Either he didn\u2019t have the knowledge, or he choked, because Gavin went on and on about how good California is doing, while it\u2019s doing very poorly, having, by far, the worst year it\u2019s ever had where, for the first time in History, more people are leaving than coming. Bill Maher started by saying that California was doing poorly, only to have Newscum speak for an extended period of time, and lie about the facts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll you have to do is look at what\u2019s happened to Los Angeles, San Francisco, the horrendous homeless problem all over every street, the Railway catastrophe that is Billions of Dollars over budget, and has never been built, the inability to rebuild the 25,000 homes that were destroyed by the fire because he refused to allow water into the street from the Southwest (If it weren\u2019t for our Superstar EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, and me, they wouldn\u2019t have any homes being built right now!),\u201d Trump continued.<\/p>\n<p>The president\u2019s conclusion was simple: \u201cFox should stop putting this person on. He\u2019s not representing us. You look weak, stupid, and ineffective, and I hate seeing that. DON\u2019T USE BILL MAHER ANY LONGER AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF YOU! I hate hearing that \u2018Bill Maher said \u2026\u2019 \u2014 Bill Maher is a MORON, though slightly more talented than Jimmy Kimmel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump has also been at war with Kimmel in recent weeks, calling on ABC to fire the late night comedian over a line directed at First Lady Melania Trump stating that she had \u201cthe glow of an expectant widow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cjoke\u201d angered the president and Melania, particularly since it came just 48 hours before yet another assassination attempt against Trump at the White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner \u2014 but Kimmel has insisted that it was only meant to be a jab at the dramatic age difference between the pair.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/trump-trashes-bill-maher-in-scathing-review-of-newsom-interview\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump tore into comedian and HBO host Bill Maher late on Saturday, delivering a blistering review of Maher\u2019s recent interview featuring Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA).
