« Bill Maher: Islamophobe or one of the last true liberals?
Bill Maher, the host of HBO's long-running political satire program,
"Real Time with Bill Maher," ripped into President Trump's fir
week in office in his latest episode. Covering topics
‘Trump's executive actions on Syrian refugees and immigration to
‘Trump's obsession with the media and the size of the crowd at his
inauguration, Maher had one thing to say about Trump's first week:
is going on?"
ranging from
Maher tore into the fast pace of Trump's executive actions: “He
keeps holding [the executive orders] up after he signs them, like,
‘Look! Look mommy, I finished my coloring! Maybe we can put it on
the refrigerator!’ The problem is, you know, exeentive orders are a
real thing. When Obama did it he had the lawyers
knew what was happening in the departments. No one knows how
these things are going to work! Nobody knows where the money's
coming from."

Executive orders, Maher joked, are like "signed tweets!” Trump
seems to be just throwing them out as quick as possible to show he
is doing something, “Because he’s a doer,” Maher continued.

"His first week was like the last half hour of Goodfellas! Ray Liotta
is coked up out of his mind and doing ten things at once: he’s
dropping off a trunk full of handguns AND he’s making s
aghetti
AND helicopters are ¢ t really go on like this for
four years, can it?"
Maher ended the show with his regular "New Rules" segment,
insisting that while the pain is still fresh and continuing to hurt,
liberals must figure out what went wrong. Maher had an
explanation, "Democrats have gone from the party that protects
people, to the party that protects feelings - from 'Ask not what your
country can do for you’ to 'you owe me an apology.’ Republicans
apologize for nothing, Democrats for everything, can't we find a
balance."
“While you self-involved fools were policing the language at the
Kid’s Choice Awards, a mad man talked his way into the White
House," concluded Maher.
