Comedian and host of “Real Talk” on HBO, Bill Maher, totally roasted President Joe Biden following the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump on Saturday evening during a political rally in Pennsylvania. Maher stated that he believes after Trump not only survived the shooting, but got up and threw his fist in the air, the election is now all but over. And I agree. Trump will, almost without a single doubt, become the next commander-in-chief.
Maher, during a stand-up show that took place just a few hours after a gunman opened fire on the former president during a rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania, leaving him wounded in the ear, stated with more than a bit of lamentation, that every new development seemed to be going full-on in favor of Trump.
He then shared a video of his reaction to the shooting on social media with a caption that read, “The opening of my comedy show last night a few hours after the shooting if anyone wants to know my thoughts.”

Maher began by saying he would not use such a horrific event as a punchline to attack Trump.
Heck, that right there makes Maher a man of higher character than the vast majority of individuals who identify themselves liberals today. Just do a cursory glance of X and you’ll see what I mean.
“I unequivocally denounce [the shooting], I don’t care what you think about that. Not funny. I’m sure that there will be jokes that people will make because they hate him so much that they wished it went the other way. Not for me,” he said during the performance.
Maher went on to say that if photos were to decide the election, the image of Trump with his fist in the air — seconds after he was literally shot — would put an end to any contest.
“When I saw that photo today of him with the blood streaming down his face — I don’t want to say the election’s over but … Anything can happen in an election,” Maher explained. “Jesus Christ … MAGA nation finally has its full martyr. They loved it when he went to jail. The mug shot. I gotta say, he’s insane and a criminal. But that mug shot? F***ing nailed it.”
”And he [reacted to the shooting] like he rehearsed it! [Got it on] take one! There will be idiot conspiracy theorists who will say, ‘Oh they planned it.’ He gets grazed and the other guy gets [killed] — that’s so Trump,” Maher went on to say, saying that he believed Trump to be the luckiest man alive. “It’s going to work for him. I can see the memes now — ‘the man the libtards couldn’t kill.’ Biden can’t get through a debate and a bullet can’t stop Donald Trump. It almost doesn’t matter who the Democrats put up now.”
He basically nailed it. Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Well, I wouldn’t go that far. I probably could say it much better and with a more positive attitude. But yeah, he made a great point. No matter who they put up now, it’s not going to stop Trump from taking the White House. None of them have ever, literally, taken a bullet for their country. Trump has.
Game over.
