"Last Week Tonight" host John Oliver used the season ending episode of his HBO-aired show to implore Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to end his run for the White House.

"Drop out and tell America this entire thing was a stunt, a satire to expose the flaws in the system," said Oliver, who in an earlier episode branded the New York City businessman and political neophyte "an imploding star."

Trump a Mismatch

In his latest show, Oliver went on to point out the countless ways he's convinced Trump simply isn't the right person for the job. Examples of that he offered included to "living in government housing, conversing with fully clothed women, and traveling in planes that don't have 'Trump' emblazoned on them."

Ultimately, Oliver took time out to apologize to all the show's fans for spending so much time this season talking about Trump, but hinted he simply couldn't help himself given all the controversy the GOP nominee's candidacy has wrought.

"It seems that you have two really bad options here," Oliver told Trump. "If you keep going, you're going to spend the next 11 weeks ramping up hatred in speeches, injecting poison into the American bloodstream that will take generations to remove, and denying the country the contest of ideas that the presidential campaign should actually be."

With Oliver insisting he's convinced winning the election may actually make Trump as "miserable" as losing it, he reasoned his only option is to now walk away.

"Tell America this entire candidacy was a stunt," he said. "A satire designed to expose the flaws in the system."

The Twisted Good

Even as he branded Trump's overall campaign a "bigoted clown's funeral pyre," he conceded it "accidentally made upwards of four good points," namely exposing the flaws of a broken campaign finance system, showing how to exploit the media for free airtime, and proving Republicans stick together no matter what.

But more than anything, Oliver said, Trump "exposed the flaws in us": the voters.

"Just think about how triumphant it would feel to say on national television, 'I openly ran on a platform of impossibly ignorant proposals steeped in racial bigotry and nobody stopped me," he said in directly speaking to Trump. "In fact you embraced me for it. What the f**k was that about?"

Finally, Oliver opined "If you drop out in order to teach America a lesson, you would not be a loser, you would be a legend."
