Obama’s Weird White House Portrait Unveiled & Apple Announces iPhone 14 | The Daily Show 

Ovulation tracker? In this government? Absolutely not.

Not that Trevor will read this, but I wish he would have taken the time to listen to Michelle's words after the unveiling of her painting. So nice to have her eloquence back in the White House, even as a guest. She spoke of the meaning and importance of the portraits and what it meant to her. As always, she made me proud to have had her as our First Lady for 8 years.

Obama & Michelle are straight up relationship goals...the way they looked at each other before undraping the paintings ♡♡♡

I love that Michelle's portrait depicts her with bare arms, which may recall the first of many unjustified criticisms she received as First Lady.

I really liked the contrast in Obama's portrait. He was known to be the first Black President in a predominantly white man's world.

Sad that Former Guy was too petty to allow the unveiling during his term.

Obama’s portrait makes perfect sense. A strong black man standing out in a sea of white. Truly profound statement.

Seeing Barack and Michelle seriously makes me want to cry.

I found Obama's portrait so powerful, so him. Relax, chill.. I loved it!!! Michelle looks gorgeous with that blue dress. 🤩 I watched the whole thing. Made you go back in time when things were normal

President Obama’s portrait is reflective and shows the many aspects of his eight years in office. The stress and strain of being the first black President and the vile things that were done, written and said about him, including the ugliness, disrespect of the Republicans and the vow to not allow him to accomplish nothing while in office. Who could smile with all those thoughts running through his mind. I’m glad they made it out alive.

I think the experience of seeing Obama's portrait in person will be that of feeling like he is standing in the room with you, which is amazing.

I think Obama’s is amazing! It’s realistic and minimalistic. No frills, however, stunning. Both are beautiful portraits.

Obama’s portrait looks like the James Bond intro.

As a woman, I can say that I don't need some tech company knowing my fertility when the SC has basically said that I'm nothing but an incubator with no rights.

I think both portraits were absolutely stunning. The artists captured the true essence of both of them. This is historic! The first African American President and First Lady are taking their rightful place in history.

Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance- wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life..

No offense to President Biden. But I miss the Obamas. Love you guys! You’re so missed. Great speech by First Lady Michelle Obama. Such class act!

TREVOR IS THE BEST AT DELIVERING THE NEWS, LOVE HIS GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR 😍

I really like the Obama portrait, and it reminds me of how I felt when he was starting off his presidency. It was a blank slate, and we didn't know quite what he was going to do with it, but we knew it was going to be incredible because Obama is incredible. It reminds me of hope and potential and coming change.

If you listen to Obama, he explains why he chose his artist. He wanted his portrait to be real because he didn’t want an airbrushed, romanticized painting of him as POTUS. But, I do think some kind of shading in the background would be nice. But again, his portrait will be impactful stuck between George W & Trump. So in that regard I take his point, and he will be the honest and real POTUS sticking out against two dangerous presidents. Michelle’s is gorgeous and I love she is showing her arms! All the hate she took for wearing sleeveless dresses? Well her bare arms and shoulders are forever on display in the WH and I love that!!! Trevor, what about Michelle’s speech? She could run and win!! Michelle 2024💜

The fact that the watch can tell when you're ovulating right in the wake of the roe v Wade nonsense rubs me the wrong way 🙃

Hearing the Obamas was so refreshing. I was going to listen to a few minutes and ended up listening to both of their speeches.

I am amazed at the many different points of view on the Obama portraits! I suppose that art is truly in the eye of the beholder. In any event, The Obamas made us proud of their whole family of the way they presented themselves and represented us as Americans.

I love President Obama he’s so fkn hilarious!!!! And he’s right his beautiful and intelligent wife is foine! 😍💐

Michelle's portrait exudes the fact that she is an intelligent, independent woman of substance, and at home with her sensuality; she *knows* who she is, and is in touch with all aspects of what makes her so attractive. Her sense of humour is also there in the mix. I was startled by Barack's portrait, but one day later, I realise that the stark background emphasises what an extraordinary and unusual human being he is; it makes him stand out, as it should. I also liked the portrayal of him as a "no frills, no fuss" guy. What you see is what you get. Perfect.

that snow days is tradition, i remember waking up, watching tv praying for school to close so i could go back to sleep

Michelle's ombre dress and that kiss he gave her was EVERYTHING!! 🤩 🎉 🎊 💐 😘😘

Love when Trevor does his impressions 😁

i have to disagree, i think Obama's picture is great. He's standing out from the crowd, he doesn't blend in with the rest. all attention is onto him.

