Desi Lydic criticized President Donald Trump on Tuesday for the White House press ban and his threats tied to a United Nations speech, arguing on The Daily Show that Trump seems more interested in televised conflict than authoritarian image making. Lydic’s monologue targeted his clash with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins outside the U.N. Lydic framed Trump’s confrontation with Collins as part of a larger appetite for public feuds. Her punchline was that Trump is not only presenting himself as a wannabe authoritarian, but also behaving like a Bravo personality who picks fights wherever the cameras are rolling. Trump’s Media Beef Gets the Reality TV Treatment Lydic also mocked the idea that Trump would operate quietly without press attention, arguing that his public image depends on having media outlets to battle. She capped the segment by joking that without reporters around, Trump would have to sit with his own thoughts. The Daily Show host praised Fox News for joining other media organizations in boycotting White House events and pulling coverage. Lydic’s segment aired during the Comedy Central show’s weeknight 11 p.m. ET broadcast, while the White House had not immediately responded to TheWrap’s request for comment.
