John Oliver ridicules Trump’s Attorney General Matt Whitaker’s butt jeans and bicep tattoo.

In a brief “Last Week Tonight” segment about new acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker, host John Oliver could not figure out what his tattoo meant.

Oliver walked through a series of photos Whitaker has yet to remove from his social media of him lifting weights, and one shows that in the inside of his left bicep, it reads, “Fall down 7 times get up 8.”

“Look, I hate to criticize a Japanese proverb, but how can you get up eight times when you’ve only fallen down seven times?” the host asked. “If you fall down seven times you need to get up seven times.”

Oliver then walked through the ways in which a former corporation in which Whitaker served as a paid advisor bilked millions from people who said that they had inventions.

One such invention was the Supreme Diva Jeans, which accentuates the “lovely lady lumps,” according to ads. The corporation, World Patent Marketing, promised they’d be doing “prototypes, some samples and a press release,” a lawsuit said. Oliver was disappointed because he purchased the jeans and showed the audience just how well they work to enhance his posterior region and make him more appealing to men.

John Oliver Slams Trump: ‘There is Zero Actual Emergency at the Border’

John Oliver slammed President Trump’s national emergency declaration that Trump made to secure funding in order to build a wall along America’s southern border during Last Week Tonighton Sunday.

“According to Trump, the border suddenly constitutes a national emergency. Or, as he might spell it in a tweet, ‘the Berder Cornstidutes a Nertional Ederdency!!’” Oliver said, mocking Trump’s misspellings in tweets.

“And to be clear, there is zero actual emergency at the border right now,” the host continued. “Illegal crossings have been declining 20 years and, as we’ve talked about before on this show, a wall would be expensive and completely ineffective.”

On Friday, Trump signed a national emergency declaration to divert $8 billion in funds from the military to build the wall, announcing the news during a press conference in the Rose Garden at the White House. “I’m going to be signing a national emergency and it’s been signed many times before,” Trump said. “It’s rarely been a problem. They sign it. Nobody cares.”

“Declaring a national emergency is a big step,” Oliver said on Sunday. “Emergency declarations are meant to temporarily enhance the president’s power during a legitimate crisis. So, Trump needed to sell this as a real emergency.”

However, the host questioned the urgency of the matter, noting that even Trump’s reported behavior following him declaring the national emergency implied that the action was unnecessary.

“He responded to this newly declared emergency by just hours later flying off to Florida for the weekend, where he’s apparently been photographed waiting at an omelet bar,” Oliver quipped. “You know, the kind of thing you do when America is in crisis.”
