Play of the Day: Making American Great Again … With a Lot of Folders
Donald Trump's first press conference as president-elect featured props.
President Barack Obama gave his final speech in the office Tuesday night, including a part of the speech asking citizens to engage more with American democracy. The Daily Show's Trevor Noah joked about Obama suggesting engagement with "strangers from the Internet" in "real life," saying such a thing will end with "you bleeding in an alley." During the speech, Obama also complimented his wife on her "grace and grit" and Late Night's Seth Myers joked that those are the names of Michelle Obama's arms.
President-elect Donald Trump held his first press conference since the election on Wednesday and spent some of it explaining how he will deal with his business empire during his time in office. Noah joked that we're in a weird era when the president sees the office as his "side hustle," while Meyers joked that the manila folders supposedly containing Trump Organization documents were a preview of the border wall. Noah wondered about the props, saying someone from Trump's team had to buy out a Staples in order to "make America great again."
