Trevor Noah’s The Daily Show suggested that Florida should be blown up shortly after it appeared President Trump would snag the state.
“Do we have this technology yet?” the Daily Show’s Twitter account posted just before 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The tweet was accompanied by a video showing a Star Wars scene when the Death Star destroyed a planet — but, in this case, showed Florida being obliterated.

“There’s never been anything like it to support our incredible movement. We won states that we weren’t expected to win. Florida, we didn’t win it. We won it by a lot,” Trump said during his election night speech.
“So, Florida was a tremendous victory. 377,000 votes,” he added.
Trump won 51.2% of the vote in the state, garnering 5,646,949 of the votes, according to the New York Times. Former Vice President Joe Biden earned 47.8% of the vote, with 5,269,926 votes.
