Maher used to be a staple of the Democrat media machine. But he’s breaking the mold.
And now Bill Maher demolished Democrats after they utterly embarrassed themselves.
Bill Maher Torches Media Hysteria Over Trump’s White House Ballroom
HBO host Bill Maher eviscerated cable-news outrage over President Trump’s East Wing demolition and ballroom construction Friday night, telling viewers the White House is “just a building” and America shouldn’t be hosting state dinners in tents like a “third-world country.”
“I Don’t Give a S**t”: Maher Sides with Trump on Long-Overdue Upgrade
Appearing on “Real Time” with Bill O’Reilly and Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL), Maher mocked the initial media framing that painted the project as presidential vandalism.
“The ballroom, I don’t give a s**t,” Maher said.
“I was reading — it shows you how the media is. Everything is always on one side or the other. When [Trump] first mentioned it, it was all about, ‘Oh, my God, he’s desecrating the White House.’ Then I finally read, ‘Oh, well, they’ve done s**t to the White House before.’”
Maher pointed out the current absurdity of U.S. statecraft: “I realized after reading other people, we don’t have a place when they have state dinners. They’re doing it in a tent! This is America! So do I give a s**t that he’s doing this to the White House? I really don’t.”

Permit-Free Envy: Maher Jokes About Trump Skipping Red Tape
The comedian, who once waited three years for Los Angeles bureaucrats to approve solar panels, admitted being genuinely impressed by Trump’s ability to bypass the regulatory gauntlet that plagues ordinary citizens.
“Presidents have changed the White House in little ways before, but you know they always got approval from Congress,” Maher said.
“As a constitutionalist, I must say I find this appalling. As the guy who took 3 years to get my f***ing solar panels in — I’m kind of jealous. I’m kind of in awe because I live in LA where you need 13 permits to put a bird feeder on your deck.”
The White House also confirmed the Lincoln Bathroom received its first overhaul since the 1940s, part of a broader modernization push under the second Trump administration.
