The Daily Show gives a brutal recap of Trumps midterm convention

The Daily Show provided a scathing recap of Donald Trump's midterm convention. Host Michael Kosta went through the highlights from the event, starting with the disappointing performance of Senate hopeful Ken Paxton. Kosta remarked, "Oh no he didn't...make anyone laugh," after clips of Paxton's jokes received a tumbleweed response.

Next, Kosta criticized Trump's proposal of offering Americans $5,000 if the Republicans secured both the House and Senate. He quipped, "$5,000? That's two trips to the grocery store!" or even "one if you buy raspberries." Kosta pointed out the irony in Trump referring to this as a "dividend," given the country's negative $40 trillion debt.

The clip also featured Jimmy Kimmel's comments on the convention's empty seats. For those who enjoy late-night comedy, Mashable suggests signing up for their Top Stories newsletter.
