John Oliver shares his final thoughts ahead of election day

With the U.S. presidential election now only hours away, John Oliver used Last Week Tonight to a) go after some of Donald Trump’s recent shady business ventures, and b) share a few final words ahead of the big day.

“There’s one final thing I’m going to be very excited for on Tuesday, and that is: If Donald Trump loses this election, he’s basically finished. I know he’d put us through hell before he left the stage, but when the dust settled he’d have lost two elections in a row, and he’d be campaigning as an 82-year-old next time. I think he’d be done. And doesn’t that sound great?” says Oliver.

“I know the problems he’s a symptom of would of course remain, but we wouldn’t have to deal with him anymore. Wouldn’t it be great to live in a world where he’s no longer an active threat, just an annoyance? […] Where he can yell about ice cream machines and complain about windmills and we all have the option of just not giving a shit about any of it at all. I want so badly to live in that world and I hope everyone does everything in their power in the next 48 hours to make that world possible.”

When will we know who won the 2024 election? Mashable’s got you covered.
