The unthinkable has happened: Donald Trump<\/a> has now won three states and recently even received an endorsement from Chris Christie.<\/p>\n

Realizing that now\u2019s<\/i> the time to issue America the wake-up call it needs, John Oliver dedicated Sunday night\u2019s edition of Last Week Tonight<\/i> to the topic of Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

Or, more accurately, Donald Drumpf.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Oliver began the 22-minute roast of epic proportions by listing the selling points of the billionaire mogul\u2019s campaign<\/a>. He then shredded each of them, one by one.<\/p>\n

\u201dDonald Trump\u00a0<\/a>is America’s back mole,\u201d<\/em> Oliver began. “It may have seemed harmless a year ago, but now that it has gotten frighteningly bigger, it is no longer wise to ignore it.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Supporters of Trump are then shown on camera, revealing their reasons for supporting the candidate.\u00a0\u201cHe tells it like it is,\u201d<\/em> says one fan. \u201cHe\u2019s independent,\u201d<\/em> says another.<\/p>\n

It then becomes Oliver\u2019s task to shred each fallacy, and he begins with obliterating the thought that Trump is a plain dealer.<\/p>\n

As has been reported about in the past, Trump is actually a chronic liar.<\/a> When Politifact rated the truthfulness of 77 statements made by the real-estate billionaire, it was fond that 75% of them were false to varying degrees. You can read more about that here<\/b>.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Some of the false statements made by the Republican candidate frontrunner are then delved into.<\/p>\n

According to Oliver, the problem is that it never matters even if they tycoon is caught in a lie. <\/a>\u201cYou can hold his feet to the fire, but he\u2019ll just stand there on the stumps bragging about his fireproof foot skin,\u201d<\/i> he jokes.<\/p>\n

But seriously, the inconsistencies spouted by the tycoon are no <\/i>laughing matter. Is this<\/i> really the man Americans want in the White House<\/a>?<\/p>\n

The epic rant takes a turn when Oliver reveals that Donald\u2019s family once had a different last name: Drumpf<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt turns out the name Trump was not always his family\u2019s name, one biographer found that an prescient ancestor had changed it from Drumpf,\u201d<\/i> he says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

John then takes a shot at Trump f<\/a>or chastising Jon Stewart\u2019s Jewish family for changing their name, as Trump\u2019s family did the exact same thing.<\/p>\n

Of course, this then prompts the show\u2019s host to ask Americans to #MakeDonaldDrumpfAgain<\/em><\/a>, as “Drumpf is much less magical. It’s the sound produced when a morbidly obese pigeon flies into the window of a foreclosed Old Navy.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

The Last Week Tonight<\/i> team has actually set up an online store<\/a> hawking products bearing the Trump clan\u2019s onetime family name, Drumpf. The idea, obviously, is to take Trump down a notch by attacking the real-estate billionaire where it really hurts: his brand.<\/p>\n

“The very name Trump is the cornerstone of his brand<\/a>,”<\/em>\u00a0Oliver quips. “If only there were a way to uncouple that magical word from the man he really is.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In summary, Trump is a liar and Oliver is great at calling out inconsistencies in a comedic fashion. The combination is not only entertaining, it’s informative.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Hopefully, American voters will take something useful from the rant as they prepare the upcoming \u00a0election(s).<\/p>\n
