  "account": "Jon Stewart, host of The Daily Show, voiced his thoughts on President Donald Trump's decision to ban several news outlets, including CNN, from the White House. In a clip from the show, Stewart remarked, \"Have you tried presidenting better?\" He suggested that instead of banning the press, Trump should work on being a better president himself. Stewart quipped, \"You could ban the press, or you could be a better f***ing president? I mean, give the press something to work with.\" He shared a humorous anecdote about being surprised by the amount of gas his car could consume in its small tank, saying, \"I never thought my car could take $140 worth of gas in such a small tank! I had no idea. Hurrah.\" Stewart then posed a serious question, asking, \"And not for nothing, have we ever had a president just flat out in the Oval Office come out against the Constitution? What kind of a sick country doesn't allow unlimited warrantless search and seizure? I mean, that's not the North Korea I grew up in.\"",
