‘He Couldn’t Seem to Believe It Either’: John Oliver Hilariously Reacts to Donald Trump’s Election Win; Deets Inside

As a dedicated follower of John Oliver‘s work, I must say that this week’s episode of Last Week Tonight was a masterclass in political satire and emotional honesty. Having witnessed his journey from a British comedian to a sharp-tongued critic of American politics, I can confidently say that he has grown into the role with an uncanny ability to dissect complex issues with humor and insight.


In this week’s installment of Last Week Tonight, John Oliver examined the chaos surrounding the U.S. Presidential Election results. Known for his criticism of Donald Trump, Oliver previously produced an episode aimed at helping undecided voters understand why Kamala Harris might be a superior choice. However, when Trump was officially declared the 47th President, viewers were eager to see how the comedian would react to the news. In the latest episode on Sunday, Oliver discussed the reasons for Harris’ defeat, using his characteristic blend of dark humor.

47-year-old individual shared, “Tuesday saw Trump securing another term. Frankly, this wasn’t the outcome I was secretly wishing for. Interestingly enough, it seemed Trump himself was equally surprised.” He further added that Trump appeared uncertain about his victory. Remarking on the President-elect’s victory speech, the host humorously observed that it shared the same spirit as a “best man who hadn’t realized he had to deliver a toast.

John expressed his frustration by saying it was upsetting to observe the world carrying on as usual in light of this significant news. In response to a Hello Kitty post asking what people were looking forward to this month, the Emmy winner replied with a less-than-pleased “Hey, Hello Kitty, not at the moment.” He jokingly added that he wished he could share what he’s excited about, but it seems ‘drinking myself into oblivion and some mourning mac and cheese’ isn’t an option on their calendar puzzle.

In another approach, John Oliver communicated to his audience the importance of self-care, saying “feel free to pause if you’re feeling too angry, upset, or anxious watching further.” He expressed his frustration towards President Joe Biden for not stepping down earlier, stating that the inaction of Biden and a former Apprentice host, both older than credit cards, has led us to our current predicament. Despite the heavy political discourse throughout the half-hour show, it ended as usual with laughter, as Oliver battled against a turkey filter on his head.