I love Barack´s portrait, it´s very powerful. It gives people opportunity, to think about what it means. For me, it is about being strong when standing alone.

His physicality at “Am I in a car crash?”…. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I too grew up in Africa. We didn’t have snow days, we had riots 😂. When Riots are really bad we would miss school.

The portraits of POTUS & FLOTUS Obama are exquisite. I love that side smile on Miss Michelle's face. Every time she threw one of those smiles it was code for OH PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I love it- Ha, Ha.

Let's be honest here. Trump neither wants nor has the ability to do that. He needs the attention. He is desperate for it. You deserve this moment First Lady Michelle Obama. I will never call you former.

No no no Trevor! 😂🤣 The painting of portraits is a tradition and is so much better for art than pictures! I love the two portraits and Obama’s portrait speaks volumes - first black President in the White House!

'You're cruising for a bruising b#@&ch' nice line for my next dual 🥊😂

I thought Obama's portrait was oddly plain. Mrs. O's was stunning, though. My kiddo remarked on how she looked like an American princess, and I thought that was pretty cool. 😊

I like Obama’s portrait. The first thing I thought when I saw it was that it was clean and modern, like his presidency. As I’m reading the comments, I’m also seeing the tension and stress in the portrait.

Trevor you are golden! Loved getting some laughs after a long day teaching future humans.

Why does Trevor make that sound when he imitates Mitch McConnell????😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

As I interpret it the painting represents the black President in a white politics America...so the Obama portrait is actually symbolically great!

Is it just me, but I really like his portrait! There is no background needed.

Obama’s portrait is incredible to me. One thing I realized early on when Obama was a Presidential candidate was that so many members of the general public really didn’t know much about him but spoke as if they did. I realized that so many people projected their own hopes, fears, anger, and biases onto him and interpreted their own projections as his character. This worried me for his sake. While I knew his opponents and enemies on the Right would never correct the misperceptions they spread about him, my concern was that when his supporters on the Left had their idealistic perceptions confronted by the challenges of an actual administration in real life and real time, they’d be disappointed that this guy couldn’t address every problem, would make mistakes, and couldn’t transform this country into an ideal version of what we could be. I was afraid that when they realized this his supporters would turn on him, not because he wasn’t doing an adequate job as POTUS, but because he couldn’t meet their unrealistic expectations. What I like about this portrait is that it doesn’t put Obama in any context. Like the man himself, everything about him other than his figure is to be interpreted by whatever projection is provided by the viewer - there’s nothing to contradict their perspective on him. Obama is the perfect Everyman - even his mixed ethnicity makes him someone that anyone can see themselves - or their enemies - reflected in. This portrait also presents a figure that the viewers have to put into context for themselves. If any of this reads as criticism of Obama, the artist, or the portrait, it’s really not. I voted for Obama, I was satisfied with his job as POTUS and Michelle’s handling of her role as First Lady. As he’s a politician I expect that like all public figures they present to the public exactly what they want the public to see, I have zero idea to what extent that matches or contradicts their private reality. What’s fascinated me more since the Obamas entered public life is the public’s reaction to them. I get the impression that this portrait of Obama, more than any other Presidential portrait, was designed less to be about Obama than about the viewer’s reaction to the portrait. If that’s the case I think that’s absolutely brilliant.

"To Retake Power!" One guy in the audience screaming woot!

Trevor as an African I'm so proud of you... Yesterday I've watched the speech at the white house you nailed it

I think Barack’ s choice of an artist was spot on when you consider the other portraits he painted. Mandala, Ali, and others, all with the same white background. It sends the message that racism can be overcome if we see the person not the color.

😹😹😹Trevor doing the Obama impersonation as a Harry Potter picture just killed me. I love it I hope he makes it a series.

“Technology that we waste on the toilet with” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

That Obama portrait impression was perfection.

That portrait looks like a photograph; his wife’s looks like a painting.

That HT escalated 😂

The South African equivalent of a snow day was teachers strikes 🤣

Wow! Michelle made me cry also. They gave us so many great and heartfelt moments, love them!

Aaah what a delight to hear the Obama’s again- remembering the pre trump era.

Snow day: sorry power is out or internet is down lol

I LOVE Michael Kosta-Everybody!

I honestly really love the bits where the correspondents are assigned certain stories like the stock market or traffic and then just go off on tangents. Like what if other news stations did that?

I thought the Obama's portraits were stunning. I'm happy they're finally where they belong.

I am so glad these finally got into the White House. I have been holding my breath since DJT took office.

