Comedy CentralOn Sunday night, John Oliver poured cold water all over Trump’s victory lap following the death of monstrous ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, noting how Trump’s abandonment of the Kurds in Northern Syria has not only led to his authoritarian pals Erdogan and Putin carving up the region, but the escape of over a hundred ISIS prisoners.
