No, Bill, it's MORE f...d up than you thought it was.

Bill Maher said:


A crazy person doesn't live in the White House. A person who plays a crazy person on TV a lot does.
I know it's fucked up.  It's just not as fucked up as I thought it was.


It's considerably more chilling to think that someone who is in control of how he presents himself is manipulating the country to such evil ends, than it is to think we have a bufoon who will disappear in three years.

2. Trump's defenders won't be able to plead insanity, he's legally responsible for all the crimes against humanity.

It is EXACTLY as fucked up as I thought I was and YOUR statement is proof of that.

BTW… Bill, get a better mirror.

5. Either someone is paying him or he's stupid enough to be dazzled by personal attention at the white house.

Either way he's been slimy for a long time and he just gets slimier.

8. Well, if it's an "act", then it is dangerous and unacceptable.

Playing crazy does not excuse his criminal acts or the threats upon the American people. That dog don't hunt.

9. Maher is so damaging to the country

I read what he said about his meeting and it’s terrifying how he normalizes insanity.

He basically is saying Trump is this amazing cordial smart and funny guy in real life, but his personna publicly is just part of his grand plan.

So dangerous. We’re falling into all out fascism now.

10. Worse to know we have an amoral devious deliberately manipulative conman in charge

Not merely an eccentric nut but using crazy talk purposefully to threaten those not in line while entertaining the cult and throwing people off the extent and seriousness of his bad intentions. As a malignant narcissist he thrives on playing high stakes games and presenting an alternate reality but what's so scary is his power to actually change reality benefiting him while causing misery and ruined lives for so many others.

If anything was at the top of the list of predictable events, Maher's fawning over Orange Julius was.

It's his reality TV studio. He lives in his vermin infested golf motel in Florida, where he spends the bulk of his time golfing.
