“Let me first say that to all of the individuals who handled this prefer it was some type of summit assembly, ‘You are ridiculous. Like I used to be going to signal a treaty or one thing? I’ve no energy. I am a fucking comic,” shared HBO’s Actual Time with Bill Maher host Bill Maher on his late-night present, providing his e book report on how his Child Rock-arranged assembly with POtuS Donald Trump at The White Home went. This is identical Maher who will get paid a complete lot of cash by Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav to be greater than only a “fucking comic,” somebody who has sufficient “energy” to attract in a ton of viewers each week. Put a pin in that as a result of we’ll come again to that.
“The man I met shouldn’t be the man who, the night time earlier than the dinner, shit-tweeted a bunch of nasty crap about how this dinner was a foul thought and what a deranged asshole I used to be. Only for starters, he laughs. I’ve by no means seen him chortle in public. However he does, together with at himself. He is not faux,” Maher continued, calling somebody “not faux” although solely seconds earlier than he supplied an instance of how “faux” Trump is – both when he was hate-tweeting or taking part in nice-nice with Maher.
“Look, I get it. It does not matter who he’s at a non-public dinner with a comic. It issues who he’s on the world stage. I am simply taking it as a optimistic that this individual exists. As a result of every little thing I’ve ever not favored about him was — I swear to God — absent, not less than on this night time with this man.” Maher added. “A loopy individual does not reside within the White Home. An individual who performs a loopy individual on TV so much lives there, which I do know is fucked up. It is simply not as fucked up as I believed it was.”

Have been we shocked to get the report card from Maher that we did? Nope. The bar that was set was so low that – brief of him actually throwing his personal poop at everybody else in The Oval Workplace – there was no manner that Trump wasn’t going to clear it. I imply, Child Rock‘s integrity was on the road right here, folks! So, it was a win for Trump as a result of it made him look good, and it was a win for Maher as a result of he can maintain selling himself as a “centrist” whereas ensuring he is nonetheless getting the invitations to the events on either side of the aisle. However was Maher’s go to additionally half of an even bigger play on Zaslav’s half to play good with the Trump Administration?
A profile of Zaslav by Michael Wolff for New York journal claims that the multimedia firm confirmed {that a} WBD consultant reached out just lately “to the Trump orbit looking for recommendation about how the corporate would possibly advantageously work together with the White Home and enhance its Trump-age odor.” Some of the responses included presumably giving Donald Trump Jr. “a looking and fishing present on the Discovery Channel” and CNN internet hosting “extra pro-Trump voices” – with Amazon bigwig Jeff Bezos‘s latest $40M funding in a documentary about Melania Trump.

“Michael Wolff is a mendacity sack of shit and has been confirmed to be a fraud. He routinely fabricates tales originating from his sick and warped creativeness, solely potential as a result of he has a extreme and debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his peanut-sized mind,” responded Steven Cheung, White Home Communications Director, when requested for a touch upon the reporting by The Hollywood Reporter.
