John Oliver rips apart Trump's old promise to 'drain the swamp' in 16-minute rant

Remember Trump's campaign promise to "drain the swamp"? 

John Oliver does. In the 16-minute clip above from Last Week Tonight, he breaks down exactly how well he thinks Trump has done when it comes to this particular promise.

Spoiler alert: he doesn't think it's gone so well. And to illustrate why Oliver uses three different examples of the type of people currently in power in DC. 

"It seems pretty clear at this stage that Trump has in no way 'drained the swamp'," says Oliver. "What he has done is drained the phrase of its original meaning."
