Donald Trump has a new target... and it's not a political rival or a debate moderator. 

Trump is feuding with John Oliver after the comic and host of HBO's "Last Week Tonight" said on Friday he has no interest in having GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump on the show.

On Saturday, Trump took to Twitter to claim he already rejected an offer to appear: 

That wasn't the end of it. 

The team behind "Last Week Tonight" fired back on Sunday with a message that Oliver retweeted from his personal account: 

Oliver told "CBS This Morning" on Friday that he has doesn't care about Trump "in any capacity." 

"There's nothing else to add. He's said everything he wants to say," Oliver said. "There's no internal monologue, that man, so it's not like you're going to find the secret nugget he's been holding back."
