"You are really off the rails here.

A guy who, every time he speaks about Trump,
points out exactly what's insane about this xenophobic,
misogynist, racist asshat. But because he spends 2 minutes
of a 22 minute monologue (9%) on "Drumpf", you get your panties
all in a wad about something that is essential to a well-done comedic bit -
and he did it after an amazing 90+% crescendo. He's like the Paul Gonsalves
of comedy here with overwhelming support from those who've watched this and
you're berating him for a silly shit thing like informing thru entertainment?" Wow!

Pretty much. Obviously the Drumpf thing isn't going to sway the election, it was just the hilarious cherry on top of twenty minutes of in-depth, intelligent analysis of Trump as a man and a candidate. If you're gonna criticize Oliver, then go and fact check his claims and call him out on any potential bull****.
