It would only embolden them that some limp wristed British socialist LOSER criticized their hero.
This is so typical of Drumpf fans, to attack anyone's character and success who dares criticize their thin-skinned hero. Oliver is an American citizen married an American. His wife, Kate, served in the Iraq war as a medic and they have a son. He's a very successful person in his field.

Trump-esque response: "He looks like an owl and his wife of convenience put some band aids on paper cuts and we're supposed to be impressed?"
This was one of the best things I've seen all day. However, I doubt Trump fans will be swayed. There must be a psychological name for this condition - when a person digs in behind their position, no matter how irrational, and won't be swayed from their viewpoint no matter how much logic is used.
The word you're searching for is stupid. It should be the caption under the picture of every Trump supporter.
Right?
Trump wouldn't even go on his show when he was asked 5 times!
Clearly you didn't watch the video. John Oliver confirmed that they have never ever invited Trump, not even accidentally.
John Oliver's response was hysterical.
"It was genuinely destabilizing to be on the receiving end of a lie that confident. I even checked to make sure that no one had even accidentally invited him and of course they hadn't. And I'm not even sure he knows he's lying. I think he just doesn't care about what the truth is. Donald Trump views the truth like this lima views the Supreme Court vacancy. I don't care about that in any way, please **** off, I have a banana."

An example is a smoker trying to reconcile enjoying smoking and the research that smoking leads to premature death. The smoker can reconcile that by quitting smoking or by attack the research about cancer as unfounded.
In other words, a typical response when presented with facts that undercut a firmly held belief is to dismiss the facts in favor of your belief. When reading the posts of Drumpf supporters, that's the tendency that I see. When facts are presented that undercut their vision of Drumpf, they attack those presenting the facts so they can dismiss the evidence presented.

I am not understanding your point.
My understanding of the events was that Drumpf said that he didn't know Oliver and was invited on the show 4 or 5 times. Oliver and his confirmed that they never invited him, which undercuts the claim that they did.
I find the video pure gold and Oliver, a national treasure -- ours.

I agree but I wasn't responding to you, look at who I was responding to.

Trump doesn't know who Oliver is but he knows he has been invited to his show 5 times.
