to explain they are, of course, unavailable for comment. Per Maher...

“Republicans dance like Trump now. They may name weapons systems after him. They’ve even dressed like him with the trademark suit and tie, available exclusively at Banana Republic,” he noted. “All these super macho guys eating the ass of another man.”

Maher also acknowledged Trump’s speech from earlier this month in the episode, pointing out that the president incorrectly stated that the country spent $8 million on making mice transgender.

“Here’s the important thing about this: the fact that President Trump got this wrong isn’t what bothers me… What’s worrisome about it is that nobody around the president would dare tell him that transgenic is not transgender,” he explained. “It makes you think that if Trump came down one day and his fly was open, Republicans wouldn’t tell him. They’d just start showing up with their flies open.”
