TV host Trevor Noah compared designated Pakistan PM Imran Khan to US President Donald Trump on the latest episode of The Daily Show.
He compared speeches of the American President Donald Trump and those of Prime Minister-in-waiting, Imran Khan and pointed out similarities in their speeches. He also went on to speak about the two leaders' marrying thrice and their place of residence.
When Noah made those comments, the response of Twitter users ranged from applauding him for making the observation to calling him out and pointing out that he couldn't be more wrong.
The former Pakistani cricketer and chief of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran is now set to be sworn in on August 18 as the new Prime Minister of Pakistan. PTI won with 116 seats, just short of the required 137 to be the majority.
While the party was in talks with smaller parties to form a coalition, they were allotted 28 seats for women and five seats for non-Muslims.
Here are a few reactions to the comparison between Donald Trump and Imran Khan:

@TheDailyShow calling Imran Khan a brown Trump is rude and shows lack of homework and preparation. Please talk about the ONLY successful cancer hospitals run by Khan. How many philanthropic projects does Trump overlook? What difference have they made?

You are late to the party mate.
We Pakistanis figured this out when Trump started his campaign!
