@@natalkumar6132 There are so many things wrong with what you just said, it's hilarious. More than half this country doesn't know what socialism even is. They assume it just means higher taxes and less privacy because there's more government control. That's only true to a small extent: Socialism provides cheap or free education, including at collegiate level, to everyone. It also covers the costs of universal healthcare, and would enable us to better close the gap in this country between the rich and the poor. The only people who don't like this plan are the selfish wealthy elite who don't want the government taking a little more of their "hard-earned money" to give to "idiot freeloaders." They miss the point that these benefits would also give them more though... A slightly higher tax but free healthcare and education? And the tax is still only a relatively small percentage of income. Rich people would still be making tons and they'd be better off in times of emergency. Also, we know for a fact not all rich people worked hard for their money (Trump inherited millions as an example, went bankrupt a few times but got some lucky deals, etc). And while there probably are a few freeloaders who would get lucky, that's a relatively low minority compared to all the folks who are genuinely down on their luck especially due to circumstances which they had absolutely no control over, like minorities with years of systemic racism shoved down their throats placed in poor areas where they are forced into doing things to survive that they don't want to do. Let's face it, if you're voting against socialism at this point, you're just a racist who doesn't want to give up white privilege.
2 years later the world is laughing even harder than before. Crazy how a year later I’m still getting notifications that people are commenting on this lol
In Trumps defense, the reason why he didn’t have an ambassador for those countries at the time of John’s Oliver video posted is because he didn’t know those were countries.
We knew ALL those countries did existed! It shows how FelonTrump is a moron and insults anything he doesn’t understand! Felon Trump said he could solve the Russian and Ukrainian war in 1 day! Question: will Felon Trump be taking his BFF Hannibal Lecter with him?

That precipitous drop in international approval rating for American leadership to 30% was from an already iffy 48%.
@@SaraWolffs Well America has always been unpopular among the left in Europe but in the 2000s it started becoming a joke everywhere, the phrase "you don't want things to be like in America do you?" is genuinely a powerful argument in Danish politics and has been for a while especially in relation to healthcare. The War On Terror and Bush however started completely turning the tide as European countries got dragged into wars that has been perceived as pointless, lengthy and deadly and importantly not something we really wanted. The Afghan war became extremely unpopular in Denmark probably in large part due to how Danish soldiers were often deployed to the most dangerous areas and as such had high casualty rates. Obama was starting to turn things around, Obama was largely extremely popular in Europe and he also made a pretty clever diplomatic move by appointing a gay man as the ambassador to Denmark and he and his husband became extremely popular here. But Obama was only starting to repair relations, a lot of people still had grievances and US internal policy was still looked down upon, and he had to tread carefully because all of the allies were very tired, part of what was helping was that he avoided starting anymore ground wars. The intervention in Libya for example was very popular and so were the actions against ISIS and the peaceful operations in Syria. However in order to truly get the US back in favor another president would have had to carry this forward and probably institute some actual welfare programs internally so the US would stop looking backwards. Instead Trump happened and he destroyed Obama's legacy and turned the attitude completely against the US. In Denmark there was a mostly joke about how he might nuke Denmark, obviously it wasn't a real concern but it did make the rounds. In Europe in general Trump's demands that European countries increase military spending have been very unpopular since people would prefer to spend that money on welfare programs, this combined with Trump's flakiness in his commitment to article 5 especially in a war against Russia and his incredibly aggressive foreign policy towards Iran where war has seemed likely has made many people in Europe turn against NATO. France and Germany want to great an EU army and there's broad support for it. Several candidates in the last EU and Parliamentary elections here in Denmark supported leaving NATO and either creating an EU alliance or just leaving it. It should also be mentioned that the EU and every European country is still part of the Iran deal and the EU has actually done a lot to try to keep it afloat. Trump backing out of it was not received well in the rest of the world and Europe isn't following along with the US diplomatically like usual. Leaving the Paris agreement was of course also unpopular as the EU is broadly committed to fighting climate change and is very active on it. All in all the US is unpopular in Europe and people want to distance themselves from it more and more.
@@hedgehog3180 So we gettin Greenland or not? Asking for my idiotic gorilla in chief edit: sorry about that that was rather rude but I can see your point I'm definitely more interventionist than most leftists but when we are asking countries to assist us in an invasion and then have them go the dangerous areas because we don't want to is utterly reprehensible. On a different note are you sure the EU is in a strong enough position on the world stage to go it alone? Don't get me wrong I think a common EU army is a wonderful idea that would bring in the best parts of each member state's to muster for common defense and it should definitely be something to consider but from across the Atlantic I look at the EU tearing itself apart on the national level- Brexit is the most obvious but there's also the AfD gaining in Germany and the Law and Justice party in Poland and the migrant crisis putting strain on the social safety net and reigniting the sort of open racial animus I had hoped died with the Reich. All of this and increasingly expansionist Russia adds up to me being skeptical of Europe's ability to stand up for itself without having to get into bed with Russia or China- both of whom I think we can agree are objectively worse partners than the US even with Trump at the helm but again that's just my American perspective from what few headlines I can find in my media about the subject

