John Oliver Cashes In On ‘The White Lotus’ Discourse With Jab At Trump, Jokes HBO Is The “Incest Network”

John Oliver knows the whole timeline on X, formerly Twitter, is mired in discourse in the aftermath of the explosive (and murderous) finale of The White Lotus Season 3, and given his show’s shared home at HBO, he’s decided to cash in on the conversation with an apt dig at President Donald Trump.

While playing a clip of POTUS addressing his anti-trans legislation in relation to sports, where he also remarked numerous times about how the women athletes stood behind him were “beautiful” and that such speech could “end” his political career, the Last Week Tonight host drew some not-so-sunny comparisons.

“To be completely fair to Trump, I will say, his understanding of women’s issues is comparable to his understanding of foreign policy, domestic policy, trade, the economy, the concept of consent, human empathy and all but one of his children’s names,” he began.

Continuing, Oliver added, “Trump leads every conversation with a psychosexual energy that makes The White Lotus look like the Teletubbies. Oh, I’m sorry, did the incest storyline [between Patrick Schwarzenegger and Sam Nivola’s on-screen brothers] bother you? Donald Trump joked about dating his own daughter on The View. He said that on a f—ing morning show. At least White Lotus has the decency to air in the evenings, right here, on the incest network,” depicting posters of Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, both HBO series.

The comments came amid Oliver’s segment on the GOP’s “obsession” with trans athletes and banning them in sports, especially via legislation aimed at the school level.

Elsewhere on the program, Oliver addressed J.K. Rowling’s tweet in which she slammed him for his views supporting trans rights, saying, “It feels a bit weird to catch that much heat from the creator of Harry Potter, especially when I clearly look like what would have happened to him if they left him in that cupboard for the rest of his life,” and that he “stands by everything I said” in the episode in question.
