Bill Maher goes off on Trump weeks after friendly dinner with prez at White House: 'Flirting with authoritarianism'
Briefly

Bill Maher delivered a scathing critique of President Trump on his show, labeling his behavior as 'flirting with authoritarianism' and expressing relief when Trump doesn't fulfill his campaign promises. Maher referenced a recent dinner with Trump, suggesting it showcased his ability to be fair-minded. However, he maintained that Trump jokes about dictatorship should not be taken lightly, arguing that such behavior poses a serious threat to democracy, as it can escalate from mere flirting to real actions that undermine governance.
Trump is the only president when you're relieved when he doesn't keep his campaign promises. That's the problem with dictator jokes. They don't stay jokes.
I'm telling you, humans cannot be trusted to just flirt with other attractive humans, and the MAGA crowd cannot be trusted to flirt with dictatorship.
