The “Daily Show” thinks Iran’s gift to President Donald Trump is pretty epic — literally.

On Tuesday, the president bragged about an expensive and “very big present” that Iran supposedly gave him, which Trump implied was indicative of the country’s readiness to make a deal to end the war.

“They’re gonna make a deal. They did something yesterday that was amazing, actually,” Trump told reporters during Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin’s swearing-in ceremony. “They gave us a present, and the present arrived today. It was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money. I’m not gonna tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize.”

Although calling the gift a “significant prize” makes it sound like it was a cereal box decoder ring, “Daily Show” host Josh Johnson thought Trump’s description of the cryptic gift sounded oddly familiar for a completely different reason.

“Wait, you got a gift from the people you are currently at war with?” Johnson began. “When I was at school and they made us read the ‘Odyssey,’ I couldn’t believe the Trojans fell for that Trojan horse. And now I’m watching it happen in real time.”

Johnson went on to imagine a pretty mythic scenario involving Trump and his Iranian gift that feels like it could be a reality.

“The Secret Service is going to be like, ‘Mr. President, please don’t bring that [gift] to the situation room.’”

Johnson then imagined Trump’s response:

“But it’s expensive! And it’s ticking, I bet it’s a watch.”

It’s unclear whether or not Trump actually got a gift from Iran — but what is clear is that officials from the Middle Eastern country do not seem eager to put an end to the conflict.

Trump purported Monday that he held talks with Iranian leaders over the weekend, but Iranian officials have denied any such talks occurred, and have publicly called the claim “fake news.”
