Not long after Donald Trump met with state and local politicians about the devastating wildfires, Bill Maher on Friday took aim at the President’s threats to withhold federal funds and how he shouldn’t treat Californians like they’re visiting “a casino and you are comping our room.”
“First of all, you’re not giving us anything. We’re Americans,” he said at the start of Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO. “He’s obsessed with this small fish called the smelt. Now there is a story about this and it’s too complicated to go into, but you know, it’s a fish we changed the laws for. He said, ‘no wonder it’s endangered. It’s not getting any water.’ No Don, the fish has the water because we took down the irrigation dams in order to … oh f–k just do your dance and get out of here.”
Saying how Trump is only “13 percent contained,” Maher made a crack about the President taking one look at the pink flame retardant that was used in the wildfires by saying, “I had no idea this place was that gay.”
Maher then jabbed at Trump’s first week in office and how he hit the ground running by signing multiple executive orders, memos and proclamations.
“One of the proclamations, we will now only recognize two sexes,” continued Maher. “If that doesn’t grab you by the pussy, I don’t know what will.”
“I’m sure it’s just a coincident but before the inauguration, Trump increased his wealth by 89 percent in a day to $58 billion,” Maher continued. “He’s now one of richest 25 people in the world with meme coins. He released one of him and one of Melania. It’s crypto currency that’s inspired by an internet meme. It’s kind of like if Bernie Madoff sold Pokemon cards. So Trump voters help me out on one thing. You voted for him because you couldn’t afford eggs but you can afford the Melania magic coin?”
Maher ended his monologue with a comment about the Oscar nominations and how Emilia Perez amassed the most nods. “Have you seen this one? It’s the Spanish language musical that celebrates a Mexican drug lord who becomes a better person by having a sex change operation,” he said. “I’m just glad the Proud Boys got out of prison in time to see it.”