Loved Trevor's impersonation of Barack.

Love the Obama's...I love their portraits,both beautiful paintings 🇺🇲❤🇺🇲❤🇺🇲❤

The Obamas chose the painters. These are the painter's style for everyone they've painted. Honestly, I thought the same thing. But, I also acknowledge that these are different from the other portraits. "Different" can be confused with disappointing. I was disappointed at first, but they're different, classy, simplified, and powerful. I see them- not anything else. #context

Obama calling Michelle “fine” is all that i want in life

Great obama impression...very funny😂😂😂

So what I’m hearing, is as a person living in the south in a state with severe laws against abortion of any kind, is to never buy the new Apple Watch. I don’t trust that my state government wouldn’t subpoena Apple for that information if they suspect that a woman has gotten an abortion. Like what were they thinking? For a while there we were telling everyone to delete period tracking apps and then Apple went, “You know what would be a great idea?” Like ??????

A few great points missed: - Is this the first time Michelle has been in the White House with braids?! Gorgeous and revolutionary at the same time! - What if you’re wearing an Apple Watch on a rollercoaster? Will it call 911 cause it thinks your car flipped in a crash? - Women in red states’d better disable that fertility feature on the Apple Watch, lest they want to be in the GOP’s Handsmaid’s Tale fantasy

1:22 Trevor you have my heart.

siiiiiiiiiiiiiick joke by Costa at the end there: ...Steve Jobs "Is that a coincidence that he's named after the way we all make money?" ROFLOLLL 😂💼

That crash detection app already exists for bicyclists. I know of several people who have had 911 called, with one person having been unconscious and the phone/watch acting as a beacon for the park ranger. The ovulation tracker is going to be considered as a bug, not a feature in large areas of the US

I wouldn't want something tracking my menstrual cycles given the fight for women's healthcare. Can u imagine if the watch incorrectly detected and some watchdog group barges in to arrest a woman because it said she was pregnant and now she isn't?

Ah, I don’t wanna be that guy… 🤣🤣🤣 But why does Trevor sound like Hughey from family guy this whole episode lol

“I have superpower I am 1st Russian with ability to smile”😂😂😂😂🤣

I love when Trevor does the Russian accent😁.

So the apple watch can detect your fertility cycle, any variation to your cycle, and your location. Including whether you move closer to an abortion clinic. Hmmm. Perhaps if you are a woman of child bearing age you should just stick with Timex watches for now.

That’s like telling guys in the middle of a fist fight to stop and move over there

Trevor: you gotta wait like 3 hours while they’re painting your portrait Me (paints portraits professionally) to my models: now this won’t take very long, I should have this painting done in about three weeks 😂😂😂

The USB had me dying 😂

The first thing that came to my mind when I saw Obama's portrait was that it looked like the blinding white background from The Matrix. Barack will always be The One in my eyes so the portrait is fitting for someone of his magnitude.

Trevor is the most underrated comedian… even his worst jokes are funny af 🤣🤣🤣 he never misses I swear

Top Drawer Trevor! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥 🤣🤣🤣

Love the work you do Trevor 🙂

I love it. Its totally different than anything else hanging on the White house walls.

The Apple portion reminded me of that scene in Don’t Look Up.

I loved the white background. Very modern. And the painting was just like a photo. Very pleased with this piece

So now Apple's selling "vehicular black boxes???" The ONLY thing I want my iPhone to do if I die in a car crash is automatically purge my browser history!

At least snow days will be attend class in pajamas from your bed days

I love both of the portraits.

Hands down one of the funniest daily shows I’ve seen.

'Just take a picture' It's about art appreciation. It often takes a lifetime to master portrait art and it has huge historical significance.

Obama Lights up the World . is the meaning of the painting

I really love your satirical and fun POV at literally anything, you make me laugh. Keep it up, Trevor

The Whitehouse man! Get it?! Lol

anyone else wondering why iphone is building a fertility tracker into it's phone's hardware?

If seeing Trevor giving a “Russian smile “ doesn’t make you laugh or feel happy…go to a doctor. I’m rollin”!!!

Not only are the images very cool, the asymmetrical frame on BHO's portrait is awesome.

Who else lost it when he got the USB out 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

What about designing a cigarette which is actually a small flavored air purifier? We need fresh, clean air more than anything!

I love Noah! Everything that he said is so funny! It is relaxing to watch him!

7:50 I spit my drink out when he said "This is the Republicans job" 😂🤣

Michigan in the house! Detroit love and gratitude!
