    Lucky we Germans were there fighting in Normandy, otherwise we would have lost Trump as an ally as well...
  • People are dying and he’s playing it off like kids fighting on the playground. Trump has a disgusting lack of empathy for human life.
  • @rotecly
    German show moderator on Trumps speach about the Kurds: "We didn't exactly help them in Normandy either"
  • @Liptakular
    Anybody else here today, wondering how Donald Trump could ever legitimately criticize the withdrawal from Afghanistan?
  • @khalidbrown743
    Trump: "They didn't help in Normandy." Vets around his age: "He didn't help in Nam."
  • @jotabeas22
    I am surprised he calls them dogs and not woof-woofs.
  • Obama: "Last night we carried out an operation to kill Osama Bin Ladin." Trump: "So they started Blastin."
  • @Oscar-pr5su
    "Worst mistake of his presidency" laughes in 2020
  • He didn't want to stay in Syria because he doesn't like sand? Did...did we elect Anakin Skywalker?

    “Stop congratulating Obama for killing Bin Laden. The Navy Seals killed Bin Laden.” -Donald trump Oct 22, 2012 There really is an old tweet for every single occasion! 😂
  • “Imagine what he might do in a crisis not of his own creating” is incredible foreshadowing

    "My chicken is damp, my biscuit is cold, my day is ruined" Made my day, thank you John Oliver
  • @under_score3829
    "Mr. President, why did you pull out of Syria?" Trump: "I don't like sand. It's course and rough and irritating..........and it gets everywhere."

    This one of the few times John Oliver looks like he’s actually angry, not comedy angry, but actually angry
  • I know it may not have been so funny then, but “Ladies and gentlemen, tonight we have the ISIS prisoners!” fucking destroyed me.
  • I had a final project due in my “Minority Politics in The Middle East” Class to write about anything I wanted. I fucking love these videos and I immediately thought back to this one. I wrote a 15 page paper inspired from this video and I even cited it in it. I got a fucking 100% on the Final Grade. Thank you so much John, your writers, and researchers you guys are fucking awesome.

    Listening to his briefing was like hearing an 8 year-old describe an action movie. "Yeah so they blasted their way into the house!"

    The art of the deal: T: "Give me Greenland" Kurds: "????" T:"Your problem. We're leaving"
  • @rigjuice5022
    Trump: "it's sand, it's death" Anakin: "Could this guy be one of my people?"
  • "Imagine what he would do in a crisis not of his own making" -John Oliver 2019 We call this foreshadowing
