Jon Stewart was tickled by Donald Trump's rambling about Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) and election fraud while being asked about Lindsey Graham's death.
Graham died on Saturday, July 11, at the age of 71. Preliminary reports from a medical examiner said the cause of the South Carolina senator's death was an aortic dissection.
Jon talked about Graham's death on the Monday episode. of The Daily Show on July 13. He aired a montage of Trump discussing Graham and his death in multiple phone interviews with news outlets. The 63-year-old late-night host had also brought up the way the president made backhanded remarks and "roasted" Graham in that episode.

Jon played another snippet of Trump's interview with Fox and Friends on July 13.
He played a compilation of the phone conversation in which the 80-year-old president ranted about TDS and election fraud while co-host Lawrence Jones tried to get Trump back on the topic at hand: Graham.
Trump had mentioned earlier that he had a phone call with Graham just hours before his death. Lawrence tried to ask about the call, specifically, if he had observed anything different about the late politician.

Trump didn't seem interested in that as he touted his false election fraud claims.
Trump said, "These people suffer from a very fine disease known as Trump derangement syndrome. And yeah, he was seeing that. And–"
Lawrence tried to interject, "Mr. President, did you notice any–"
Trump went on to say, continuing, "He's really come a long way terminating the filibuster."

Trump said, "They found millions and millions of ballots. Look at California. They found millions and millions of ballots. It's impossible…"
The montage played another excerpt of Trump still not answering Lawrence's question as he ranted.
Trump said, "They didn't know in two weeks. They let it be known an hour later–"
Lawrences said, So, Mr. President–
Trump chimed in, "–that Steve Wilton– Steve Hilton had–"
Lawrence is trying to ask again, "So, Mr. President, real quickly, did you notice anything different from Lindsey–"
Trump kept talking, "And he's gonna be in the runoff."

Lawrence continued, –On the phone?"
Trump added, "These elections are very dishonest."
The montage ended with Lawrence saying, "No" in response. After the video compilation finished, Jon was seen laughing as he covered his mouth. The audience was laughing as well.
"Oh, no, I'm sorry, Mr. President," Jon stated after he composed himself, pretending to be Lawrence in the interview. "The TV station's going through a tunnel! Boop."
