Trump wants to install “people that will do exactly what he tells them to do,” Oliver said.
John Oliver ripped into President Donald Trump’s Federal Reserve picks, Herman Cain and Steven Moore, on Sunday's episode of HBO’s Last Week Tonight.
The comedian recalled an incident from his time on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart when—in the face of an imaginary oil spill—he persuaded Cain to blow on a horn to “assemble” affected woodland creatures. Cain complied with several absurd requests during the segment. Turning to Moore, Oliver described the television commentator as a “Trump sycophant” and a “tireless advocate of supply-side economics.” Moore, he noted, recently co-authored a book called Trumponomics: Inside the America First Plan to Revive Our Economy. And last year, Moore said Trump should win the Nobel Prize in Economics on a media panel show and in a Washington Times opinion piece.
But there’s no guarantee the pair will take two of the Fed’s seven board seats. Cain and Moore must win Senate approval before they can become board members.
