John Oliver Enjoys Trump’s Nickname for James Talarico: ‘Even a Rotting Fruit’s Still Got Some Juice’
"I mean, what can you really say there?" the HBO host says The post John Oliver Enjoys Trump’s Nickname for James Talarico: ‘Even a Rotting Fruit’s Still Got Some Juice’ appeared first on TheWrap .
On Sunday night, HBO host John Oliver had to commend President Trump for his nickname for James Talarico, instead of ridiculing it. Talarico, a Democrat running for the Texas Senate, was recently polling above incumbent Ken Paxton. The race seemed to be “surprisingly in play” for Democrats. However, President Trump's opinion of Paxton was less favorable, as seen in his endorsements and mocking comments.
Oliver contrasted Talarico's positive reception with Trump's frequent ridicule of Paxton, noting that it was difficult to discern his endorsement due to Trump's habit of constantly mocking him. Oliver then displayed a supercut of Trump's various attempts to insult Paxton, ranging from his appearance and speaking ability to his overall demeanor.
In response to Trump's relentless mockery, Oliver couldn't help but chuckle and quip, "Yeah! You definitely might as well, given it seems you've already said it 400 different times!" "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver" is currently streaming on HBO Max.
