"We have been so concerned about all the scary things Trump's gonna do that we forgot he's also gonna do some really stupid things."

This is Daily Show host Desi Lydic's lead in to Trump's recent foreign policy comments, which seems to largely consist of a list of places that he wants to become part of the U.S.

In the footage above Lydic responds to Trump's suggestion Canada merge with the US ("Canada can't become part of America, that's the country I pretend to be from when I'm travelling abroad!"), taking over the Panama Canal ("Because why stop at just controlling birth canals") and saying the US needs Greenland for national security.

"Of course we do! Greenland is vital for our national security," Lydic said. "It's the only way to stop Santa Claus from waltzing on down from the North Pole and ****ing our wives."
