F*ck you, Geraldo: John Oliver torches Fox and Friends crew for their MOAB war-gasm

On this week’s “Last Week Tonight,” HBO’s John Oliver ripped into President Donald Trump’s bizarre flip-flops this week on foreign policy, but he reserved special scorn for the crew at “Fox and Friends” and their pie-eyed worship of Trump’s reckless, potentially nuclear war-provoking actions.

Oliver poked fun at the fact that Trump remembered to slip “a commercial for Mar-a-Lago’s chocolate cake” into his recollection of the night he fired Tomahawk missiles into Syria, but couldn’t remember whether it was Iraq or Syria he was raiding.

The past week has been a whip-saw for Trump supporters, the host said, who saw Trump going back on his international isolationist promises of the campaign and showed signs of softening toward China.

For those voters, Oliver said, “It’s like getting tickets for the ‘Vagina Monologues,’ but on the night you went it starred Brian Dennehy.”

He could easily fill another half hour every night. And while he's one of the funniest ever, the news has been so ridiculous that his jokes write themselves...

Don't forget, the missiles were unmanned, according to CNBC's Trump University-level educated commentator. Not a single American soldier was lost by joy-riding on missiles traveling to their target.

Geraldo looks more like Groucho Marx. Is this a subliminal message that Pox News is not to be taken seriously?

That clip with the wannabe patriotic music was disgusting. I hate how they romanticize war. Geraldo is absolutely batshit and clueless. And when Trump said the wrong country and was so indifferent about it, I just wanted to smack him.
