Bill Maher, 70, Sucks Up to Trump After Kennedy Center Award Chaos
After a messy back-and-forth over the Mark Twain Prize, the late-night host opted for praise over payback.

Bill Maher is suddenly playing nice with Donald Trump—even after the president tried to stop a coveted award from making its way to the late-night host’s trophy case.

On Friday’s episode of Real Time With Bill Maher, the 70-year-old host addressed the week-long mess over his Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. While the comedian acknowledged the White House’s efforts to torpedo the honor, he then seemed to shrug it all off.

“I just want things to work out. I’m not looking for a fight, and I’m not mad that he did this,” Maher said in his monologue.

“Me and the president, we have a complicated relationship… this has been going on a long time, so him trying to block me from getting it? I respect the move.”

1. Yep, Trump has dirt on Maher.

I'm guessing Bill's been abusing young girls for years, and Bondi's got the pics in the Epstein pedo files.

7. Don't think he was friends with Epstein, but...

2. "so him trying to block me from getting it? I respect the move." Jesus Christ, have a little dignity.

Bill Maher has apparently joined the war effort because if any Iranians see this, they might die a little bit inside from the cringe. I know I did.

4. What is it about Trump that makes

millionaires, billionaires, sports stars, politicians and celebrities great and small grovel before this cheesy, lazy, syphilis ridden bully?

Does he put the whammy on them?

[ck4829]

5. Good question. It is pathetic.

[SocialDemocrat61]

8. Simple

They are cowards.

[johnnyfins]

13. He has some kind of Kompromat on them

It's kind of obvious.

[displacedvermoter]

15. All of them?

That is a lot of dirt digging. Does Trump have Roy Cohn on a ouija board gathering shit?

[BannonsLiver]

3. Seems like yesterday that he was doing his new rule complaining about how too many black people win Oscars.

I guess that passes for entertainment with some folks.

[SocialDemocrat61]

10. In recent weeks his "new rules"

has attacked and even slandered elected democrats. Yet there are those who claim to be democrats who've repeatedly stated that "new rules" 'is always fun'.

6. I Watched It

I did not hear any sucking up.

[tableturner]

16. I agree!

[randr]

9. He thinks he has a relationship?

Bill is just another puppet at the end of a string.

[Zambero]

11. Since Maher's opting to not turn it down

He will never live it down. At this point in history, normalizing and sucking up to MAGA will leave an
indelible stain that won't be washed away with time. Nothing that he's said or done before or after will matter.

[SamuelTheThird]

12. Twain would never have been such a suck-up

[mercuryblues]

14. Maher will now replace the...

Grovel Bot

[City Lights]

17. I despise both of them. nt

[LetMyPeopleVote]

18. Who cares what this idiot does or thinks?

Maher sucked up to trump because Maher is no longer relevant. Maher ceased being funny a long time ago. Giving Maher this award is an insult to the memory and legacy of Mark Twain

[ananda]

19. Do people still watch that show?

He's such an asshole.

[Eddie Haskell 60]

20. I agree

Maher supports war only if the genocidal ethno-state of Israel can continue their Greater Israel project by double-tapping rescue workers at bombed schools, places of worship, and hospitals.

[SocialDemocrat61]

21. Yes they do. Here's a pic of them.

[D_Master81]

22. What a clown

Maher going full MAGA as the President’s approval rating circles the drain is a disaster of a choice that makes no sense outside of blackmail.
