Daily Show trolls Trumps new celebrity cabinet picks with parody training video

Another day, another raft of confusing new celebrity picks from Trump.

The latest of these are TV’s Dr. Oz for to lead Medicare and Medicaid (“I’m impressed he didn’t pick Dr. Pepper,” says Daily Show host Desi Lydic in the clip above), and Linda McMahon – wife of infamous WWE boss Vince McMahon – for Education Secretary.

The Daily Show‘s response? A parody training video for these new recruits. “If you’re watching this, you’re a random television personality Donald Trump just appointed to run a huge federal agency,” says correspondent Grace Kuhlenschmidt, in character as an instructor. “Right now you may be wondering: ‘How did I get this job?’ ‘So I’m just in charge now?’ And, ‘Wait, what is my job again?’ Well I can I assure you, the answer to all these questions is: I don’t f***ing know.”
