Comedian and pundit Bill Maher roasted President Donald Trump over what he called “kingly” actions after the president was gifted an enormous gold crown during his Asia trip.
On Friday night’s edition of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, the interview guest was Dan Farah, writer, producer, and director of the documentary “The Age of Disclosure.”
The panel guests were Michael Moynihan, co-host of “The Fifth Column” podcast and host of interview series “The Moynihan Report”; and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Republican congresswoman representing Georgia’s 14th district.
Maher spent a chunk of his monologue mocking Trump over the accusation he behaves like a monarch:
Yeah, this ain’t funny. I mean, you know, the government has been shut down for a month, and so there’s this big battle of chicken in Washington.
But they are playing a game of chicken with each other to see who will blink first, but this is, you know, people’s cards are going to show up to Saturday and there’s going to be nothing there to buy food, this is not funny? And yet at the same time, they did find, the administration, 40 billion dollars to loan Argentina.
I think I know what America first means when you’re a foreign country and you need money. Ask America first.
Yeah, I tell you, even the Republicans, the natives are getting a little restless. A lot of them are saying, you know, the president spends a little too much time thinking about foreign issues and not enough here at home. He was just got back from a big Asian trip, now signed a lot of deals, hopefully this is good.
He was in, I’ll tell you the, those Asians, they know how to kiss ass. He was in South Korea and the president there gave him a golden crown and Trump was very moved by it. He said, I know exactly where I’m going to keep it, on my head.
Well, there’s some pretty good news on that in the King area. It’s a big word these days, King, you know, because the third term president has talked about a third term many times. You know, in the past, he’s, I think you could do it.
This week, he said, based on what I read, I guess it’s not allowed, but we’ll see what happens.
Well, first of all, I can show you where you can read about it. It’s like 14 words in this thing called the Constitution. And then the president said, I can’t comment on an ongoing insurrection. But. This is.
Here’s a kingly move that kind of happened this week. The Justice Department suspended two federal prosecutors because they wrote a report and in the report they referred to January 6th as a riot and a mob.
And you know what? In this administration you cannot even use those words. No riot, don’t say riot, please, act like they rushed the building and smashed their way in and beat up cops and smeared sh*t on the walls. Oh wait, that’s exactly what they did there,.
No, no, no. It was not a mob because they’re patriots and it couldn’t have been a riot because they were white. So that’s how you…
