Donald Trump has spent his career boasting that he only hires “the best people.” But as Trevor Noah pointed out Thursday night, an inordinate number of those people have ended up in prison.
This week, Trump’s “number two guy for the last 40 years,” Allen Weisselberg, pleaded guilty to tax fraud and is expected to do time behind bars. “Can we just take a moment to appreciate how many people associated with Donald Trump have ended up in prison?” the Daily Show host asked. “His lawyer, his campaign manager, his deputy campaign chair, now the chief financial officer of his organization? Usually, you’ve got to run a drug cartel to have this many friends doing hard time.”
At this point, Noah joked that it’s basically just El Chapo and Donald Trump who have this many underlings in prison.
