The Daily Show with Trevor Noah Season 2017 Episode 12 The Celebrity Appresident: Inauguration Day 2017

The Daily Show with Trevor Noah season 2017 episode 12, titled "The Celebrity Appresident: Inauguration Day 2017," covers the events of January 20, 2017, when Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States.

The episode begins with Trevor Noah introducing the show as the first one after the election and inauguration, and acknowledging that it's been a tough week for many Americans. He then dives into the inauguration, starting with a montage of Trump's 2016 campaign promises and contrasting them with the more inclusive message of President Obama's final speech.

Next, Noah discusses the controversy surrounding the attendance at Trump's inauguration, with many news outlets and social media users comparing photos of the National Mall during Trump's oath of office to photos of the same area during Obama's inauguration in 2009. Noah pokes fun at Trump's press secretary Sean Spicer for his angry tirade at the media over the issue, and notes that the low attendance could be due to a combination of weather, security concerns, and increased online viewership.

Noah then moves on to the actual inauguration ceremony, which he notes was notably absent of any A-list celebrities. He jokes that he expected to see "Pitbull performing at the Lincoln Memorial with lasers shooting out of his eyes," but instead, the ceremony had to settle for lower-tier performers like 3 Doors Down and Toby Keith.

As Trump takes the oath of office, Noah notes that many people are feeling angry, scared, and uncertain about what the next four years will bring. He highlights some of the more controversial things Trump has said and done in the past, including his comments about women, immigrants, and Muslims.

Noah then shifts to a segment about Trump's new administration, starting with his cabinet picks. He points out that many of them have little to no experience in the areas they'll be overseeing, and that some of them have even been vocal about wanting to dismantle the very agencies they'll be leading. Noah jokes that Trump's team is like a "basket of deplorables," a reference to Hillary Clinton's infamous campaign gaffe.

The episode concludes with Noah speaking to correspondent Jordan Klepper, who is reporting from the streets of Washington D.C. during the inauguration. Klepper discusses the protests taking place around the city, as well as the mood among Trump supporters and detractors. He notes that while there is a lot of anger and division right now, there are also glimmers of hope and solidarity among those who are fighting for a better future.

Overall, the episode is a mix of humor, commentary, and reflection on a historic day in American politics. Noah and his team are able to find the lighter side of a serious and controversial event, while also acknowledging the many challenges and concerns that lie ahead for the country.
