Donald Trump really just Drumpf, says HBO’s John Oliver
Last Week Tonight host John Oliver finally rounded his vast sarcastic arsenal on Republican presidential nominee frontrunner Donald Trump on Sunday.
Conceding that he had “mostly ignored” Trump in the election campaign so far, Oliver proceeded to skewer the U.S. presidential hopeful.
“At this point, Donald Trump is America’s back mole,” Oliver began.
“It may have seemed harmless a year ago but now that it’s gotten frighteningly bigger, it’s no longer wise to ignore it.”
Tackling the problem that the Trump brand name sounds rich and successful, Oliver referenced Gwenda Blair’s book The Trumps, which mentions that his ancestors’ surname was actually “Drumpf,” a much more mundane surname.
Oliver said the name “Drumpf” better reflects who he actually is — “A litigious serial liar with a string of broken business ventures.”
Within hours, the hashtag #MakeDonaldDrumpfAgain was trending across the globe.
HBO, who broadcast Last Week Tonight, began selling Make Donald Drumpf Again caps on their website, in the same colour and style of Trump’s hats bearing his campaign slogan “Make America Great Again.”
Oliver’s team created a website, Make Donald Drumpf!, where you can download a Chrome extension to change the name Trump to Drumpf in your web browser.
