Like many people, Trevor Noah is still shocked by President Donald Trump’s wacked-out press conference on Thursday.

Not so much for the words that came out of the president’s mouth as for the message implied by his responses.

“You have a president of a democracy who thinks press is only valid when they ask him easy questions,” Noah said Thursday on “The Daily Show.” “Questions that he likes. In fact, in his mind, he deserves it.”

Noah then summed up what millions of people are thinking right now: “What a putz!”
