John Oliver Gets To The Bottom Of Why Trump’s White House Bathroom Makeover Is So Crappy

If President Donald Trump’s White House bathroom makeover irks you, urine for a treat.On Saturday’s episode of “Last Week Tonight,” host John Oliver decided to poo-poo Trump’s decision to renovate the bathroomconnected to the Lincoln Bedroom. Oliver began by agreeing with many of Trump’s critics who felt the president’s swanky revamp was pretty “tone deaf.”John Oliver on HBO’s “Last Week Tonight.”“That is pretty tone-deaf. And you know what? I will say to Trump what I said while watching David Harbour’s ‘Architectural Digest’ video: ‘You are vastly overestimating how much I care about where you take a shit.’” He then got to the crux of most people’s frustrations with it.“It is odd to be posting bathroom remodel photos when so many are legitimately concerned about getting the government open again,” Oliver said.If the government shutdown continues through Tuesday, it will become the longest such closure in US history — and it’s affecting Americans every day.An estimated 700,000 federal workers across the U.S. have been furloughed, and some, like air traffic controllers, are working unpaid. Recipients of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) lost their benefits on November 1 — though on Monday, the Trump administration said it will pay partial food benefits this monthafter two federal judges ordered the US Department of Agriculture to do so.Renovating a bathroom isn’t the only change President Donald Trump is making to the White House. Here is the rubble after the East Wing of the White House was demolished last week to make room for a new ballroom.The root cause of the shutdown is health care. Democrats want to extend subsidies for Americans who buy health insurance from Affordable Care Act exchanges. Republicans falsely claim that Democrats want to give free health careto undocumented immigrants.Meanwhile, Republicans have gone MIA amid the government shutdown, making it difficult to negotiate. After giving a White House bathroom the Mar-a-Lago treatment, Trump pulled another gross move by attending a Great Gatsby-themed Halloween party at his country club in Palm Beach, Florida. The official name of the fete was “A Little Party Never Killed Nobody.”And of course, Oliver pointed out how terrible the optics of this kind of party looks as many Americans were about to lose their SNAP benefits.“A Little Party Never Killed Nobody,” Oliver said, repeating the name of the glitzy bash. “And I guess that is true. Although it is also true that, as we are all finding out right now, a grand old party [Republican] is capable of killing a whole lot of people,” Oliver added, alluding to the potential of health care prices soaring and people losing their access to food. “And unfortunately, they don’t seem to give a single marble and gold-incased shit about that.”
