John Oliver puts scandals in visual perspective, Clinton’s raisin cookie to Trump’s raisin monsoon

Clinton, Trump and Scandals - John Oliver

There has been much talk of scandals for both Clinton and Trump, but John Oliver wants everyone to know that it would be extremely dangerous to equate the scandals attributed to each of the two candidates.  John can legitimately say so, after giving each candidate’s scandals a through investigation. If you do not have time to watch the entire video, be sure to fast forward to the last minute. 

It’s almost comic to view Trump’s answer to the interview question about setting up a blind trust. Many of Trump’s supporters believe Trump’s strong suit is his financial acumen. Apparently none of the Trump crew have ever been taken in by a Nigerian prince or a conscience-free blowhard – until now…But they do have blind trust.   Trump  is a bit more fuzzy on the definition of ‘charitable foundation.’ It turns out we should all have one. T

After tallying the potential stumbling blocks of both candidates, John compares the ethical  questions that dog every politician to raisins in a cookie…Presuming you hate raisins. You may dislike the cookie Hillary represents, but there are only ten raisins in it. You may not like them, but you can eat the cookie without retching. You may even enjoy it. On the other hand, Trump doesn’t even have a cookie. The man is all raisins(ethical disasters) , and if he slithers into the Oval Office, we will be up to our our eyelids in a raisin monsoon!
