Donald Trump's federal budget plan proposes large funding cuts with largely negative consequences. On last night's LAST WEEK TONIGHT,  John Oliver examined the troubling priorities of the new administration.

The episode covered international reactions to International Women's Day, what WikiLeaks revealed about the CIA, and a detailed look at the potential impact of the American Health Care Act.

Topics covered were the ongoing saga of Trump campaign associates meeting with Russian officials, accusations of Trump Tower being wiretapped by former President Obama, and Tibetan Buddhists suffering deep persecution by the Chinese government. John Oliver sits down with the Dalai Lama in India to discuss China, the conditions in Tibet, and horse milk.

This week's topics include President Trumps's domination of the week's news cycle overshadowing other news, including the assassination of North Korea's Kim Jong Un's half-brother and the possible motives behind President Trump's weird soft spot for Russia and Vladimir Putin.

Last Week Tonight asks four basic questions of the new Trump administration: How did get a pathological liar get into the White House? Where are his lies coming from? Why do so many people believe him? And, what can we do about it?
