Bill Maher To Trump: “Your Wife Has Had More Work Done” Than U.S. Roads & Bridges

Daddy issues were front and center on tonights edition of Real Time with Bill Maher as HBOs Friday night franchise celebrated Fathers Day weekend by mocking the nations presidential papa as the antithesis of patriarchal integrity and parental responsibility. “Republicans really see Trump as a father figure,” Maher said with tongue firmly in cheek. “A strong-but-quiet, strict-but-fair man…who gets up in the morning, puts on two pounds of concealer, inflates his hair, and spends the day tweeting like a mean girl. Atticus Finch? Meet Fatticus Bitch.”

If that wasnt enough birdshot to kill a mockingbird, Maher fired off a few more Elmer Fudd-like salvos in the direction of the West Wing. On the Trumps failure to address a national infrastructure thats falling into disrepair, for instance, the comedian asked: “What kind of dad dosent take care of simple repairs? You know youre president whos let the place go when your wife has had more work done than roads and bridges.”

It was a strong night for Mahers comedic cage-match, which is a show that soars, sinks, or stinks depending on its guest list. Tonight the guest list was a good one and the result was one of the best wire-to-wire episodes of this 17th season. Comedian Martin Short, conservative columnist George Will, and former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, didnt share much common ground with their respective contributions to the dishy discourse but each of them brought out the best in Maher, a host whose comedy can sink into low blood-sugar mode when he doesnt have proper company.

Feckless Democrats and faithless Republicans were the topic focus for much of the show and, really, those are mighty big fish in junior-sized barrel at this moment in American history. And, showing fairness to fish and fowl, Maher gleefully unloaded in that direction as well.

On Democrats returning donations from compromised figures: “The Republicans take everybodys money. Steve Wynn was found out, he got Me Too-ed? Hey were keeping the money. Harvey Weinstein, [the Dems] eve the money back. Why? His money didnt rape anybody.”

On Democrats losing the fundraising fight: “The DNC took in $19 million so far this year. The RNC? $61 [million]. Trump has raised $30 million in the first quarter way before than any of the Democrats. This is anther way theyre going to shoot themselves in the foot.”

On MAGA-man Kanye West : “Of course he loves Trump. Hes a sucker for a giant ass.”

On Trump alienating neighboring nations: “Canada and Mexico, we used to get along great with them . Now they bring the kids inside when they see us coming.”

On the GOPs neglect of its traditional sense of responsibility: “Lets use Fathers Day to ask Republicans how they went from the Daddy Party to the Deadbeat Dad Party.'”

On the Florida man seeking a world record for multiple viewings of Marvel Studios Avengers: Endgame: “I do have a spoiler alert for you. You die alone.”
