'It's dangerous how good he is at lying': Trump has never been invited on John Oliver's show, host says

The late-night comedian said of the president's claim, 'You are just emptying your ego down the toilet.'

"It's a really discombobulating thing to think, 'I know you're wrong, but you are now more confident in your lie than I am in the truth,'" Oliver explained."So I said to our staff: 'Please tell me—it's fine, no one is in any trouble—if you just reached out to do any fact-check that could be construed as an invitation.' And obviously the answer was no.

In 2017, Oliver turned Trump's tweet about appearing on the show into fodder for a caustic segment about joining the so-called"Trump Attacked Me on Twitter" Hall of Fame. Oliver, originally from Birmingham, England, has lived and worked in the U.S. since 2006 and finally became a U.S. citizen last December. He toldthat his decision to set roots in the U.S. is not an endorsement of the current president, however.
