  "account": "On August 12, comedian John Oliver joined late night hosts in mocking former President Donald Trump for allegedly hiding in an airport catering cart to switch planes during a NATO Summit in Turkey. According to The Washington Post, Trump's decision to change planes was driven by security concerns, and he accomplished this by exiting through a side door and boarding a catering cart to reach a smaller aircraft. Oliver expressed his concern that Trump would no longer have the option to use this method for future escapes, as it would draw attention and raise suspicions. Other late-night TV hosts, such as Jimmy Fallon and Anthony Anderson, also made light of the situation, with Anderson joking about the difficulty of sneaking out of Turkey. Oliver's thoughts on the matter can be found in the latest episode of \"Last Week Tonight,\" currently available on HBO Max.",
