Bill Maher calls for interview with Trump
Bill Maher on Friday invited Donald Trump on his late-night HBO show after viciously attacking the president-elect throughout the campaign.
{mosads}”I want to take this opportunity right now to invite him on this show. Look, he won. He ran a vicious, vulgar campaign and I gave it back exactly in measure,” the comedian said on “Real Time With Bill Maher.”
“I was also vicious and vulgar but he won and he did it his way. Nobody gets to sing that song more than Donald Trump,” he added.
However, Maher did not hold back during the opening monologue, comparing the results of the presidential election to a “night after hard drinking.”
“The closest thing I can compare this to is, it’s like a night after hard drinking, you know, when you see who you’re waking up lying next to, and you’re like, ‘What have I done? Maybe if I pretend I’m asleep they’ll get their things and leave,’ ” said Maher.
“Can you imagine someone who has been in a coma for the last two years, just waking up? ‘Hey man, you know the guy from the Celebrity Apprentice? Yeah, he’s the president now. And the Cake Boss is Pope, and Bill Cosby’s the drug czar,’ ” he joked.
Trump has yet to publicly reply to Maher’s request.
