Comedian and television host Jon Stewart drew attention Saturday after asserting that Donald Trump should not be compared to Adolf Hitler, arguing that Hitler’s popularity sets the two figures apart, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.

Stewart made the remarks during Saturday’s episode of The Late Show with Jon Stewart, addressing repeated comparisons between President Trump and the Nazi dictator.

“People keep saying this guy is Hitler. No, he’s not. And I’ll tell you why he’s not. Hitler was popular,” Stewart said during the broadcast. “This guy is not. It ain’t flying in a lot of places where you think it might be flying.”

Stewart’s comments came amid ongoing political debate and media scrutiny surrounding President Trump.

Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party rose to power through democratic elections in Germany before establishing a totalitarian regime that punished dissent with imprisonment or death.

President Trump, by contrast, has won three consecutive presidential elections despite sustained opposition from major media outlets and political institutions.

Since returning to television in 2024 after a lengthy hiatus, Stewart has repeatedly weighed in on Trump administration policies and immigration enforcement, often drawing criticism for his remarks.

Just one week prior to Saturday’s episode, Stewart commented on the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, an anti-ICE protester who was shot after an encounter with a federal immigration officer.

Authorities have said Good attempted to use her vehicle against an officer during a targeted enforcement operation.

“When I look at that video, I don’t see both sides in a dogmatic stance,” Stewart said during that segment.

“I see a woman, maybe naive, sitting in a car thinking she has to do something and she’s going to block something, and a wildly extreme overreaction to that small act of defiance.”

“And then, like, I just—when they say, like, she was radicalized, I just think, well, there are masked gunmen in her neighborhood who she’s read about taking 17-year-old kids and pulling them off the street,” Stewart added.

Federal officials have disputed that characterization, saying the officer involved acted in self-defense after Good ignored commands and accelerated her vehicle toward him.

The incident has since fueled protests in several cities and remains under federal review.

Stewart has also openly criticized news organizations over their handling of Trump’s presidency.

During an interview with Christiane Amanpour on CNN, Stewart argued that journalists should intensify their opposition to Trump rather than attempt neutrality.

According to Stewart, the media should “double down” on anti-Trump coverage, which he described as the most effective form of resistance to the administration.

The remarks have added to the ongoing debate over the role of entertainers and media figures in shaping political narratives, particularly as Stewart continues to blend comedy with direct commentary on current events.
