Maher Gets Trump "All In" Treatment


Comedian Bill Maher dined with President Trump in late March at the White House and shared his experience on his show, "Real Time with Bill Maher."  

Trump needed someone to say he is a real person, even likable after upending the global economy (like an infantile deity throwing blocks around).  Maher called Trump gracious and inquisitive.  

Donald J. Trump is an entertainer and can put on the charm when it behooves him.  Flashback to June 2024 when candidate Trump courted the Silicon Valley's gang of four, the "All In Podcast." 
 

Three of the four hosts are immigrants and yet to be deported.  Trump picked JD Vance as his running mate based on advice from the TechGods.  The message was Donald's not deranged, even likeable.

Similarly, Maher noted:
“A crazy person doesn’t live in the White House. A person who plays a crazy person on TV a lot lives there, which I know is fucked up. It’s just not as fucked up as I thought it was.”

What if it's the opposite, the "crazy person on TV a lot" played a sane person for a few hours for entertainment purposes?

Everybody likes Trump, admit it!  Sure, Donald is familiar, like Archie Bunker was familiar.  Every person raised in a dysfunctional household can wear Trump like a wool sweater in Death Valley in late July.  It makes you sweat, itch and generally uncomfortable.   You can't wait to remove it, for it to go away. 

Right off Maher showed Trump that he was not usurpable by having Donald sign a list of insults he'd leveled at Bill Maher over the years.  Now that we've acknowledged both of us have "said things" about the other, let's dine.  

Trump knows how to host.  That skill is second only to firing people and he has that covered with Musk's AI employee eliminator.  He gave entertainer Bill Maher a "nice dinner and quality time" and in return the comedian made room for Trump's humanity after he'd done the inhumane (upended the global economy) after the inhumane (stealing from the poor to give to the rich).

Trump's laugh may not have been fake but nearly everything else may have been.  Especially as The Trump Store in Trump Tower is full of goods, none made in America.  My wise friend wrote:

If he believed in his MAGA storyLINE just on principle he would not have a store selling FOREIGN manufactured goods. 
The whole charade is about him creating Leverage for himself using the consumer and our military as his strong arm for payment. The wannabe gangster never had the muscle to engage in extortion, his gig has always been fraud, deception, bankruptcy , DEBT, and cooking the books.
This Apple exemption and other high tech basically weakens his whole premise. So he created all this chaos for whom? So he could say he saved the bond market after breaking it? Narcissism at its best.
"Make America Great Again" by selling MAGA merch made in a foreign country.  Bill Maher may want to check the label of his Trump merch from the White House "blowjob office."

Update 4-13-25:  The Trump TechGod alliance is far more than installing Vance as VP, it intends to usurp everything.

Update 4-14-25:   Trump's byzantine tariff plan/non-plan shocked the economic world into shambles, after which Trump said "I know what I'm doing" when he clearly does not.  Even The Apprentice staff had to reverse engineer Donald's inaccurate decisions.
