Many people are happy to see him in office.
Some are voters who think hell bring jobs back and shake up Washington.
Others are happy simply because he isnt Hillary Clinton.

And others, of course, are Vladimir Putin and Scott Baio, Oliver said.
Namely, how the f did we get here, and what the f do we do now?
Donald Trump will be president, and respecting democracy means accepting that.
Although there is one sentiment that I would argue takes that a little too far.
In the broadest sense I get that impulse.
Hope for the best in the face of very long odds, Oliver said.
But, he added, Optimism is nice, if you’re free to swing it.
But youve got to be careful, because it can feed into the normalization of Donald Trump.
Because he is not normal.
Hes a human, what is wrong with this picture?
He sticks out like a sore thumb, and frankly he even looks like a sore thumb.
Because some of them are alarming.
Which of course Satan no longer needs now that hell has frozen over.
And its impossible to know which one, Oliver added, citing Trumps recent flip-flop on repealing Obamacare.
But wait, dont get complacent that hes going to keep those aspects of Obamacare.
He might change his mind on that again.
And sometimes the answer is just big league, or thats some body on my daughter, right?'
Specifically how a system that is supposed to catch a serial liar failed.
Weird conspiracy bullsh has always been bubbling under the surface, Oliver said.
But Trump was the first major candidate to harness and fully legitimize it.
And that, at least in part, is why he will be our next president.
As for Olivers other query: What the f do we do now?
The host had some suggestions.
We need to stay here and fight, he said.
But that is going to change now.
So were going to have to actively stand up for one another.
Im talking about actual sacrifice to support people who are now under threat.
Things will not be okay.
So keep reminding yourself: This is not normal.
Write it on a Post-It note, and stick it on your refrigerator.
Hire a skywriter once a month.
Tattoo it on your ass.
Because aKlan-backed, misogynist internet troll is going to be delivering the next State of the Union address.
And that is not normal, it is fed up.
Season 4 ofLast Week Tonightwill air in 2017.

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this post stated that Oliver suggested people also donate to the ACLU.
