“I’m not a constitutional scholar, so I can’t necessarily say, but are you eligible to run if you are a man-baby, or a baby-man?” former Daily Show host Jon Stewart joked about Donald Trump. | Getty Jon Stewart goes on rant against 'man-baby' Trump 
 
 Jon Stewart may no longer be hosting his show known for biting takedowns of political figures, but that didn’t stop him Monday from going on an epic rant against Donald Trump. The former “Daily Show” host told David Axelrod at the University of Chicago Institute of Politics that he isn’t even sure the presumptive Republican nominee is eligible for the presidency. 
 
 “I’m not a constitutional scholar, so I can’t necessarily say, but are you eligible to run if you are a man-baby, or a baby-man?” Stewart said during a taping of Axelrod’s podcast “The Axe Files.” “He has the physical countenance of a man and a baby’s temperament and hands.”

 Stewart went on to describe Trump as thin-skinned and an “unrepentant, narcissistic a--hole.” And he mocked Trump’s campaign slogan. “When was America great? What is this time that he speaks of? ’81 to ’82? Like what are we talking about? And who took your country away from you?” he said. 
 
 But the comedian didn’t exactly have nice words for Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, either, calling her a “very bright woman without the courage of her convictions, because I’m not even sure what they are.” 
 
 "That is not to say that she is not preferable to Donald Trump because, at this point, I would vote for Mr. T over Donald Trump," he said. 
 
 Stewart had some harsh words for the candidates' political parties as well. While the Republican Party's "sole purpose is to freeze the government and to not fix any of the problems that are associated with it,” the Democratic Party has failed to make government more efficient and opened the door to a Trump candidacy, he said. 
 
 He also criticized the media's coverage of the 2016 campaigns, saying the relationship between journalists and politicians is no longer one of "predator and prey" but of remora and shark. Stewart said 24-hour networks amplify voices that are "the most conflict-oriented, the most extreme," and Trump's strategy has been the same as Jonny Fairplay's on "Survivor." 
 
 After he got into a back-and-forth with Axelrod about the role and efficiency of government, Stewart praised the comedians who have done segments on the 2016 race, including John Oliver, Samantha Bee, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, Trevor Noah and Larry Wilmore. 
 
 "I am so impressed and amazed at the level of insight and wit that is displayed on television every day," Stewart said. "There is no dearth." 
 
 And his advice for young people interested in getting into politics? 
 
 "Get into it, and don’t get it on you,” he said.

 (CNN) Jon Stewart launched a stinging new round of criticism against Donald Trump on Monday, calling the presumptive Republican presidential nominee a thin-skinned hypocrite who ridicules political rivals and minorities but implodes when faced with even a minor slight. 
 
 "He is a man-baby," Stewart told David Axelrod during a live taping of "The Axe Files," a podcast produced by CNN and the University of Chicago Institute of Politics. "He has the physical countenance of a man and a baby's temperament and hands. ... (Vanity Fair editor) Graydon Carter did a joke about Donald Trump's hands 25 years ago, he's still not f---ing over it." 
 
 If Trump really wants to engage a politically incorrect debate, Stewart said, he should tell voters, "The problems in this country are not because of Mexicans and Muslims." 
 
 Stewart also talked about Trump's likely opponent this fall, Democrat Hillary Clinton 
 
 He described the former secretary of state as "a very bright woman without the courage of her convictions."

– Jon Stewart handed over the reins to the Daily Show just as the wildest election season in decades kicked into gear—but he hasn't lost his edge. In a taping of David Axelrod's Axe Files podcast, Stewart wondered if thin-skinned "man-baby" Donald Trump was even eligible to be president, CNN reports. "Are you eligible to run if you are a man-baby or a baby-man? I don't know," he said. "He has the physical countenance of a man and a baby's temperament and hands." Politico notes that Stewart also mocked Trump's campaign slogan, saying, "When was America great? What is this time that he speaks of? '81 to '82? Like what are we talking about?" In true Daily Show style, Stewart was also scathing about the Democrats. "The door is open to an asshole like Donald Trump because the Democrats haven't done enough to show people that government, that can be effective for people, can be efficient for people," he said. "And if you can't do that, then you've lost the right to make that change and someone's going to come in and demagogue you." He described Hillary Clinton as a "very bright woman without the courage of her convictions"—but "that is not to say that she is not preferable to Donald Trump because, at this point, I would vote for Mr. T over Donald Trump." (In 2012, Stewart urged "gift from the comedy gods" Trump to run for president to keep it from being a dull race between Obama and "Captain Chucklebuns" Mitt Romney.)
