Just a pet peeve of mine, but can we please stop using hyperbolic memes such as "so-and-so DESTROYED" a political figure? It's not even metaphorically apt, since the effect of the segment has very little impact on reality whatsoever. How about just, "Trevor Noah does great send-up of Donald Trump."

however, in times such as these, humor is especially necessary. Definitely better to laugh than to be crying or cowering in fear.

He's destroyed, so that means that if he still exists at all, he has no power left. Correct?

'Destroy' does not mean 'made a good argument against'

We have to stop talking this way when someone on our side does a good job of preaching to the choir.
