Bill Maher misses dictator Trump’s narrative: ‘It doesn’t seem to me like the world is falling apart’

Comedian Bill Maher said in a recent interview that repeated warnings that presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump is a dictator bother him.

“When people come to me and ask, ‘What are we going to do?’ I’m like, ‘It doesn’t seem like the world is falling apart. Maybe tomorrow it will,'” he told Maureen Dowd of the New York Times in an interview. “Look, I lost my nervous system under Trump once. I won’t do it again. When he blows up the world, wake me up. I can’t put my nervous system on the line every day for every stupid tweet and every silly.” thing he does.”

Democrats and some members of the media have repeatedly warned against a second Trump term and claimed the former president would be a dictator if elected.

Maher, a critic of both President Biden and Donald Trump, told Dowd he had a “soft spot for our crazy, mixed-up country.”

Maher also told Dowd that Americans need to stop acting like the country is headed for civil war, adding, “We need to think of ourselves not as mortal enemies” but “simply as roommates from hell.” “.

After Biden and Trump agreed on two debate dates, Maher said the president was only doing it because he was “losing.”
