In the return episode of Last Week Tonight, John Oliver expresses his dissatisfaction with recent political developments, particularly Trump's administration termed 'Trump 2.0'. He harshly criticizes the Democratic Party for inaction and invokes a strong sentiment among viewers who feel neglected by political leaders. Additionally, Oliver highlights Elon Musk's involvement in controversial political decisions, like the dismantling of USAID, and its negative impact on South Africa, citing a specific healthcare clinic that suffers from the funding cuts. The episode conveys a sense of urgency and frustration over current events.
Emmy-winning Last Week Tonight is back and it is not happy. John Oliver devoted the entire episode to recapping the month we've had of Trump 2.0 (has it really only been about a month? Because we've all gone from Kate Winslet to Gloria Stuart in that time). He also spent some time castigating the democrats for doing fuck all. 'Now is absolutely not the time to be looking away and saying 'this is what you fuckers voted for' and turning your backs,' he said.
Oliver specifically called out the dismantling of USAID, and how it has affected Musk's native South Africa. Speaking of a clinic on Johannesburg that USAID no longer funds, Oliver suggested they hang up a sign that reads 'We can't help you thanks to one of the worst white guys South Africa has ever produced (which is really saying something). It really, really is.