And lastly Im an american living abroad most my life, every time i visit the places we used to admire have turned to cesspools of hate a vitriol (but interestingly enough these places are still immune to the actual problems they just react like it affects them) And yes despite living abroad it would be nice to see american become a nation that's once again respected (but that wont happen with Trump at the helm as he only acts on self interest first and the people who support him are delusional to think this will help them long term) PS: ponder this, what will be your solution when the democratic population base slowly spreads more evenly across the united states (meaning the gerrymandering system becomes void by default), how would you preserve your ideals when they are voted out by the majority and your left alone wondering why everyone smokes pot and are slobs while you waste away trying to be funny ^_^

Also, we know for a fact not all rich people worked hard for their money (Trump inherited millions as an example, went bankrupt a few times but got some lucky deals, etc). And while there probably are a few freeloaders who would get lucky, that's a relatively low minority compared to all the folks who are genuinely down on their luck especially due to circumstances which they had absolutely no control over, like minorities with years of systemic racism shoved down their throats placed in poor areas where they are forced into doing things to survive that they don't want to do. Let's face it, if you're voting against socialism at this point, you're just a racist who doesn't want to give up white privilege.
You feel hopeless because you are a weak pathetic loser..trump lives in your mind rent free. Get some self esteem.

Most people are burried 3 meters deep. (Unless you're a hidden murdervictim, means it double-sucks for you)
3 meters deep (especially in a coffin) it'll be your stomachfluids that dissolve your body and eventually start the rottingprocess.
There'll be no worms, unless there's someone being burried in shallow-graves, for what reason whatsoever, or someone that's laying around for a while after dying, in a fly-invested area. And then still..it'll take a couple of days before there are maggots.

@@DEATHofSEASONS789 Countries being attacked/"protected" (in the presence of American army) may not have respected American presidents.But unquestionably , even in neutral/allied nations this president has become a laughing stock.
@@brer4bear The laughing stock bit is sort of new, but America had already been losing goodwill globally. I'm not sure whether it started before I became politically conscious, or whether it started with the war on terror, but by the time Trump took office, America was already widely seen as a threat to global stability. That precipitous drop in international approval rating for American leadership to 30% was from an already iffy 48%.
@@SaraWolffs Well America has always been unpopular among the left in Europe but in the 2000s it started becoming a joke everywhere, the phrase "you don't want things to be like in America do you?" is genuinely a powerful argument in Danish politics and has been for a while especially in relation to healthcare. The War On Terror and Bush however started completely turning the tide as European countries got dragged into wars that has been perceived as pointless, lengthy and deadly and importantly not something we really wanted. The Afghan war became extremely unpopular in Denmark probably in large part due to how Danish soldiers were often deployed to the most dangerous areas and as such had high casualty rates. Obama was starting to turn things around, Obama was largely extremely popular in Europe and he also made a pretty clever diplomatic move by appointing a gay man as the ambassador to Denmark and he and his husband became extremely popular here. But Obama was only starting to repair relations, a lot of people still had grievances and US internal policy was still looked down upon, and he had to tread carefully because all of the allies were very tired, part of what was helping was that he avoided starting anymore ground wars. The intervention in Libya for example was very popular and so were the actions against ISIS and the peaceful operations in Syria.
However in order to truly get the US back in favor another president would have had to carry this forward and probably institute some actual welfare programs internally so the US would stop looking backwards. Instead Trump happened and he destroyed Obama's legacy and turned the attitude completely against the US. In Denmark there was a mostly joke about how he might nuke Denmark, obviously it wasn't a real concern but it did make the rounds. In Europe in general Trump's demands that European countries increase military spending have been very unpopular since people would prefer to spend that money on welfare programs, this combined with Trump's flakiness in his commitment to article 5 especially in a war against Russia and his incredibly aggressive foreign policy towards Iran where war has seemed likely has made many people in Europe turn against NATO. France and Germany want to great an EU army and there's broad support for it. Several candidates in the last EU and Parliamentary elections here in Denmark supported leaving NATO and either creating an EU alliance or just leaving it. It should also be mentioned that the EU and every European country is still part of the Iran deal and the EU has actually done a lot to try to keep it afloat. Trump backing out of it was not received well in the rest of the world and Europe isn't following along with the US diplomatically like usual. Leaving the Paris agreement was of course also unpopular as the EU is broadly committed to fighting climate change and is very active on it. All in all the US is unpopular in Europe and people want to distance themselves from it more and more.

