2 Assholes,1 Cup: Bill Maher & John Fetterman Laugh at Trump's 'Quiet Piggy' Insult & Admire His 'Authenticity'

https://www.tvinsider.com/1263627/bill-maher-john-fetterman-laugh-at-trumps-quiet-piggy-insult-admire-his-authenticity/



Real Time host Bill Maher and Democratic Sen. John Fetterman enjoyed a good laugh on Monday’s (May 11) episode of the Club Random podcast as they discussed President Donald Trump‘s “refreshing honesty.”


Touching on Trump’s often blunt remarks and insults, Maher said it makes the president authentic. “The things that he says aloud, the way he just voices his interior monologue… There is something not exactly psychologically normal about someone who just vomits their interior monologue, but it gives him an authenticity with people that no one else can possibly match,” Maher said.

The HBO host brought up Trump’s recent interview with CBS News reporter Norah O’Donnell on 60 Minutes, in which the president called her a “disgrace” for reading from the alleged manifesto of Cole Allen, the suspect who stormed the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

"That pissed him off a lot,” Maher stated. “I could see both sides. As a reporter, it is news. Also, it’s giving access to the president from the terrorist.” "[Trump’s] reaction to her was, ‘You’re a terrible person,’ and he didn’t just think it like any politician. That’s exactly what they’re thinking. He just says it,” he continued. “It’s at the same time horrifying and also kind of refreshing. It’s shockingly honest.”

let us make one thing perfectly clear: Donald Trump is quite possibly the singular least authentic person in American public life. He is certainly on the short list for the title.

That they say the absolute opposite says much more about themselves than it says about him.

"He tells it like it is" is a commonly used statement referring to a person's "authenticity." We all know Trump to be one of the most prodigious liars and bullshitters but somehow he is "authentic" because he speaks his mind. So does the drunk at the end of the bar speak his mind- he just doesn't make any sense.

For the American people in life, laugh it up as public decorum goes into the shitter. What fuck faced assholes. They won't be missed.

I hope they like my authentic approach to laughing at them, not with them.
