John Oliver taunted former President Donald Trump in a Last Week Tonight segment on the corn industry Sunday.

The host noted the long history of American politicians being weird around corn on the campaign trail to pander to corn-farming regions. He offered Barack Obama , Mitt Romney and George W. Bush as examples.

But perhaps no one has ever been weirder while discussing it than this, Oliver said, cutting to a January speech Trump gave in New Hampshire.

I just met non-liquid gold. You know where it was? Iowa! Its called corn, Trump said in the clip. Its not liquid. Thats my take. You have more non-liquid gold. They said, What is that? I said, Corn! They said, We love that idea. Thats a nickname in its own way, but we came up with .... a new couple of words for corn!

Oliver acted befuddled and showed off his ear for corn comedy.

Did you though? Oliver asked of Trump. Because non-liquid gold isnt so much a way of describing corn as it is a way of describing regular gold. Thats a level of non-innovation innovation that we havent seen since Lyft invented something called Lyft Shuttle, which was and this is true the bus!
