Jon Stewart is no stranger to satire. In fact, it's kind of his thing.

His latest bit parodies former President Donald Trump's recent letter to SAG-AFTRA president Gabrielle Carteris, in which he churlishly resigned from the guild.


Trump's letter came amid disciplinary proceedings within the guild that could have resulted in Trump's expulsion from the union.

After news of Trump's letter started to spread, Stewart released his own grumpy mock resignation from the union via Twitter—Trump's former favorite platform, which he is still banned from using.

He even signed the tweet "President Jon Stewart."

While it is not likely a surprise that Trump chose to quit before the union could expel him, the level of childishness exhibited by his resignation letter was evidently a surprise to some.

Stewart was far from the only person dragging the letter on Twitter.

While Trump has largely been deplatformed online—after being banned from several social media services—he still managed to get his name out there by being extra mockable.

Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
