It took comedian John Oliver just over twenty minutes on Sunday night to destroy nearly everything said during President Donald Trump's announcement last Thursday to withdraw the United States from the international Paris agreement on climate change.

Calling Trump "a fucking egomaniac" with a "ludicrous misunderstanding" of the Paris deal and human-caused global warming, Oliver could hardly contain his exasperation as he performed a running fact-check of the president's remarks.
