Bill Maher Reveals How Differently He’ll Tackle Trump’s Second Term

HBO host Bill Maher said that he will not treat this administration of President-elect Donald Trump the same he did during his first presidency.

The comedian and host of the show “Real Time” spoke to CNN anchor Jake Tapper about the new administration and his return to doing standup comedy.

“So I’m not going to chase every rabbit down the hole like I did the first term. You know, that’s what I mean about he’s not going to get my mind. He’s a kooky guy who says a lot of kooky things,” the comedian said.

“And I’m just not going to prehate anything. I’m just going to hope for the best. And then when something serious happens, I’ll comment on that. Otherwise, I have new rules and monologue as a place in the show every week to talk about invading Greenland and annexing Canada and other stuff that’s perfect, perfect for comedy. But I’m not going to take it seriously,” he told Tapper.

The host mentioned a joke Maher had about the president becoming “Ruth Bader Biden,” a nod to the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg who was replaced by Trump because she stayed on the court until she died rather than retiring during a Democrat administration.

“Yeah. And I felt I had standing to make that case because I had for so many years been the only person I know on television who was consistently railing against ageism. I have been saying for years ageism is the last allowable prejudice that we can have in this country,” Maher said.

“You can always do the age jokes. You can always rail on people for being too old. And it was, as I said, a case by case basis. Some people at 70 are act like they’re 100 years old and some people are like 40 year olds. But this was a case, OK, where Biden was too old. Having made that case that it’s a case by case basis, I was now saying, yes, some of those cases are that the person just is too old for the job,” he said.

“And he was going to be much like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, someone who was seen in history as one who stayed out, stayed at the fair too long and cost his party dearly. And he did. And, you know, I don’t think history is going to treat Joe Biden kindly for doing that,” Maher added.
