The Daily Show has a new edition of its fake news show within a fake news show, “Cocaine News” with Donald Trump Jr.!
The first edition of the parody commercial featuring several clips of a… we’ll go with “wired” Donald Trump Jr. from his podcast and other public appearances came out exactly one year ago, but this new one from Wednesday’s episode featured brand new moments of the eldest Trump boy spouting more of his “hot takes”:

Several of the clips even featured Trump clearly talking about Hunter Biden, who has been candid about his own drug addiction, and it gave Trump the opportunity to say the words “The cocaine addict who happens to be the son of the president!” The Daily Show went ahead and used that as their introduction:
Announcer: Want a news show that parties?
Trump: I literally did not go to sleep on Friday night.
Announcer: Watch Cocaine News with your host Donald Trump Jr.!
Trump: The cocaine addict who happens to be the son of the president!
Announcer: Hot takes!
Trump: I know you’re not allowed to talk about the Great Replacement Theory.
Announcer: Hard drugs!
Trump: Going 172 in a car while smoking crack.
Announcer: And all the finger quotes you can handle!
Trump: Dangers of disinformation! He called it black face! Lost part of his penis!
Announcer: Cutting up fat rails of journalism!
Donald Trump Jr. has denied being a drug user.
Here’s the original edition of “Cocaine News with Donald Trump Jr.”:
And if you watch both of them back to back, you’ll feel like you’re going back in time! WATCH THEM BOTH. Even if it’s “not your thing”!
