Samantha Bee is going to haunt President Donald Trump for the next four years. Her brutal honesty was alive and well in her latest takedown of Trump's "not-a-Muslim-ban Muslim ban."

Bee rips into Trump from the onset of the Full Frontal segment. "You can't just shake your keys and distract us from the giant mess you made," she says. "We're not cable news, we're Americans, and we would like a word." Bee also isn't afraid to call out her main concern with the ban: why is the White House so Islamophobic?

Referring to the fact that no citizens from the countries listed on the ban have committed acts of terrorism in the United States, Bee says, "We learned years ago that using national origin as a basis for exclusion didn't work and it pissed off our allies."

Trump has tried to defend the order by citing one of Barack Obama's orders on Iraqi refugees as a precedent. But, expectedly, Bee has an answer to that too. "People didn't protest because Obama didn't ban anyone or suspend visa applications," Bee says. "He just added new vetting requirements that slowed processing down."

Bee also points out all of the people who don't support the ban: veterans, the Koch Brothers (who are mega Republican donors), and Christian groups. The best part of this segment comes last, when Bee slams Trump for claiming Democratic minority leader Chuck Schumer's tears over the ban were fake.

"I'm sorry, who's the bigger sissy? The Holocaust victim's great-grandson who teared up over families being torn apart," Bee pokes, "or the guy who's afraid to walk down stairs?"

In another segment, Bee dismantles Trump's decision to fire Acting Attorney General Sally Yates for refusing to defend his ban, and she does so by comparing him to none other than Paris Geller from Gilmore Girls.

It wasn't that Yates was fired, it was that she was fired for "betrayal" that was so concerning, Bee explains. "Remember in Gilmore Girls when Paris Geller staffs the school newspaper with all her most loyal friends with no regard for talent level?" Bee asks. "It's like that, but with the leader of the free world . . . and nukes."
