22. It appears Bill learned a lesson
Sat Mar 7, 2026, 12:08 PM
Yesterday

He was scolding Dems for being so disgusted with Orange Mussolini that they were unwilling to work with him. Of course, some had tried in the past, but it never worked out well.

Bill insisted that you have to talk with Trump because, after all, he's the president of the United States.

So he goes off to dinner with him and comes away from it saying that Trump, as he suspected, wasn't really a monster. He's a character who puts on an act in front of the cameras, according to Maher.

And then after Bill makes fun of Trump, of course widdle baby Donny gets his fee fees hurt and he lambastes Maher repeatedly on social media.

So Bill found out that Trump will allow access to some people, but what is expected in return is unconditional loyalty. This comes as no surprise to most of us, but Maher has to eat crow on that front.
