John Oliver focused on the past seven days in Trumps administration on Sunday night, referring to them as absolutely insane.
The Last Week Tonight host has repeatedly referred to the situation as Stupid Watergate, a scandal with all the potential ramifications of Watergate but where everyone involved is stupid and bad at everything.
He spoke about reports that the president allegedly shared classified intelligence with Russian officials in the White House. That is the kind of information you shouldnt even share with your closest friends, which of course in Trumps case would be the caddy he calls Steve even though his name is Doug, a bucket of KFC chicken, and the ghost of Roger Ailes, he said.
More has also emerged surrounding former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who apparently told Trump he was already under investigation when he was hired. Literally every decision in the Trump administration is the worst possible one, Oliver said.

It's like the stupid is contagious. Or, people are chosen to work for him because they are susceptible to stupid.
