The Daily Show will be trolling Trump on his birthday with ads on Fox News
The Daily Show would like to wish President Trump a very happy 73rd birthday on Friday.
To celebrate the anniversary of the day Trump came into this world, the Comedy Central show is bringing its Presidential Twitter Library to Washington for the weekend. The pop-up exhibit, which has already traveled to Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, features some of the president's most famous tweets, such as the ever-mysterious "covfefe." The tweets on display are accompanied by some very serious scholarly analysis, as well.
But how, you ask, will Trump learn about his birthday festivities? The Daily Show's got a plan for that — it's running ads for the library during two of Trump's favorite shows on Fox News, Fox & Friends in the morning and Hannity in the evening. The ad will reportedly air multiple times during both programs through Saturday. Watch the ad below. Tim O'Donnell
