It's been a long three months since John Oliver ended his third season in November the Sunday following the election. Just in the last three weeks, since Donald Trump's inauguration, the country has been on high alert dealing with the fallout from his many unhinged executive orders. Going into his fourth season, Oliver made it clear that he didn't want to focus entirely on the minutia of Trump's presidency, leaving that to other worthy late night hosts Seth Meyers and Samantha Bee. But returning on Sunday night, the surreal existence in Trump's America was unavoidable.

"Normally we like to focus this portion of the show on complex, depressing policy issues," Oliver said. But first, they needed to address something far more pressing: Reality itself. So he set out answering a few basic questions in Trump's presidency: How did a man with such a poor grasp of the truth end up as president? Where are his lies coming from? Why do so many people believe them? And what can be done about it?

This undoubtedly has been widely discussed in the media in the three months since Last Week Tonight has been off the air. It's a nightly topic for Stephen Colbert, for Meyers, for Bee, and all legitimate news outlets. And while Oliver's main segment is a thorough and hilarious dive into the cycle of lies, fake news, and batshit things Trump believes, it hardly seemed like any new information here. That is, until the very end, when Oliver—as he's known to do—took it a step further. Seeing as the only place Trump gets any of his information are morning cable news shows, Oliver bought CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News ad space on Monday to deliver some helpful information to the president.

"We've actually created a series of commercials in an attempt to bring him up to speed on some information he may lack," Oliver said, introducing the ads which teach Trump about the country's nuclear triad, his own daughter's name, and the definition of war crimes.
