‘Real Time’ host Bill Maher predicts a race war if Donald Trump goes to jail after his conviction.
Last night on HBO‘s Real Time with Bill Maher, the host reacted to Donald Trump‘s guilty verdict in his criminal hush money trial, predicting an all-out race war if the former president goes to jail.
Just this Thursday, a New York jury found Trump guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records. His sentencing is scheduled for July 11, although his lawyers are expected to appeal the decision.
In typical fashion, Maher first joked about the news before getting a bit more serious. “Yeah, he’s pretty distraught and pissed off these days,” he noted. “But I gotta say, Don, if there was a silver line to this, you finally did something that made Stormy [Daniels] come.”
He added, “You know what they say: don’t do the porn star if you can’t do the time.”
Speaking on the appeal, Maher said, “Their big talking point today is, ‘If they do it to me, this could happen to anyone.’ Yes, of course. I’ll have to remember that next time I’m cheating on my third wife with a porn star to pay her off when I’m running for president.”
He then noted how Trump supporters have been reacting to the ruling. “Did you see when he walked out of the trial after the verdict? They’re all out there singing, ‘For he’s a jolly good felon / for he’s a jolly good felon,’” Maher quipped.
