Maher on Trump's first 100 days: A 's‑‑‑show'

Comedian and commentator Bill Maher knocked President Trump over his first 100 days in office, painting his administration as chaotic and unproductive.

"In a word: s‑‑‑show," Maher wrote in a blurb for The Free Press summarizing the first 100 days of Trump's second term. "I said after he won the election, I’m not going to pre-hate anything. But after 100 days, there are probably 100 things to legitimately hate."

Maher mentioned Trump "disappearing people" as part of his immigration agenda, "the inefficiency of DOGE, ignoring the Supreme Court, killing people overseas with drastic aid cuts, firing the guy in charge of his election-integrity office because he won’t say 2020 was rigged, tariff-related market collapse" and other moves from recent weeks.

"America no longer being seen as a safe place, the third-term talk," the commentator continued, before knocking Trump for "suing the media" and quipping, "I could just keep going."

"And I want to emphasize: None of my disapproval for any of this comes from reflexive Republican opposition," he said. "On all these issues, it’s just objectively bad. And they know that, too."

Maher is a frequent critic of Trump, though he recently spoke about his experience meeting the president in person and having dinner with him, an episode the pundit said changed his perspective on Trump.

“I’m just taking as a positive that this person exists," Maher said of his meeting with the president. "Because everything I’ve ever not liked about him was, I swear to God, absent at least on this night with this guy.”
