John Oliver Says Trump Won’t Accept Election Loss: ‘If You’re Not Concerned, You Haven’t Been Watching’

As a long-time follower of John Oliver and his insightful commentary on current events, I wholeheartedly share his concerns about the upcoming election. Having witnessed the chaos and tumult that ensued after Trump lost the presidential race in 2020, it’s difficult not to be alarmed at the prospect of another close call this year.


At the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards, comedian John Oliver shared with EbMaster’s Marc Malkin his belief that President Donald Trump may refuse to concede defeat in this year’s election.

Oliver stated, ‘The outcome will likely be extremely tight.’ He further added, ‘If Trump were to lose, he might not acknowledge it, which makes the prospect of such a close contest even more ludicrous.’

It’s well-known that John Oliver, the host of “Last Week Tonight,” has previously expressed his disagreement with the former president.

On the 16th of June, the British-American humorist cautioned voters about the potential long-term repercussions of a second term for Trump as president. He highlighted the harmful beliefs of the Republican nominee and explained how the implementation of Project 2025 could be damaging.

If you find yourself pondering: ‘Well, Trump made grand, alarming pledges in 2016 as well, but many of them were broken,’ that is accurate.” Oliver stated on an episode of “Last Week Tonight.” “However, it’s also worth noting that he did cause considerable harm…he dismantled the Iran nuclear agreement, abandoned the Paris climate accord, reduced food assistance programs, granted substantial tax reductions to corporations, separated families at the border, proposed treating COVID with bleach…

The chat show moderator informed EbMaster that, while Trump has provided ample material for humor, he was not a desirable subject for comedians and expressed hope that he wouldn’t need to make more jokes about Trump in the future.

Oliver underscored the stress surrounding the November election, considering Trump’s reaction after his defeat in the 2020 presidential race. Two months afterwards, a group of Trump supporters violently tried to seize control of the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington D.C., aiming to restore Trump to political authority – an attempt that resembled a coup.

In this film, we encounter a character who struggles to cope with loss, a trait that’s evident from their past. If you’re not feeling uneasy or worried while watching, it might be because you haven’t been fully paying attention.
