After some uncertainty Tuesday morning, it appears the ceasefire between Israel and Iran is holding, which means that there were plenty of previously recorded anti-Trump hot takes from the late night comedy shows on Sunday and Monday that aged rather poorly.
HBO’s John Oliver tapes Last Week Tonight on Saturday, but it airs on Sunday. This particular taping occurred before the B-2 dropped their bombs on three Iranian nuclear facilities, but Oliver did claim to know one thing for certain on Saturday: everything is Trump’s fault:
And as for what this would actually accomplish, some experts suggest a successful attack would simply set Iran's nuclear program back by a year or two. Which is pretty galling, given Trump arguably got us into this situation in the first place, after abandoning the Iran nuclear deal back in 2018. America getting directly involved here would massively escalate things, with no guarantee regarding what the outcome would be. And yet, we're right on the edge of doing exactly that. As for whether Trump actually calls a strike, it seems that nobody—including him—has any real idea.
