'Last Week Tonight' host criticized Republican nominee's apology for calling President Obama "founder of ISIS"
n
Sunday's Last Week Tonight, John Oliver called out Donald Trump for his
"douchebag's apology" to President Obama for calling him the "founder
of ISIS."
The Republican presidential nominee stated in a
campaign speech that Obama was responsible for the terrorist
organization. Then in a subsequent rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, Trump
said that his comments were meant sarcastically. "So I said 'the founder
of ISIS.' Obviously I'm being sarcastic … but not that sarcastic, to be
honest with you," Trump said.
Oliver lampooned Trump's grandstanding. "He's like the
guy drowning but waving off a lifeboat saying, 'Get out of here, I'm
very buoyant. I'm the most buoyant. Everybody talks about my buoyancy.
I'm a tremendous floater.'" Oliver also called the nominee an "imploding
star" with "resting rich face."
"This was the 53rd consecutive week he was going to
put his campaign back on track," Oliver said of Trump, adding that
looking for any sense out of his campaign is "like watching a circus
seal fold laundry."
