Even before The Trump came up with his 'keep Muslims out' promise, he was being described as a nomination candidate unfit to stand on the same stage with the other contenders. Back then, Daily Show host Trevor Noah announced it was the other way round: the stage was unfit for Donald Trump.

Noah went on to explain in that episode (video above), which seems even more relevant now, that Trump's pronouncements made him very similar to several political leaders from South Africa and neighbouring countries. And, declared the host, Trump would in fact make the ideal President – of Africa.

In one of the most telling sequences in the video, Trump was seen stating without irony how rich he is, and how good the brain he has been given is – though that might seem doubtful to many. Especially after it appeared that he has been echoing the infamous former Ugandan president Idi Amin almost word for word. Noah's grin said it all.America's comedy show hosts sure won't want Trump to fade away any time soon.
