If President Donald Trump’s White Home toilet makeover irks you, urine for a deal with.
On Saturday’s episode of “Last Week Tonight,” host John Oliver determined to poo-poo Trump’s choice to renovate the lavatory linked to the Lincoln Bed room.
Oliver started by agreeing with a lot of Trump’s critics who felt the president’s swanky revamp was fairly “tone deaf.”
“That is pretty tone-deaf. And you know what? I will say to Trump what I said while watching David Harbour’s ‘Architectural Digest’ video: ‘You are vastly overestimating how much I care about where you take a shit.’”
He then bought to the crux of most individuals’s frustrations with it.
“It is odd to be posting bathroom remodel photos when so many are legitimately concerned about getting the government open again,” Oliver mentioned.
If the federal government shutdown continues by Tuesday, it can change into the longest such closure in U.S. historical past — and it’s affecting People day by day.
An estimated 700,000 federal employees throughout the U.S. have been furloughed, and a few, like air site visitors controllers, are working unpaid. Recipients of Supplemental Vitamin Help Program (SNAP) misplaced their advantages on Nov. 1 — although on Monday, the Trump administration mentioned it can pay partial meals advantages this month after two federal judges ordered the U.S. Division of Agriculture to take action.

The basis explanation for the shutdown is well being care. Democrats need to lengthen subsidies for People who purchase medical insurance from Inexpensive Care Act exchanges. Republicans falsely declare that Dems need to give free well being care to undocumented immigrants.
In the meantime, Republicans have gone MIA amid the federal government shutdown, making it troublesome to barter.
After giving a White Home toilet the Mar-a-Lago remedy, Trump pulled one other gross transfer by attending a “Great Gatsy”-themed Halloween celebration at his nation membership in Palm Seashore, Florida. The official identify of the fete was “A Little Party Never Killed Nobody.”
And naturally, Oliver identified how horrible the optics of this sort of celebration seems to be as many People had been about to lose their SNAP advantages.
“A Little Party Never Killed Nobody,” Oliver mentioned, repeating the identify of the glitzy bash.
“And I guess that is true. Although it is also true that, as we are all finding out right now, a grand old party [Republican] is capable of killing a whole lot of people,” Oliver added, alluding to the potential of well being care costs hovering and folks dropping their entry to meals. “And unfortunately, they don’t seem to give a single marble and gold-incased shit about that.”
