Jon Stewart returned to late-night on Tuesday to offer a blistering assessment of the first 10 days of the Trump presidency during an appearance on CBS’ “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” 
 
 “We have never faced this before: Purposeful, vindictive chaos,” Stewart said. The next was to change the nation's official language to "bulls--t." 
 
 "I, Donald J. Trump, have instructed my staff to speak only in bulls--t," Stewart said. “The presidency is supposed to age the president, not the public.” 
 
 With his presence and his incisive observations, Stewart seemed to try to reassure the audience that the country is strong enough to survive the upheaval already evident during Donald Trump’s 10-day tenure in the White House. "No one action will be adequate, all action will be necessary, and if we do not allow Donald Trump to exhaust our fight and somehow come out of this presidency calamity-less and constitutionally, partially intact, then I, Donald J. Trump, will have demonstrated the greatness of America, just not the way I thought I was going to," Stewart concluded to thundering applause. Stewart has popped up a few times on “The Late Show” since Colbert took the reins in September 2015.
– "We have never faced this before: purposeful, vindictive chaos," Jon Stewart said Tuesday, summing up President Trump's first 10 days in office during an appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. Impersonating Trump with a "dead animal on head" and a tie reaching the floor, the former Daily Show host read out Trump's next executive orders. The first: "China shall immediately and without hesitation send us their wall." The second: The official language of the United States is now "bulls--t." The third: "I, Donald J. Trump, am exhausting" because "every instinct and fiber of my pathological self-regard calls me to abuse of power." The segment had Stewart, Colbert, and the audience in stitches—particularly when the aforementioned dead animal appeared to try to crawl down Stewart's face—but Stewart chose to end it on a serious note, per the New York Daily News. He called on America's "relentless stamina and vigilance and every institutional check and balance this country can muster" to restrain Trump, per Variety, noting, "If we do not allow Donald Trump to exhaust our fight and somehow come out of this presidency calamity-less and constitutionally, partially intact, then I, Donald J. Trump, will have demonstrated the greatness of America, just not the way I thought I was going to."
