Before John Oliver leaves Last Week Tonight for a monthlong hiatus, he couldn’t help but return to his favorite orange-hued punching bag, Donald Trump. Oliver, like Michael Moore, posits that Trump can’t stand to be a loser, but he also would hate to actually win the election, as being president would involve flying around in a plane without his name on it. The simple solution would be to quit the race, and Oliver argues he could use the exact same speech as one character uses in the vaunted work of literature The Kid Who Ran for President.
