John Oliver Responds to Trump’s Win: “It’s Actually F *** ing Crazy”

John Oliver took a close take a look at the outcomes of the 2024 governmental election on Sunday’s Recently Tonight, diving right in to analyze how Donald Trump beat Kamala Harris.

Undoubtedly, that was not a result Oliver had actually expected, having actually invested completion of recently’s program arguing for unsure audiences to choose Vice President Harris, the Democratic candidate.

“[O] n Tuesday, Trump won re-election,” he stated at the start of Sunday’s program, to boos from the audience, “which is, to put it slightly, not what I was personally hoping would take place. And truthfully, in Trump’s triumph speech, he could not appear to think it either.”.

The HBO host then revealed a clip of Trump’s speech, in which the previous president and existing president-elect stated: “We conquered barriers that no one believed possible, and it is now clear that we have actually accomplished the most amazing political thing,” he stated, including incredulously: “Look what occurred. Is this insane?”

Said Oliver: “Yeah, it is insane. It’s truly fucking insane. He’s generally one sentence far from stating, ‘I indicate, you guys saw what I did, right? And you still elected this. That does not make any sense.'”.

Oliver continued: “I understand being a shambling spoken mess becomes part of Trump’s brand name, however it is still amazing to see an inbound president ad-lib a triumph speech with the exact same energy as the very best male who didn’t recognize he needed to provide a toast: ‘What a gorgeous day. What, what a gorgeous appeal today. My sibling and his sweetheart– better half, sorry– today they … they did the important things you all saw it. I believed my part was made with the bachelor celebration, however here we go. Marital relationship is insane, best? It’s insane.'”

Oliver went on to keep in mind how it’s been a “rough week” in which “the smallest minutes today, where the world was going on like absolutely nothing had actually taken place might be unexpectedly infuriating.” He mentioned examples such as text from a relative extending an invite to Thanksgiving, The New York City Times sending out an alert about a dish for roast chicken, and the Hey there Cat brand name publishing on X a word search puzzle with the caption, “Monitoring in … What are you anticipating this month?”

” Hey, Hey There Cat– not fucking now,” Oliver stated. “I would enjoy to inform you what I’m anticipating, however I can not appear to discover ‘drinking my lights out and [having] some sorrow mac and cheese’ on your foolish puzzle. Get the fuck out of here.”.

He kept in mind that X users likewise got mad at a video teaser for Tyla’s brand-new tune in which a derriere using jean shorts was being rubbed. The teaser was published the day after the election and elicited reactions like “not now lady. not now” and “Tyla checking out the space” with a gif of Lea Michelle. Nevertheless, lots of others mentioned that the vocalist is South African, with one keeping in mind: “She is actually South African. … No one’s pleased that Trump won including me, however she’s actually not an American. What do y’ all desire from her?”

” Which is reasonable,” Oliver kept in mind. “Individuals in other nations are permitted to rub their jean shorts. They didn’t put us in this scenario. We did.”

He went on: “And, and truthfully, if you are enjoying this today and believing, you understand what, I’m not really prepared for this either, I absolutely get it. It is easy to understand not to desire yet another guy in a match doom squawking at you. So if you are too upset, depressed or concerned to view the rest of this program, no issue. I have actually remained in each of those locations today, and they are all a proper response due to the fact that appearance, we did a program like this after the election in 2016 when nobody anticipated Trump to win. This time, however, his winning seemed like a genuine possibility all year long, great deals of individuals set in motion to stop it, however it occurred anyhow, which feels in some way even worse.”

Later on, Oliver provided some suggestions to his audiences who are having a hard time to come to terms with the outcomes of the election.

“[O] n Jan. 20, Trump is getting sworn back into workplace which is really dismal. So what do the rest people do next? Well, for the next couple of days, I ‘d state whatever you desire,” he stated. “I am not gon na evaluate you for how you survive the next week for 2 factors. One, I’m not gon na see it. I remain in the television. This is far from where you really are.

” And 2, due to the fact that there is no best response today; great deals of us are grieving and sorrow has phases. We take various quantities of time for various individuals. The phase I’m presently secured is anger. I am mad for trans individuals who have actually been threatened. I’m disgusted at the possibility of mass deportation. I rage at Biden for not leaving previously, which the egos and inactiveness of 2 guys [Trump and Biden] older than charge card themselves have actually led us to this point. I seethe that ladies need to hear ‘your body, my option’ from conservative dipshits. I seethe that Elon Musk is obviously attending conferences with the president of Ukraine. I’m mad about the myriad of damage Trump will do that can not quickly be reversed like holding up efforts to combat environment modification and selecting more Supreme Court justices. And I seethe at the possibility of 4 more years of individuals stating, ‘So is your task thus a lot easier with Trump as president?’ No, it is not! No, it fucking isn’t! Fuck you a lot!”
