John Oliver trolled Donald Trump on Final Week Tonight after the previous POTUS mentioned he had created a brand new nickname for corn.
The HBO late-night present host devoted Sunday’s episode to corn and famous the best way politicians pander to the corn farmers.
“There’s a lengthy historical past of American politicians being bizarre round corn,” Oliver mentioned, mentioning Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, and George W. Bush.
Oliver gave Trump the glory of being the weirdest discussing corn chopping to a clip of the 2024 presidential hopeful throughout a MAGA rally in New Hampshire.
“I simply met non-liquid gold, the place it was? Iowa! It’s known as corn,” Trump mentioned within the clip. “You might have extra non-liquid gold. They mentioned, ‘What’s that?’ I mentioned, ‘Corn!’ They mentioned, ‘We love that concept.’”
Trump continued, “That’s a nickname in its personal means, however we got here up with a brand new phrase for… a brand new couple of phrases for corn!”
Oliver was seemingly confused with the phrase salad Trump delivered and mentioned, “Did you although? As a result of non-liquid gold isn’t a lot a means of describing corn as it’s a means of describing common gold.”
The host delivered one other zinger, including, “That’s a stage of non-innovation innovation that we haven’t seen since Lyft invented one thing known as Lyft Shuttle, which was—and that is true—the bus!”
Oliver would credit score Trump for claiming that the U.S. is the “largest producer, client, and exporter of non-liquid not-gold on the earth.”
On the finish of the episode, Oliver introduced that Final Week Tonight wouldn’t air an unique episode on Sunday, Could 26, however would return the next Sunday, June 2.
