This just in: Trevor Noah doesn't like Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump! In a video rant, the Daily Show host laid into Trump with so many criticisms it was hard to keep up. 
Noah, who is South African, took issue with Trump's anti-immigrant sentiment and with his refusal to release his tax returns. On Wednesday, Vice announced it was joining a lawsuit against the IRS and the U.S. Department of Justice demanding the release of Trump's tax audits.
Noah also mocked Trump's campaign slogan, "Make America Great Again."
"What are you going to do next? Make Beyonce sexy again?" Noah joked. 
"You can't 'Make America Great Again,' because it already is," he added.
