The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart has made his latest dig at the president, implying that Donald Trump is impotent following a health diagnosis in July.

On Monday night, Stewart defended the left’s fight for Medicaid during the ongoing government shutdown and refuted House Speaker Mike Johnson’s claims that the Democratic party were to blame for the shutdown.

Instead, Stewart pointed his finger toward the president and insinuated that he relished in decisions to ‘inflict the pain’ of a shutdown onto Americans and even that he derived sexual pleasure in doing so.

A clip of Johnson rolled, in which the House Speaker said that ‘the president takes no pleasure in this,’ referring to the shutdown.

‘Bulls***,’ Stewart declared as he began his tirade. ‘The president takes no pleasure in this? The president takes only pleasure.’

‘Given the president’s vascular condition, this might be the only thing keeping him hard,’ he joked, referencing Trump’s chronic venous insufficiency diagnosis in July.

The late-show host argued that Trump had shown a history of reveling in taking revenge.

‘His only reason for getting up in the morning is vengeance. Trump has been steamrolling over the Democrats and the law so consistently since day one of the presidency, the nation’s pundits and legal experts are running out of ways to describe it,’ he continued.

Stewart had earlier showed a post from Trump on TruthSocial in which the president wrote: ‘I can’t believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity.

‘I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut, and whether or not those cuts will be temporary or permanent,’ Trump wrote.

‘I can’t believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity. They are not stupid people, so maybe this is their way of wanting to, quietly and quickly, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!’

Stewart, referencing many experts describing the shutdown as a ‘trap,’ said: ‘Oh oh oh, so the trap is, if the Democrats shut down the government, Donald Trump takes advantage of the situation and begins to, I don’t know, trim programs Democrats care about.

‘Or maybe Donald Trump might let go of some federal workers, or Donald Trump might eliminate funding but only for Blue States, or Donald Trump might f***ing send in the National Guard but only into blue areas,’ he continued.

‘In other words, to continue doing all the s*** Trump has not needed any provocation or pretense or reason to already have been doing low these past – God, it feels like, f***ing 80 years.’

Stewart later further dug his heels in and said that ‘Republicans won’t be satisfied with 99.8 percent domination. They must have it all.’

‘ICE went from deporting the worst of the worst to onto linoleum and zip-tying American children, and everyone’s just supposed to be cool with the new masked, incredibly well-funded paramilitary group,’ he continued.

The liberal host conceded that the Democrats have had very few wins within recent months, adding that he has recently given Democrats an ‘enormous amount of s*** for their poor leadership.’

‘Lack of specific and actionable plans, terrible messaging, abysmal word play. Did I mention poor leadership?,’ he continued.

‘But standing up for 75 million Americans in this moment to defend the rights of people to go into a little less medical debt? Seems like the least they can f***ing do.’

Stewart and Trump have had a history of petty internet wars, including a time when the comedian was dubbed ‘a p***y’ by the now-president in 2013.

While appearing on The Weekly Show podcast, Stewart was asked why he hadn’t been targeted by the president like other late-night show hosts recently have.

The comedian said: ‘There’s a function of relevance. I don’t think we are on the radar.’

He admitted to taking ‘great pride’ in Trump’s tweet that said: ‘Little Jon Stewart (?) Is a p***y, he would be hopeless in a debate with me!’

‘It’s absurd to even think about,’ Stewart said.

The government shutdown remains in a standoff as it enters its seventh day, as the Democrats continue to fight for health care subsidiaries and Republicans continue to blame the left for the shutdown.

Democrats are conditioning their support for a short-term funding patch on extending the health subsidies that lessen the cost of plans offered under the Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as Obamacare.

‘We have a negotiation going on right now with the Democrats that could lead to very good things,’ Trump told reporters earlier on Monday. ‘And I’m talking about good things with regard to healthcare.’

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said that claim ‘is not true’, but that if Trump will bargain on the issue, he’s ready to talk.

‘For months, Democrats have been calling on Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans to come to the table and work with us to deliver lower costs and better health care for the American people,’ he told NBC News.

Negotiations between the two parties have been virtually nonexistent since the start of the shutdown despite the impact on federal services.

But Trump later followed up those comments on his social media site and said: ‘The shutdown must end. And work on extending the enhanced tax credits for health insurance would take place separately.

‘I am happy to work with the Democrats on their Failed Healthcare Policies, or anything else, but first they must allow our Government to re-open. In fact, they should open our Government tonight!’ Trump wrote.

Republican Senate majority leader John Thune said a critical food aid program for women, infants and children was starting to run low on funds, blaming Democrats and saying ‘now it’s the American people who are suffering the consequences.’

Schumer said his side was ready to work with Republicans to ‘reopen the government and end the health care crisis that faces tens of millions of Americans.’

‘But it takes two sides to have a negotiation,’ Schumer said.

Earlier in the day, the two sides dug in. House Speaker Mike Johnson said ‘there’s nothing for us to negotiate’ while Jeffries declared the ‘time is now’ to work out a deal on health care.
