On Thursday, just a few days before the one year anniversary of President Trump almost being killed, Comedy Central’s Ronny Chieng and The Daily Show’s audience found great amusement in Iran’s recent threats to assassinate Trump, not so much because Chieng actually wants him dead, but because it gave them an opportunity to mock Trump’s physical appearance.

After discussing the latest news with Trump and Ukraine, Chieng declared, “Let’s move on from the war Trump is trying to stop to the one he's trying to start. The one with Iran.”

If Trump was really looking to start a war with Iran, he would have kept bombing them after the initial strikes, but Chieng continued by teeing up a clip of Fox News anchor Carley Shimkus, “They've been real pissy at Trump just because he dropped the world's biggest bomb on them. Okay, get over it. That was two weeks ago. And now some Iranians are suggesting that they could strike back in a very specific way.”
