'It's Not Deranged To Fear This': Bill Maher Calls 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' Bunk
HuffPost
The "Real Time" host defended concerns about Donald Trump amid a discussion of some staggering remarks the Republican has made.
“Real Time” host Bill Maher says “it’s not deranged” to fear former President Donald Trump.
On Friday’s episode of Maher’s HBO show, guest Joe Scarborough reviewed some of the distressing comments Trump has made as he seeks to retake the White House.
“Donald Trump said that he was going to use the military and the National Guard to arrest his political opponents,” the MSNBC anchor said, referring to Trump’s recent suggestions for dealing with “radical-left lunatics” on Election Day.
“He talked about [California Democratic Rep.] Nancy Pelosi being ‘evil,’ her husband being ‘evil,’” Scarborough added. He also noted that during Trump’s presidency, the Republican reportedly complained that his generals fell short of Adolf Hitler’s in terms of their loyalty.
Scarborough added that some people dismiss concerns about Trump, spurring Maher to decry the use of a term sometimes applied to the former president’s more vocal detractors.
