John Oliver has mocked Donald Trump’s Space Force announcement, likening the US president to “a child that you hate”.
Speaking on his HBO topical comedy series Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, the comedian and TV presenter said: “While you would expect the president to be laser-focused on this pandemic and nothing else, he took a break on Friday to unveil the Space Force flag and do a little bragging.
Donald Trump posed with a gigantic Space Force flag whilst standing way too close to someone, referred to a super duper missile, and called the US ‘the leader in space’.”
He continued: “[Trump] truly has the spirit, brain, appetite, temper, patience and wit of a child that you hate.”
