are the mexicans actually staying? shh! >> october 1, 2015, from comedy central's world news headquarters in new york, this is "the daily show" with trevor noah. ( cheers and applause ) captioning sponsored by comedy central >> trevor: welcome to "the daily show." i'm trevor noah. our guest tonight, ryan adams is here. ryan adams is here playing from the album "1989". that's right. wow. but first, by now as you may have heard, a few hours ago, there was a tragic event that took place in oregon, and you know, normally in one of these situations i'll just speak from the heart. but, honestly, this isn't a normal situation for me.

i haven't had the time to feel, let alone think about everything that's happening. and i'm sure it's true for many people out there. so right now, we can only express our grief for the people who are lost, and i guess i can do what i do best, and that is try and make people laugh. so let's do our show. in the time that i've been here, i've been following the presidential race and i've noticed a few pieces of conventional wisdom have formed around the canvas, none more than with drusm. >> six in 10 americans believe trump is unqualified to serve as polaroid. >> he's not qualified to be president. >> unfit to be president. >> unfit to be commande commandn chief. >> the "des moines register" writing trump is, "not only unfit to hold office but unfit to stand on the same page as his republican opponents." >> he's unfit for that stage? no, that stage is unfit for trump. there's no goals. where are the women in bikinis.

and how would he even get there? there's no escalator. come on, people. so the complaints about trump is that he's unpresidential and it stems from certain statements that he's made. >> when mexico sends its people, they're bringing drugs. they're bringing crime, their rapists, and some, i assume, are good people. >> trevor: and you know what they say-- when you assume you're the best at assuming. trump. ( laughter ) i know these comment about immigrants were upsetting to some people, but for me as an africans, there's just something familiar about trump that makes me feel at home. >> the influx of illegal migrants, crime, unfair business practices, drugs. >> it is also not true that all foreign nationals are involved in criminal activities. there are some who are, but not all of them. >> trevor: i love how we all

wait, he's not so-- ahh. that is south african president jacob zuma sounding a lot like drusm. you see, that sir, like xenophobia witha i dash of diplomacy, which is also the title of paula deen's new book. ( applause ) so i don't see what's unpresidential about drusm. i mean, here's another thing he unnecessarily took heat for. >> autism has become an epidemic. went to have the vaccine, and came back and a week later got a tremendous fever, got very, very sick, now is autistic. >> trevor: now, was that factual? no. ( laughter ) but was it presidential? depends where you come from. >> gambian president yahya jammeh says he can cure aids with bananas. heap said mine is not an argument. mine say proof. it's a declaration.

i can cure aids and i will. >> trevor: that is right right. the president of gambia says he can cure aids with bananas, and i can also cure cancer, using aids! if only i hadn't cured all that aids. aahhh! crazy things. better safe than sorry. what i'm trying to say is drusm is presidential. he just happens to be running on the wrong continent. in fact, once you realize that trump is basically the perfect african president, you start to notice the similarities everywhere. like the level of self-regard. >> i say not in a braggadocious way, i've made billions and billions of dollars. >> i made a tremendous ability of money. >> i'm really rich. i have a great temperament. they love me anyway. i don't have to do this. i've done an amazing job. god helped me by giving me a certain brain. >> trevor: i bet that's the one time god is like, "i tonight

need the praise. i'm cool." is that extra oord level of bragging presidential? let's ask idi amin, former president and best president of uganda. >> people love me very much. i am very popular. i am very powerful. i have got a very good friend. >> trevor: i have a very good brain and i know this because every time i ask people if i have a good brain, they say, ," of course, mr. president. now please let me family go. i think you proved your point." just to make sure everyone knew how successful he was idi amin wanted to be referred to as his press against for life, dr. idi amin dada, mc, laddible beasts

of the earth, and fishz of the seas and conqueror of the british empire in africa as general and uganda, in particular. idi amin didn't own any casinos. in fact, trump is so african presidential, he's already at the level of zimbabwe's president, robert mugabe, whose brutality and oppressive tactics have kept him in power for 35 years. >> my people have great praise for me. >> people love me, everybody loves me. >> the little man. >> he's very low energy. >> it's not european. it's our land. and we have taken it. >> we'll take our country back. >> we will have so much winning, if i get elected, that you may get bored with winning. ( applause ) >> trevor: i feel like i'm winning right now! it's really great to know if anything ever happens to trump we have a backup copy in africa.

i like that. actually, now they think about it, trump reminds me of one african leader in particular. weird hair? check. lavish lifestyle? check. fringe, discredited views about president obama's origins? >> ( translated ): and along came a black citizen of kenyan african origin, a muslim. his name is obama. >> trevor: check. oh, and there's one more thing. >> gaddafi put up a tent in the town of bedford about 40 miles outside of new york city, the property in westchester county, where they're setting up that tent is owned by none other than drusm. >> trevpr: that's. when muammar gadhafi came to ferk. he could have stayed anywhere but only place he felt truly at home was in drusm's yard. now just, by the way, our lawyers told us we have to mention that trump told gadhafi to take the tent now spp you see, you to be careful what you

say about drusm in public. not unlike an african president. i understand that trump is a little scary. and a little exotic for some. a little out of america's comfort zone. but this great country is capable of bold leaps. it took one in 2008 when it elected its first black president and now in 2016 i say it is time to be bold once more and elect america's first african president. and when that happens, when a true african finally enters the oval office the people of africa will erupt into songing of praise. mexican rapists. ( laughter ) ( applause ) we don't have a word for mexican rapists. we'll be right back. we'll be right back. ( cheers and a

( cheers and applause ). >> so good. >> trevor: jordan, what are you drinking? >> sory, it's pumpkin spice latte. >> trevor: i don't understand. >> sorry, a pumpkin is like a native gord-- >> i know what a pumpkin is. i don't understand why you're drinking it on the show.

mmm-mmm. it's like you're tonguing thanksgiving. you better get with the pumpkin program because you don't want to end up like this guy. >> he tried to start a national anti-pumpkin day. >> we don't eat christmas trees. we shouldn't eat pumpkins. >> is that what you want spend october not eating pumpkins and spend december not eating christmas trees. >> trevor: that doesn't make sense? >> it does. >> i former hostage negotiator from charlotte, north carolina, feels he's being held hostage by the atuminal squash. >> trevor: how did we end up there? >> probably not very good at hostage negotiation. >> trevor: no, no, you sidetakd me. back to the news. syria. let's go live to the capital where we chat with our new

senior geopolitical correspondent, desi lydic. >> trevor, i'm here in war-torn damascus where vladimir pumpkin's airstrikes -- >> >> trevor: did you say vladimir pumpkin? is that pumpkin patch even in syria, desi? >> no. >> trevpr: what is happening to my staff? you're alm pumpkin spice addicts. jordan what are you doing? >> i'm cool, bro. i'm cool. >> trevor: are you snorting pumpkin spice? what is going on here. roy, is roy wood, jr. out there. roy wood, jr., please tell me please-- oh, no. is that a pumpkin spice latte, roy. >> we don't drink pumpkin. >> trevor: thank god. >> it's a sweet potato latte. >> that is gross.

( laughter ) we americans cling to these fleety moments, not knowing if somewhat pumpkin spice donut could be our last. i guess where you come from, you don't know what scarcity is. >> trevor: really? >> yup. >> trevor: jordan klepper, everyone. we'll be right back. just let the hostages go. >> i'm not going back to jail! >> take it easy. >> no, no, no! no!
