As Jon Stewart points out in the Daily Show monologue above, Kamala Harris' increasing poll popularity appears to have rattled Donald Trump, especially when it comes to publicly criticising his presidential election opponent — and Stewart isn't even talking about his unhinged attacks on Harris' racial identity. It's about the blatantly recycled insults.

"Look people, they pulled the candidate Trump was crushing. It's hard. You think you could write a new hour in a month? It's not easy. He's trying," says Stewart in the clip above, before playing a montage of Trump rehashing old Biden attacks against his new opponent, almost word for word.

"This is just a remix?" says a mock exasperated Stewart. "Dude, you can't just find and replace Biden with Kamala, that's lazy apocalypse-ing! If you want us to genuinely fear your opponent as the existential threat you'd like to make them out to be, you're gonna have to do better than boilerplate, cut and paste shit. You're better than this, Donald."
