About Donald Trump (Last Week Tonight) in brief
The segment first aired on February 28, 2016, as part of the third episode of Last Week Tonight’s third season. During the 22-minute segment, comedian John Oliver discusses Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and his career in business. The satirical segment went viral on YouTube and Facebook. The segment popularized the term ‘Donald Drumpf’, a name for Trump that Oliver uses toward the end of the segment. Oliver intended the term to uncouple the grandeur of the Trump name so the latter’s supporters could acknowledge his political and entrepreneurial flaws. The comedian stopped using the name ‘Drumpf’ in subsequent segments, saying the joke ‘went out of hand’ and that he didn’t like the possible xenophobic undertones attached to the surname. In eight days, the segment accumulated 19 million views on YouTube, making it Last week Tonight’s most popular segment there. In the following weeks, it had received a combined 85 million views in YouTube and on Facebook.
