‘Fuck You, Make Me’
John Oliver discussed Disney's reaction to President Trump's demands regarding Jimmy Kimmel. Trump had reportedly asked Disney to fire or suspend Kimmel for mocking him. Oliver argued that Disney should have resisted these demands. He believes it's crucial to draw a line against such unreasonable requests. Instead of complying, Oliver suggests a defiant stance using the phrase "Fuck you. Make me." He contends this phrase is the most effective way to deter bullies. Oliver connects this principle to the American Revolution, framing it as the nation's founding message to King George III. He sees a parallel between that monarch and the current president, both described as descending into madness. Therefore, Oliver advocates for this strong response to Trump as well.
