Bill Maher Ridicules ‘Manly’ Trump Administration In Blistering Rant On Bonkers Military Speech

Comedian and pundit Bill Maher roasted President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on their over-the-top military speeches, mocking the notion they represent a “manly administration.”

On Friday night’s edition of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, the interview guest was Louis C.K., Emmy^® Award-winning writer, actor, director, comedian, and author of the upcoming novel “Ingram.”

The panel guests were Van Jones, CNN political commentator and founder of Dream Machine Innovation Lab and Rapport; and Thomas Friedman, New York Times columnist and Pulitzer Prize-winning author.

Maher opened the show with a blistering monologue hitting Trump over the shutdown and his speech to military leaders:

BILL MAHER: He said today, tweeted out that the Democrats are the party of hate, evil, and Satan. Good faith.

Which is so ridiculous. If they ran Satan, they would have won Florida. I kid Florida, I love Florida. But now, Trump knows how to negotiate this. We’re going to get over this. You know how you do it?

You get everybody in a room, preferably a ballroom. And you say, nobody’s leaving here until you check out these cherubs. Are these not… Because… It is… Cherubs. This is a manly administration!

I don’t know if you saw the other big thing that happened in Washington this week. Our Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth. He called in from all over the world. The 800 highest ranking service people we have. The generals and the admirals from all of the world, did you see that room? Oh my God, it was more crew cuts than in a lesbian bar.

But…

Thank you. Because that is the thing you want to do most. You want to get your most critical people in the command structure all gathered in one room. Hopefully with the doors locked from the outside.

And then Pete gave them a Ted Talk. About how much he has had with the military, which is too gay, too woke, too sloppy, too badly groomed, too obese. He’s not wrong about that last one for sure. Well, no, these are facts. Almost 70% of the military, did you know this, is overweight. The song the Marines sing now is from the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Triple X.

Thank you.

Well, you know, come on. But Pete says that shit ends now. We are changing our motto from Semper Fi to no fat chicks.

By the way, I love this. He included the generals in this. He’s too many fat generals and admirals walking around the halls of the Pentagon. Are you kidding? This is supposed to be an exercise in morale building.

Because nothing pumps you up like taking a 22 hour flight to be yelled at by a Fox News dry drunk about your love handles.

I love this. And you know, a few weeks ago they changed the name of the Defense Department to the Department of War. So that’s how we started. He said, welcome. The War Department is now the Department Of Defense. No, the other way around.

The Department of Defense is now The Department Of War, you f–king hippies. And he called them. He said no more Beardos. I’m not kidding. He used that word. I never heard that word, apparently a combination of weirdo and beard. No more beardos.

And they did his shaving private Ryan hunk. It’s funny. Half the speech was about a warrior ethos that we want and manly men. And the other half was grooming tips. Because nothing says warrior ethos like what products do you use?

So to recap, no gays, just buff hairless men.
