Bill Maher bored by claims Trump would rule as a dictator: ‘Wake me when he blows up the world’
NY Post
Comedian Bill Maher said during a recent interview the repeated warnings that presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump is going to be a dictator bored him.
“When people come up to me and say, ‘What are we going to do?’ I’m like, ‘It doesn’t look to me like the world is just falling apart. Maybe it will tomorrow,’” he told the New York Times’ Maureen Dowd in an interview.
“Look, I lost my nervous system under Trump once. I’m not doing it again. When he blows up the world, wake me. I can’t put my nervous system on the line every day for every stupid tweet and every bonehead thing he does.”
Democrats and some members of the media have repeatedly warned against a second Trump term and argued the former president will be a dictator if he’s elected.
Maher, a critic of both President Biden and Donald Trump, told Dowd that he has a “soft spot for this crazy, mixed-up country of ours.”
Maher also told Dowd that Americans needed to stop acting like the country was moving towards a civil war, adding, “We have to see each other not as mortal enemies,” but “merely as roommates from hell.”
