    How has this not aged well?

      In 2017, Trump gave - what seemed like - an hyperbole at the time: "If we allow to take down the confederate statues, next will be G. Washington and T. Jefferson".
      J. Oliver called out that hyperbole by comparing it to kids going from playing with tweezers to consuming heroine.
      In 2020, they are indeed taking down G. Washington and T. Jefferson statues.

      @@wtdata if anything, that means it HAS aged well, since it's still applicable.

    Oye vee my grandparents' parents thought the same way that toppled statues were okay, then came the book, and then people. I disagree with many of DT's twits but this one has some truth compared to what has happened in the past. There are not many countries with you can run and hide if the US goes down.

    John ohh John you showed your ass on this one. Not the first time won’t be the last either. That’s what happens when you rationalize the mob.

    John Oliver is not ok and should not be on TV. He is not funny.

      That seems like a pretty subjective take, don't you think?

      What's the matter? The idea of Trump being a xenophobic hypocrite too incomprehensible for you're liking?
