John Oliver really hates Donald Trump's wall


How can John Oliver possibly follow up his instant-classic "Donald Drumpf" segment? With a plan to Make Waffle Irons Great Again.

On Sunday's Last Week Tonight, Oliver dedicated another full segment to Donald Trump's presidential campaign, this time going after one of Trump's most notorious policy proposals: the wall he plans to build along the U.S.-Mexico border. As you may have guessed, Oliver is not a fan of the plan.

So instead, he proposed an alternate way to waste all that money: waffles! “If the main thing it’s going to get us is a warm sense of satisfaction inside, I suggest instead of building that wall, we use the money to buy every man, woman, and child in America a Palmer Waffle Iron," he said.

"These beauties retail at $75 apiece, so we’d still have nearly $1 billion left over. This waffle iron plan will cost less, will do nearly as much to keep out immigrants and drugs, and it won’t harm our relationship with our third-largest trading partner. If it is racist, it’s only toward Belgians, and unlike Donald Trump’s wall, this makes (expletive) waffles!”

Now that's a campaign we can get behind.
