John Oliver notes that the news cycle is dominated by Donald Trump’s idiocy, while truly important news stories often go unnoticed, or they are given far less attention than they merit. Oliver says ‘Trump dominates the news cycle the way a fart dominates the interior of a Volkswagen Beetle, there is no escape.’ Trump’s stories are often just as newsworthy as that fart in a Beetle. For example, this weekend at Trump’s Trump Love Rally, he shared with the crowd that Sweden was in big trouble, because they took in large numbers of refugees.“They’re having problems like they never thought possible.” This is where the faithful send up a prayer of thanks, because Donald Trump saved us from marauding refugees. Meanwhile – Sweden’s mystified query:“What the F*** is your President talking about?” will remain unanswered, we’re still dealing with the Bowling Green Massacre Survivors.
John talks about several of the astonishing stories that barely gleaned a morsel of news time this week, as we were distracted by Trump’s shambling ‘press conference.’ The event ended with a double, racist flip on the reporter who asked Trump about the Black Caucus, causing many reporters to utter the same reaction – ‘Wow.’ ‘Wow!’ and ‘Wow?’ Oliver aptly notes; they had the same reaction as a witness to someone shooting fireworks out of their ass, which is fitting, because when Trump speaks, what is it other than random sparks and flames sputtering noisily out of a damaged a**hole?”
