John Oliver on Trump's last week: 'We are supposed to live in a country of checks and balances'

Trump is totally outta his mind ! Who needs a $300 million ballroom when you're destroying public property ? And $230 million restitution from the Justice Dept? That's just wild . It's like he thinks he's above the law . And unilateral war declarations? that's not how democracy works .

Medicare Advantage is a whole other level of crazy ! Patients paying more for less care and providers getting paid peanuts . We need single-payer healthcare, stat ! No more profiteering off people's suffering . Time to hold those in power accountable . This country is gone wild ... need a sanity check !

I'm literally speechless right now . The fact that Trump is throwing $300 million at his own ego project, while also asking for $230 million from the Justice Department, is just unbelievable . And don't even get me started on him declaring war without Congressional approval - it's like he thinks he's above the law . What's next? Is he going to start making decisions that benefit himself and his pals, rather than the country as a whole?

And then there's Medicare Advantage, which sounds like some kind of sci-fi movie at first but is actually super convoluted and unfair . We need to rethink our approach to healthcare ASAP and prioritize people over profits. A single-payer system would be a huge step in the right direction .

It's times like these that make me wonder if we're losing our grip on reality as a society . Trump's antics are not just about him, they're about the values we're supposed to hold dear: accountability, transparency, and putting people first. We need to take back control and demand better from those in power .

OMG, are u kidding me?! Trump's latest move is just insane! Razing the East Wing to build a fancy ballroom is just so extra . And those $230 million demands from him? Get real, dude! It's like he thinks he's above the law or something .

And don't even get me started on this whole war thing... it's like, what even is going on here?! A unilateral declaration of war without Congressional approval? That's just not how it works, man. And it's so reckless and impulsive... I'm worried about the implications for our international relationships and national security.

And then there's Medicare Advantage - ugh, that system is a mess! It's like they're more interested in lining their own pockets than helping people. The lack of transparency and oversight is just unacceptable. We need to rethink our approach to healthcare ASAP!

I'm so tired of politicians putting profits over people... we need to take back control and hold them accountable for their actions. A single-payer system might be the way to go, but until then, we're stuck with a mess of half-baked solutions. Let's get our act together, folks!

I mean... like, can we just chill on the whole "nation gone mad" thing? I know Trump's antics are wild, but maybe he's not as out of touch as everyone says. I'm talking about those $300 million renovations - it's definitely a lot to spend, but maybe the White House needs an upgrade for its own good? And what if his demands on the Justice Department aren't so unreasonable after all? Maybe he's just trying to make up for some of the drama he caused during his time in office...

But then again, about that war declaration thingy... that does sound super dodgy. I'm not sure if Trump's just trolling us or if we should be genuinely concerned. Can't wait to see how this plays out... And those Medicare plans? Ugh, still don't like the idea of private insurers making a profit off people's healthcare... but at the same time, maybe some of these 'alternative' options are worth exploring?

I'm so confused now . Maybe we need to take a step back and look at this from a different angle? One that balances all the different perspectives and doesn't just rely on outrage or fear-mongering? That's a thought, anyway...
