MAKE DONALD
DRUMPF AGAIN!
John Oliver Demolishes
‘Serial Liar’ Donald Trump
Launches Campaign To
#MakeDonaldDrumpfAgain
John Oliver is finally taking on Donald Trump — and the “Last Week Tonight” host is not mincing words.
“At this point, Donald Trump is America’s back mole,” Oliver said on
Sunday’s episode. “It may have seemed harmless a year ago, but now that
it’s become frighteningly bigger, it’s no longer wise to ignore it.”
Oliver, who has largely avoided discussing Trump on his show, was unequivocal in his criticism of the Republican frontrunner.
Trump is a “bullshit artist,” Oliver said, and “a litigious serial liar with a string of broken business ventures and the support of a former Klan leader.”
Over the course of about 20 minutes, Oliver systematically dismantled
Trump’s “successful” and “tough” image, and urged voters to think
deeply about the billionaire’s policies rather than focusing on his
“brand.”
“A candidate for president needs a coherent set of policies. Whatever
you think about Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, at least you basically know
where they stand, but Trump’s opinions have been wildly inconsistent,”
said Oliver. “He’s been pro choice and pro life; he’s been for and against assault weapon bans; in favor of both bringing in Syrian refugees and deporting them out of the country.”
What’s frightening, Oliver added, is that “we have no way of knowing which of [Trump’s] inconsistent views
he will hold in office … Will he stand by his statement that vaccines
are linked to autism or his belief that Mexico is sending us rapists?”
Or will he implement his plan to defeat ISIS by killing families of terrorists?
In order to help voters separate the man from the brand, Oliver
announced a new campaign to “uncouple the magical word [‘Trump’] from
the man he really is.” And it seems Oliver didn’t have to dig very deep
to find a way to do this.
According to journalist Gwenda Blair in her book “The Trumps: Three
Generations That Built An Empire,” Trump’s family name was actually
changed at one point from the significantly less impressive-sounding
last name “Drumpf.”
“Fucking Drumpf!” Oliver exclaimed with delight. “Drumpf is much less
magical. It’s the sound produced when a morbidly obese pigeon flies
into the window of a foreclosed Old Navy. Drumpf: It’s the sound of a bottle of store-brand root beer falling off the shelf in a gas station minimart.”
Oliver told the audience that the show had filed paperwork to trademark the name “Drumpf” and purchased the domain DonaldJDrumpf.com,
where netizens can buy a special “Make Donald Drumpf Again”
hat. Visitors can even download a Google Chrome extension that will
replace the word “Trump” with “Drumpf” whenever it appeared in your
browser.
