John Oliver has no plans to flee America amid Trump''s second term: ''Going down with the Titanic''
[NYPOST] Liberal HBO host John Oliver lamented the state of America on ''The Late Show,'' but insisted he would be ''going down with the Titanic'' rather than fleeing back to the U.K.

The host of HBO political commentary and comedy show ''Last Week Tonight'' told CBS's Stephen Colbert Monday night that he recently became a U.S. citizen and would stay in America despite suggesting it's a sinking ship under the Trump administration.

''Oh, no, I'm sticking it out. I'm going down with the Titanic,'' Oliver said to Colbert.

The two comedians reminisced about Oliver's previous appearances on the show, including his last one, which was the night before Election Day 2024. Both mentioned the horror they felt anticipating Trump's victory.

''Cards on the table, by the way,'' Colbert said, ''I don't remember anything we talked about because I don't think I was listening to a word you said.''

Oliver chimed in, stating, ''Yes, you definitely did have a haunted expression, like you've seen the ghost that would be visiting us in twenty-four hours' time.''

#2 He'd rather live with Donald Trump than go back to his country of origin now that Keir Starmer is running the place. Smart guy.
