John Oliver spent the entire half-hour of HBO’s “Last Week Tonight” Sunday devoted to the “wave of wave of nausea” caused by Donald Trump’s election.

But he cautioned that Trump’s promises — which read like “the to-do list on Satan’s refrigerator (which of course Satan no longer needs now that hell has frozen over” — may not be reliable.

“Either we just elected a president who didn’t mean a single thing he said, or we elected one who did. And it’s impossible to know which one,” Oliver said on his last show of 2016, noting the “60 Minutes” interview where Trump signaled keeping key aspects of Obamacare.

“Get ready for a barely changed version of Obamacare called Trumpcare, which sounds like a health care plan where doctors feel your breasts for lumps, whether you ask them to or not,” Oliver said. “But wait, don’t get complacent that he’s going to keep those aspects of Obamacare. He might change his mind on that again.

“Trump is like a Magic 8 Ball. Every time you shake him, he gives you a different answer. And sometimes the answer is just ‘big league,’ or ‘that’s some body on my daughter, right?’”

Oliver’s takedown didn’t take well with Trump’s fans.

Even liberals found fault with Oliver.
