Now that Donald Trump is a few months into his second presidency, Jon Stewart wants to check in on his promise to bring "accountability back," sharing a clip of Trump repeating the classic statement, "The buck stops here."

As you can probably guess, what follows is a series of clips of the president denying knowledge of everything from the now infamous Signal group chat leak to the launch of TRUMP coin.

"'I don't know much about it, other than I launched it,'" repeats a stunned Stewart in the Daily Show video above. "Crypto coin, nuclear missiles. I don't know much about it, I just launch 'em. 'Hey, Mr. President, could you take this?' 'Yeah, what's it to do with?' 'Just launch it.' You start to wonder: Does the buck stop anywhere with this dude?"

What follows is an even longer monologue clip of Trump denying knowledge of pretty much anything he doesn't want to talk to a reporter about.

"So many things that Trump seemingly has no involvement in! Is it possible he's been severed?" asks Stewart, before bringing up a clip of Trump dancing. "Is that what all the choreography and merriment is about?"
