Bill Maher Updates His Trump ‘Dictator Checklist’ After News of Military Parade

On Friday night, Bill Maher shared his ‘dictator checklist’ he began last year on President Trump after it was reported that he wants a military parade.

“We put together a ‘dictator checklist’ last year right around this time,” Maher began. “It’s pretty scary. And now with the military parades, he had 8 out of 10. Now he he’s gonna have 9 out of 10.”

The Real Time host began listing the items that have been “checked off.” They include “you’re a narcissist and you like your name or face on buildings,” “appoint family members to positions of power,” “rallies,” “you hate the press and use your own propaganda outlet” (which he singled out Fox News as “State TV”), ‘missile parades,” “you use your office for you own personal financial gain,” “align with other dictators,” “claim minorities are the cause of problems in this country, and “you lie so freely that people don’t know what the truth is anymore.”

“Who has rallies after the election is over?” Maher asked.

“He’s still campaigning!” April Ryan responded.

“It’s not even about campaigning,” Maher shot back. “It’s about, ‘he’s feeling blue because someone was mean on TV…  so I need 9,000 drooling idiots in an airplane hanger in Tuscaloosa stat!'”

Maher noted that the one item on the list that Trump has yet to do is “military costume.”

“It’ll be Real Time From Vancouver,” Maher joked.
