Comedian and host Jon Stewart jestingly compared America to YouTube personality and professional boxer, Jake Paul, in one of his recent commentaries. The comparison was drawn in a humorous attempt to summarize the current state of the nation – loud, brash, and often not taken seriously. Just like Jake Paul, Stewart stated how America can sometimes impact the world theatrically, instead of maintaining its once reputable image as the world’s beacon of democracy and stability.
Similar to Jake Paul’s unexpected win in a boxing match, America occasionally surprises the world positively, as it did with the fast development of COVID-19 vaccines. Despite the occasional victories, Stewart’s underlying commentary points out that the country’s position on the global stage appears to have become more unpredictable and volatile, akin to Jake Paul’s online persona.
