Trump Prepares To Debate Biden By Trying To End Bill Maher's Career

[Tom of Temecula]

Instead of preparing for the presidential debate, Trump is spending his time attacking Bill Maher and telling conservative media to ignore the comedian. Trump posted on Truth Social:

Bill Maher, the highly overrated “Star” of the ratings challenged show with the Fake, Loud and Obnoxious laughter pouring out of your set every few seconds, even when nothing was said that was funny (which is most of the time!), suffers from a terminal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, sometimes referred to as TDS. Republicans should stop using him as a reference point, his show is dead!

Over the last few years, Bill Maher has followed the path traveled by many aging white men who are upset that they can no longer do and say whatever they want with no consequences by finding an audience appealing to Trump’s political party which is made up mostly of aging white people who are upset that they are losing power in the face of demographic change, and view Trump as a hero because until 2024, he was able to do and say what he wanted without accountability or consequences.

Maher turned himself into MAGA Maher, which is really nothing more than Maher going back to his attitudes and beliefs that he he held in the 1990’s when hosting Politically Incorrect. If anything the fake Maher was the guy who appealed to the left, because otherwise Bill Maher has always drifted right. Apparently, even MAGA Maher is not enough to spare the HBO host from efforts to kick him out of Trump’s kingdom.

1. I wish Trump every success in this attempt

[Shermann]

2. Maher's deal has always been constructive criticism of the left and scathing criticism of the right. nt

[Bucky]

3. Anyone who gets under Trump's skin can't be all bad

Even when I disagree with Maher, he's a useful voice in the national debate. Trump is just a cancer.

4. trump of course, didn't write that as he can barely remember yesterday, much less the 1990's.

And why would trump be concerning himself about who is watching Maher's show, magats certainly aren't?

5. Personally

I despise Bill Maher

[kimbutgar]

9. I had to stop watching him when President Biden got elected

My husband still watched him for awhile and also got disgusted and quit!

6. The description of the show laugh track was correct.

What was unsaid is that laughter is Trumps kryptonite.
We all need to laugh at him, to his face, every fart sound
and smell.
The funniest thing about him is that
he hates when he is the joke.
Whisper it in his ear, 'The world is laughing at you Donald'.

7. Maher is all in on Biden dropping out

He talks endlessly that Biden should step aside and it’s not too late to do so.

That, and he has basically settled in the idea that transsexuals trick children into gender identity issues to groom them for sex. He truly is a threat to the trans community. Says trans teens are just doing it to be cool.

8. Hehe. MAGA Maher. Swing and a miss.

This piece is dumb in the sense that it's poorly written. But it does have the sort of bait/switch lowbrow cleverness I recognize now but would never fall for. I'm older than twelve.

[Mountainguy]

10. Mad that he can't say what he wants with consequence?

while constantly saying what he wants without consequence? He's the same as he's always been.

These purity tests are getting to be too much.

[Paladin]

11. "Bill Maher has always drifted right."

Bullseye.

[leftyladyfrommo]

12. Maher's probably loving all this attention. nt

[peggysue2]

13. Didn't Trump sue Maher at one point?

For saying Agent Orange was the off-spring of an orangutan.

As I recall, the case was dropped but the whole thing was vintage Trump--has no sense of humor, can't stand any criticism and will sue over complete nonsense.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

14. Who cares?

I and a good number of other Democrats stopped paying attention to Maher a long ago
