On this weeks Last Week Tonight, HBOs John Oliver ripped into President Donald Trumps bizarre flip-flops this week on foreign policy, but he reserved special scorn for the crew at Fox and Friends and their pie-eyed worship of Trumps reckless, potentially nuclear war-provoking actions.
Oliver poked fun at the fact that Trump remembered to slip a commercial for Mar-a-Lagos chocolate cake into his recollection of the night he fired Tomahawk missiles into Syria, but couldnt remember whether it was Iraq or Syria he was raiding.
The past week has been a whip-saw for Trump supporters, the host said, who saw Trump going back on his international isolationist promises of the campaign and showed signs of softening toward China.
For those voters, Oliver said, Its like getting tickets for the Vagina Monologues, but on the night you went it starred Brian Dennehy.

(3,110 posts)That clip with the wannabe patriotic music was disgusting. I hate how they romanticize war. Geraldo is absolutely batshit and clueless. And when Trump said the wrong country and was so indifferent about it, I just wanted to smack him.
