Seeking to crack a few jokes and draw a moral equivalency and lump together Islamophobia and liberal stereotypes of conservatives, Tuesday’s Daily Show featured host Trevor Noah and correspondent Hasan Minhaj quipping that “Donald Trump is white ISIS” and because of that, all conservatives should be banned from entering the White House.

Referring to Trump’s call to ban all Muslims from entering the United States, Minhaj observed that Trump’s become “an extremist leader who came out of nowhere” by being “self-financed, recruits through social media, attracts his followers with a radical ideology to take over the world and is actively trying to promote a war between Islam and the West.”
