Voting for Donald Trump? Think again. The Last Show Tonight with John Oliver ripped apart Trump for the ‘liar’ that he is. The HBO host dedicated the show’s main story to the Republican candidate after avoiding it for four months, and yes, the audience negatively reacted to it, but that was only momentary. Once Oliver picked up momentum on dissecting Trump, audience and viewers across the world, we’re sure, couldn’t stop laughing and wondering why Trump is actually a popular candidate to become the next president of the United States of America.
Verbal Smackdown
Oliver unleashed some ‘sheer-awesome’ in a 20-minute rant on the Republican frontrunner. His points included Trumps insensitivity, his verbal excellence, and of course, the development of the new campaign slogan ‘Make Donald Drumpf Again’.
He is America’s back mole. It may have seemed harmless a year ago, but now that it has gotten frighteningly bigger, it is no longer wise to ignore it.
He Wished the Losers and Haters a ‘Happy 9/11’
Family Name ‘Drumpf’
Oliver touched on the real-estate mogul’s brand name ‘Trump’. After his team did some extensive research, he found clips of people saying that Trump implied wealth. It definitely has that ka-ching sound to it. What’s better is this:
The very name Trump is the cornerstone of his brand. If only, there was a way to uncouple that magical word from the man he really is. Well, guess what? There is!
A book reveals that Trump’s ancestor changed their family name from Drumpf to Trump.
Drumpf is much less magical. It’s the sound produced when a morbidly obese pigeon flies into the window of a foreclosed Old Navy.
It Doesn’t End There
Oliver then unveiled a new “Last Week Tonight”-owned website, which pledges to ‘Make Donald Drumpf Again’. It has a ‘Drumpfinator Chrome extension’ which automatically changes ‘Trump’ to ‘Drumpf’ on your browser. He ended the show with a campaign anthem that tells you why NOT to vote for ‘Donald Drumpf’.
So if you are thinking of voting for Donald Trump, the charismatic guy promising to make America great again, stop and take a moment to imagine how you would feel if you just met a guy named Donald Drumpf, a litigious serial liar with a string of broken business ventures and the support of a former Klan leader, who he can’t decide whether or not to condemn. Would you think that he would make a good president, or is the spell now somewhat broken?
