Talk show host Jon Stewart fumed on Wednesday over President Donald Trump’s "anti-weaponization" fund, arguing it is latest move to "troll" the American people and take their money.

Democrats and even Republican allies have balked at Trump’s nearly $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund as concerns over where the money comes from and who gets it ripple through the Capitol. The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced the $1.78 billion fund earlier this week in a deal struck between Trump and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to drop his $10 billion lawsuit.

Stewart took questions on Wednesday’s episode of his podcast, and was asked whether he would prefer to vote for former President Richard Nixon or Trump.
