John Oliver Mocks Trump for Posing as His Own Publicist: ‘Please Come On By, John Miller’ The ‘Last Week Tonight’ host extended an open invite to Trump’s ‘publicist’/alter ego John Miller to drop by the show.
This week was a bizarre one when it comes to former Celebrity Apprentice host Donald J. Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president.
First, Trump met with House Speaker Paul Ryan on Thursday to mend fences with the leader of the Republican establishment. Ryan later said he was “encouraged” by their meeting, and even went as far as calling The Donald “a very warm and genuine person.”
John Oliver remains unconvinced.
The host of HBO’s Last Week Tonight, who’d previously unloaded on “Drumpf” for being a “racist,” first referred to Trump as “Rome burning in man form” before addressing Ryan’s specious claims.
“OK, stop, because I understand the ‘genuine’ part in the sense that Miller Genuine Draft is genuine—you know, it is the shitty thing that it is—but the only way that Trump could be described as ‘warm’ is if you’re feeling leftover tanning bed heat radiating from his skin,” joked Oliver.
He then proceeded to compare the reluctant truce between Trump and the Republican establishment to “the teenage Christian couple who have made an abstinence pledge: they are going to have sex, it is just a matter of time, but they still need to make a big show of resisting it for anyone who might be paying attention.”
But the most insane story this week involving Trump was reported by The Washington Post, who published a lengthy recorded conversation of Trump acting as his own publicist—shamelessly bragging about his exploits under the alias “John Miller”—in the ‘90s. This was reportedly regular practice for Trump, who’d phone reporters under the alter egos “John Miller” and “John Barron” to boast about all things Trump.
