“The Nightly Show” host Larry Wilmore has been incredibly forthright in his dislike of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

On Wednesday night’s show, Wilmore did not hold back: “Look, Trump is stupid,” he said. “Plain and simple.”

“Contempt for higher learning and critical thinking — or as they call it, elitism — was always a strategy for smart guys to get into office. But now those smart guys are getting buried by their own creation of dumb,” Wilmore said. “That’s why Jeb is so frustrated. Why do you think he has an exclamation point at the end of his name?”

Between Trump’s comments on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, oil in the Mideast and his endorsement of Operation Wetback, Wilmore is done.

“This isn’t funny anymore. It’s just stupid,” he said.