So we gettin Greenland or not? Asking for my idiotic gorilla in chief
edit: sorry about that that was rather rude but I can see your point I'm definitely more interventionist than most leftists but when we are asking countries to assist us in an invasion and then have them go the dangerous areas because we don't want to is utterly reprehensible. On a different note are you sure the EU is in a strong enough position on the world stage to go it alone? Don't get me wrong I think a common EU army is a wonderful idea that would bring in the best parts of each member state's to muster for common defense and it should definitely be something to consider but from across the Atlantic I look at the EU tearing itself apart on the national level- Brexit is the most obvious but there's also the AfD gaining in Germany and the Law and Justice party in Poland and the migrant crisis putting strain on the social safety net and reigniting the sort of open racial animus I had hoped died with the Reich. All of this and increasingly expansionist Russia adds up to me being skeptical of Europe's ability to stand up for itself without having to get into bed with Russia or China- both of whom I think we can agree are objectively worse partners than the US even with Trump at the helm but again that's just my American perspective from what few headlines I can find in my media about the subject

And lastly Im an american living abroad most my life, every time i visit the places we used to admire have turned to cesspools of hate a vitriol (but interestingly enough these places are still immune to the actual problems they just react like it affects them)
And yes despite living abroad it would be nice to see american become a nation that's once again respected (but that wont happen with Trump at the helm as he only acts on self interest first and the people who support him are delusional to think this will help them long term)
PS: ponder this, what will be your solution when the democratic population base slowly spreads more evenly across the united states (meaning the gerrymandering system becomes void by default), how would you preserve your ideals when they are voted out by the majority and your left alone wondering why everyone smokes pot and are slobs while you waste away trying to be funny ^_^
The world actually respected you when you choose Obama...the world laughs and some feels sorry for you for having a big baby as a president now... he suffers from Dementia how sad for you for the world
I have learned so much just by listening to this man. Yes, he does make jokes, but he also teaches us about how America works. I honestly wish that there were more teachers in schools like this man. Because all the children would love coming to class everyday.
He’s BAAAAaaaaAACKK!
That’s what the aliens said from independence day when that alcoholic fuck blew up their mothership... I’m sorry
I thought he died?
Back to fake trending for the moronic failing left while bleeding out his asshole spewing propaganda and still crying over losing the election. LMAO #Trump2020 #MAGA
This video has to be one of the best of John Oliver's shows, ever.
Did anyone else think the Australian prime minister was really funny?
Grace O'Hanrahan It was so great, yet so sad at the same time!
Grace O'Hanrahan Yup mate, he was HILARIOUS!
His impersonation was just SPOT-ON.
He was the best, believe me!
It was superb. He didn't overdo it like most actors, which ruins it bc trump is already so comical and surreal.
Thank you for all your work. Every single one of you behind all this weird stuff and facts that you throw at us now and then. Thank you for challenging our beliefs respectively.
That skit by the Australian PM makes me proud to be an Australian!
Cameron Long
As an American I can say it was pretty funny sad but funny
It made me so happy
Legit same tho
Poor Malcolm... stupid Liberal party.
Trudeau is a nice guy, but he does have some rather glaring flaws. It reminds me that politics is the game where you are always trying to figure out who the LESSER evil is, and voting for it.
It’s one of the only good things Trumbull’s ever done. But that was gold.
Finally you're back! Don't ever leave us again!
So about that ambassador for the Netherlands, from what I heard, he was apparently shown that clip of where he says those things soon after he claimed he hadn't and that it was fake news... and when then asked about why he had called it that, he began to claim that he had never referred to it as fake news.
LOL this sums up Trump's administration
Yep. That happened.
Did they play that clip too?
Inside the ambassador was like "I can say fake news more number of times than you can show me clips. FTW"
No freaking way! that is some next level
"Trump does not represent America." No, just a quarter of its citizens.
More like 20% to 25% of the population. 74m/320m = 23% ish. Still an alarmingly high percentage of idiots, but not 43%.
@@bura19 Wow I forgot about this comment. Thanks.
Eh, don’t feel too worried. Most of them are either skeptical of the virus and dying rapidly amongst other morons or really old racist people that will also be wiped soon.

