VIDEO: John Oliver went to town on Donald Trump on Last Week Tonight and it was brilliant

Conor Heneghan

Zing!

Donald Trump is most certainly not everyone’s cup of tea, but there are quite a lot of people in the US supporting his bid for probably the most powerful job in the world right now.

Trump so regularly makes a fool out of himself that he doesn’t need anyone to do it for him, but John Oliver obliged anyway with a lengthy and very funny spot on Last Week Tonight at the weekend.

Normally, Oliver keeps his often hilarious commentary on current affairs to less than five minutes, but on this occasion, he spends 20 minutes analysing Trump’s campaign, points out his many and various foibles and exposes the truths behind some of the the myths he’s been spinning of late.

Put the kettle on and watch this in full when you get a bit of time to spare; it’s well worth it.
