Stewart, who is an executive producer on the show, emerged wearing an overly long tie and a “dead animal” fixed to his head in a surreal imitation of the U.S. leader. He then mocked President Trump’s rapid signing of multiple executive orders by reading out a list of future ones including an order to have China “send us their wall” to secure the U.S. border. Then, turning more serious, Stewart accused President Trump of acting with unprecedented menace in his first days in office. “We have never faced this before,” he said. “Purposeful, vindictive chaos.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4656270/jon-stewart-stephen-colbert-the-late-show-the-daily-show/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4656270/jon-stewart-stephen-colbert-the-late-show-the-daily-show/"},"headline":"Jon Stewart Reveals Donald Trump's Next Executive Orders to Stephen Colbert","datePublished":"2017-02-01T11:19:37.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T03:03:59.309Z","description":"The comedian reunited with old friend Stephen Colbert to share his thoughts on the \"chaos\" of President Trump's first days in office","url":"https://time.com/4656270/jon-stewart-stephen-colbert-the-late-show-the-daily-show/","keywords":["Television","stephen colbert","USA","Donald Trump","Jon Stewart","onetime","the late show wih stephen colbert"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8c38c872d02c6f03/6988b8438fd2eea4183559f6/gettyimages-579868452.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Zamira Rahim","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/zamira-rahim/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8c38c872d02c6f03/6988b8438fd2eea4183559f6/gettyimages-579868452.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The Late Show with Stephen Colbert","caption":"The Late Show with Stephen Colbert","creditText":"Scott Kowalchyk—CBS Photo Archive—CBS via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4656270/jon-stewart-stephen-colbert-the-late-show-the-daily-show/","name":"Jon Stewart Reveals Donald Trump's Next Executive Orders to Stephen Colbert"}}]}] ```
