Jon Stewart has already made his feelings clear on Donald Trump's inauguration, but in the Daily Show video above host Ronny Chieng gives a running commentary on some of the day's more ridiculous moments.

Chieng starts with the inauguration party, going through everything from Trump's "grand entrance in front of a Windows 95 screensaver" to the cake with an airplane on it ("the coolest thing any six-year-old boy can have").

Chieng then moves on to the executive order signing, from Trump throwing pens into the crowd ("Whoever caught that pen is so lucky. That is gonna be such a cool thing for those guys to show their kids once they get their visitation rights back,") to Trump saying a gleeful "ooh" when handed the order to withdraw from the WHO ("He's withdrawing from the World Health Organisation like he's hearing the dessert options," says Chieng. "I'll have the tiramisu and the potential measles outbreak.")

For a reminder of some of the things Trump promised in his inauguration day speech, Mashable's recapped the whole thing.
