Minnesota Governor Tim Walz made his debut appearance on “The Daily Show” on Tuesday, where he discussed the ongoing political landscape and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. But the interview also took a lighthearted turn when host Jon Stewart playfully teased former President Donald Trump‘s recent foray into the fast-food business.

During their conversation, Stewart, who had been critical of Trump’s handling of the pandemic, expressed surprise at the former president’s sudden shift to working at a McDonald’s in Florida. “Trump’s just out there farting around,” Stewart quipped, “I thought he was going to be running for president again. I thought he’d be getting the band back together, the MAGA hat band.”

The playful jab was met with laughter from the studio audience and Walz, who acknowledged the absurdity of the situation. “He’s got a lot of time on his hands, apparently,” Walz chuckled. “He’s definitely not spending it on anything productive.”

The governor also discussed his efforts to address the pandemic’s lasting impact on Minnesota, including the need to invest in mental health services and address learning loss among students. He emphasized the importance of bipartisan cooperation to tackle these challenges, saying “we need to work together, even if we disagree on some things.”

Despite the lighter moments, the interview touched on the seriousness of the issues facing the nation. While poking fun at Trump’s post-presidential ventures, Stewart ultimately highlighted the need for responsible leadership in these turbulent times. Walz’s appearance on “The Daily Show” provided a platform to discuss these issues and offer his perspective on the path forward.
