Stewart stepping back from the Daily Show is also probably a big reason why Trump got elected in 2016.

That may be true but it's unfair to put so much on one man.

Whether it’s true or not it has definitely crossed Jon’s mind a time or two I’m sure.

It is, though I think it was just a perfect shitstorm of Stewarts way of eviscerating trump was missing, disillusionment in the obama era (mainly die to republican obstructionism), disillusionment in Hillary as a candidate, some people wanting revenge for Bernie and ofc, reddit+facebook+twitter disinformation campaigns being new and highly effective at manipulating voters
