Trevor Noah has a theory about President Trump and his wife, first lady Melania Trump, and he laid it out on Wednesday's Daily Show. "While her husband has struggled to get his approval rating over 40 percent, Melania has consistently remained the country's most popular Trump," he said. "And personally, I love her, too. Because we have so much in common: We're both immigrants, neither of us would be here if it weren't for Donald Trump, and — I'm just going to put it out there — we're both style icons."
But "in the wake of Trump's recent immigration crackdown, I've started to notice something that's got me really concerned: I think Donald Trump is trying to deport Melania," Noah said. Why would he do that? "I don't know, but things haven't exactly been perfect between them," he said, laying out his evidence. "And I know it sounds crazy — Donald Trump wants to deport his wife? But if you look at all of Trump's immigration policies, a lot of people think that he just hates immigrants, but when you put them all together, you start to notice a pattern: All of his policies seem to be aimed at his wife!"
