Jeb Bush has seemed a little, well, sad lately. He recently told a group of school children about the "deep, spiraling depression" his father, former President George. H. W. Bush, would send him into as a kid; other notable campaign slip-ups include Bush shouting, "I've got a lot of really cool things I could do other than sit around, being miserable, listening to people demonize me and feeling compelled to demonize them."
But The Daily Show's Trevor Noah is here to help. After recapping SeaWorld's planned changes to their killer whale shows, which were brought about by accusations of animal cruelty highlighted in the documentary Blackfish, Noah executed a perfect segue: "At first glance the whales look like they're having fun in these environments, but if you look closely, their suffering is apparent. And recently, I realized that Republicans have their own Blackfish. His name is Jeb Bush," Noah said.
