Donald Trump had comedians everywhere — Jon Stewart included — thankful for some grade-A material when he photobombed Spain’s victory trophy moment at Sunday’s World Cup final.
On Monday’s episode of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, a grimacing Stewart was flabbergasted at why, exactly, the president elbowed his way into a spotlight clearly not intended for him. As the winning World Cup team from Spain gathered for the traditional trophy presentation and group photo, Trump, who presented the gold statue, lingered on stage, apparently unwilling to give up a stadium’s worth of attention.
“What the f*ck are you doing on the stage?” Stewart said. “It’s for the players! Goddamn, why must everything be tainted by the overinflated ego of Cankles Muldoon? Why?”

Unlike Trump, Stewart didn’t linger too long on the moment, offering other more offbeat angles on Sunday’s big match. For one thing, he wondered why, of all the Muppet characters to choose from, Sesame Street’s The Count was chosen to take part in the daylight halftime show.
“Why would in God’s name make the vampire work during the day?” Stewart cracked. “Not only is it in the bright glare of the afternoon sun, but for most of the game, the score was 0-0. You’re taunting this poor bastard!” In his best Count voice, Stewart said, “I sat in traffic for one, two, three hours for this?’”
Stewart also made the observation that the World Cup final was like a “reverse Super Bowl,” in which “the players spoke Spanish, and the halftime show was in English.” The most recent Super Bowl, of course, featured Bad Bunny’s halftime show, which famously drew the ire of Trump who griped about not being able to understand what Bunny was singing.
And one last jab at Trump: Stewart pointed out that, after Sunday’s match, Trump couldn’t resist bragging about how successful America’s “FIFA” was, seeming to confuse the actual World Cup match with the organization behind it.
