    I mean, what can you even
    say here?
  • 3:44 - 3:46
    -Here is a man...
    -Mm-hmm.
  • 3:46 - 3:49
    ...who truly understands
    the spirit of 9/11.
  • 3:49 - 3:52
    Patriotism, unity
  • 3:52 - 3:55
    and letting them haters know,
    I see your ass!
  • 3:55 - 3:57
    -(laughter)
    -I see you.
  • 3:57 - 4:00
    And finally,
    there is the enemies' region
  • 4:00 - 4:02
    where my money is
    on this classic.
  • 4:01 - 4:03
    "Barney Frank looked
    disgusting--
  • 4:04 - 4:06
    "nipples protruding-- in
    his blue shirt before Congress.
  • 4:07 - 4:10
    -Very, very disrespectful."
    -(laughter)
  • 4:10 - 4:11
    I don't even know
    what that means.
  • 4:11 - 4:13
    I don't know
    what the (bleep) it means!
  • 4:13 - 4:15
    I don't know.
    You know, it's...
  • 4:15 - 4:17
    A Congressman's nipples
  • 4:17 - 4:19
    once disrespected
    our feature president!
  • 4:19 - 4:21
    -Look at him!
    -Oh, Roy, come...
  • 4:21 - 4:22
    Roy, you can't hold
    a man accountable
  • 4:22 - 4:23
    for what his nipples do!
  • 4:23 - 4:25
    -(laughter)
    -Uh, you're right. You're right.
  • 4:25 - 4:28
    That's why I tape mine down
    before we film.
  • 4:28 - 4:29
    -(laughter)
    -Guidance! Hey!
  • 4:29 - 4:31
    -Guidance.
    -Yeah, yeah.
  • 4:31 - 4:32
    -(laughter)
    -This...
  • 4:33 - 4:34
    (laughter)
  • 4:34 - 4:37
    So now it's up to you at home
    to decide which tweets advance
  • 4:37 - 4:40
    -to the round of 32.
    -The first round is now open.
  • 4:40 - 4:43
    Go vote online
    at ThirdMonthMania.com
  • 4:43 - 4:45
    -and share your pics
    with your friends. -And hurry up
  • 4:45 - 4:48
    before Trump tweets
    some more crazy (bleep).
