The one where he painted a hysterical, racist, and fearful image of the immigrants entering the U.S. from Mexico. (Nothing new here really, as he regularly refers to immigrants as “criminals” and “terrorists.”)

Did the speech make you angry? Did you want to cry? Did you want to stop listening? Check the facts? Did you feel a mix of all the above?

Well, The Daily Show host Trevor Noah is here again to help us to deal with the mix of emotions and confusing thoughts most of us feel when it comes to U.S. politics.
