“The Republicans are saying this is not ‘No Kings Day,’ they said this is ‘Hate America Day,’” he pointed out. “Yeah, liberals hate America? That’s what they think? ‘Yeah, if you won’t stop assembling freely and speaking freely, we’re gonna send our masked, unaccountable secret police to arrest you, as America should be!’”
Maher continued, “I mean, Trump does not like this, being called a king,” “He said, ‘I am not a king, and the next person who calls me one, they’re going to find their ass in the dungeon, let me tell you!’ He denied it. He said, ‘I am not a king, I have no intention of becoming a king. But if some country wants to donate a gold crown, I’m not gonna say no.’”
Additionally, the comedian addressed the recent indictments of several of Trump’s political opponents, including former FBI Director James Comey, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and John Bolton, Trump’s former national security advisor. Maher used pop superstar Swift, 35, to make a point about the president.
“Comey’s indicted. Letitia James: indicted. Now, John Bolton, his former national security advisor — who wrote a book about him, not a good idea — he’s indicted. Trump is going after everyone that ever pissed him off. He’s like an authoritarian Taylor Swift. It’s amazing.”
