HBO’s “Last Week Tonight” dove straight into the financial chaos attributable to Donald Trump’s disastrous tariffs, with host John Oliver highlighting how the president tanked the financial system and adopted that up with smug, threatening, and finally determined makes an attempt to calm panicked People. These makes an attempt included Trump and his minions’ mysterious claims that scores of unnamed international locations are begging him to barter new commerce offers.
“I’m sure some have been pretty nice to him,” Oliver mentioned. “The same way you try to be nice if you suddenly found yourself in the same room as a monkey with a gun.”
Oliver ridiculed the haphazard exemptions Trump was pressured to make—together with for meals merchandise the U.S. can not produce in ample portions like espresso, oats, and spices.
“Sometimes it feels like the best way to ensure Trump does something is to tell him not to do it,” Oliver mentioned. “He’s like a toddler, both because his brain is unable to grasp negations, and also because he has a short torso, huge head, always looks like he is about to fall over, and won’t let anyone brush his hair.”
Oliver proceeded to interrupt down the Trump tariff plan’s elementary incoherence because it drives up costs for People and obliterates our buying and selling companions’ belief. Profitable!
