Bill Maher Says Another Trump Term Shouldn’t Be Surprising Because “When Does America Ever Turn Down Seconds?”

As a seasoned gamer who’s witnessed countless political dramas unfold like levels in a game of strategy, I find myself both amused and disheartened by the 2024 election results. Bill Maher‘s opening monologue on Real Time echoes my sentiments about the sun continuing to shine despite the political chaos – it seems that the world keeps spinning, regardless of who’s in power.

Bill Maher and Michael Douglas are now sharing their opinions about the unexpected outcome of the 2024 election, where Donald Trump emerged victorious over Kamala Harris.

Bill Maher began the most recent episode of his show, Real Time with Bill Maher, by delivering his opening remarks. He said, “Many people are worried right now, but guess what? I opened a window today and the sun was still shining, birds were still chirping, my gardener is preparing for a trip to Mexico – that’s the reality.

As a gamer speaking, here’s my take: “I didn’t cast my vote for the victor, but now that they’ve won, let’s see their actions. They’ve got the responsibility to face the real world now. Will they stick to their promises? Trump claims he intends to deport 12 million people. How does one round up that many individuals and send them back to Mexico? And just today, Trump said, ‘I’m always a step ahead. Why do you think I left those gaps in the wall?’

The comedian remarked, “For several months, Democrats kept asking, ‘How could this be so close?’ Their doubt was justified because it indeed wasn’t. They found it hard to imagine a second term for Trump, but they should have. After all, when has America ever refused a second helping?

Later on, Maher introduced his initial interviewee, Douglas, who voiced his dissatisfaction with the results of the presidential vote yet also highlighted a heartening experience he encountered recently amidst the turmoil.

Another point I feel compelled to discuss after Tuesday night: I’m absolutely fuming about this tight contest. I had expected it to be so narrow, given all the surveys… but it turned into a landslide victory instead. I couldn’t imagine such an outcome. So, on Wednesday morning, I decided to play golf to calm my thoughts. To my surprise, I managed a hole-in-one during that round.

In another part of their discussion, the actor mentioned inflation and the demise of the middle class to Maher, saying, “It’s astonishing now that we can label Republicans as a party for the common folk, while Democrats are seen as an elite group. This is quite remarkable.

This year, Douglas took on the role of Benjamin Franklin in the Apple TV+ miniseries titled “Franklin”. Additionally, he was involved in producing and featuring in the documentary named “America’s Burning”, where it delves into the deep-rooted economic disparities within our nation.

In the recent installment of Real Time, it was John Heilemann and Sarah Isgur who graced the screen alongside the host.