I'm late to the party but, as a belgian, I was too busy paying my monthly 7$ for my full cover healthcare plan :D
Come on, don't salt their wounds😂
My bills are bigger cuz we have bigly thing here in America. I gotta pay a 1800 dollar bill for a four minute ambulance ride because I couldn't move from a bad back injury. Fun, right?
Antoine Hennart Twist that knife a little why don’t you
Antoine Hennart 🔥 lol okay that was painful. And funny. 😊
Can I borrow your healthcare plan?
John Oliver: All Star is a bad song
*Shrek would like to know your location*
nah, the chorus riff is brilliant. driving, yet subtle.
He said that? When?
Anna Klein at 18:30 roughly
This is my swamp
not bad...not bad at all. in 19+ minutes John Oliver did more for the picture people all over the world have of America than Trump did in all his life. and dont worry, american friends - we know that Trump does in no way represent all of you. we still respect your country for its values. so lets stand tall together through this dark time. best wishes and greetings from the "bad. very bad." Germany =)
As an American I humbly apologize how our President - and frankly, quite a bit of our country - treats other countries, like you. Hopefully the next President will be a tad nicer. It's probably not gonna happen any time soon but a man can hope ;-;
Vielen Dank, Deutschland! Wir sind nicht alle so schelcht im USA, aber ich habe Angst an meinen Land, und besonders in die ganzen Welt, nicht? Wir werden Angela Merkel vermissen.
John Oliver Ida Kid toucher!
careonovam totally agree with you there ;) Let's pass the bad weather... a french proverb says : "après la pluie, vient le beau temps" (after the rain, come the good weather) ... but I am afraid the rain is more like a storm, let's hope it won't be a hurricane lvl 6 ;)
I'm ashamed to be American, lol. It doesn't feel like the rest of the world understands that, but I'm glad you do.
I still die at "Are any of these funny? I DONT KNOW"
It’s funny how this showed up on autoplay In August 2020 and It’s still completely relevant. I had to check the date to see it’s over 2 years old.
Don't worry Americans, we're laughing at him, not at you. Love from 🇮🇳
Somehow he got there lol (just saying) 😂🍌
Thank you very much for the love! Right back at you!
@@victorrain 🥰🥰
Thank you! (American citizen)
Trump hates the world Americans embrace the world.
John Oliver coming back is the best birthday present I've ever gotten
You have very low standards.
Happy. Birthday!
God damn. Your life must suck ass. Read a book or join a gym.
Krickety Krill happy birthday
Is it really that hard to say happy birthday? BTW Happy birthday Krickety, I hope you have a good one
What Donald Trump is saying is DONALD TRUMP FIRST! DONALD TRUMP FIRST. THE WHOLE IS LAUGHING AT US BECAUSE OF DONALD TRUMP 🤣
Viewer from Belgium here; I agree with your opening statement.
Ever seen the movie "In Bruges"?

Pieter Mallants ever pooped in a sock?
