Nine months after falling off the face of the earth (or at least his Comedy Central show), Jon Stewart has landed on a podcast to render judgment on Donald Trump. It wasn’t positive.

“Are you eligible to run if you are a man-baby? Or a baby man?” said “The Daily Show” host emeritus. He made the remarks Monday while talking to David Axelrod, chief strategist for Barack Obama’s presidential camping.

The taping was for “The Axe Files” at the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics.

CBS News quoted Stewart: “Look, I don’t know —and again I’m not here to be politically incorrect — if they’re referred to as man-baby Americans, but he is a man-baby. He has the physical countenance of a man and a baby’s temperament and hands.”

Stewart said Trump once tweeted at him and he decided to tweet back at him with his “real name.” “I don’t know if you guys know this, but it’s F***face von Clownstick,” he said. “We wanted to know why he was running away from the von Clownstick heritage.”

But who’s he for in the Democratic race?

Stewart said of Hillary Clinton: “I imagine her to be a very bright woman without the courage of her convictions — because I’m not even sure what they are.”
