Bill Maher's 'Real Time' monologue this week took a bold turn, comparing Donald Trump to an authoritarian Taylor Swift. Maher praised Trump's role in the Israel-Hamas deal, but quickly shifted gears to criticize his retribution campaign and self-proclaimed 'No Kings' protests. He mocked Trump's claim of not being a monarch, drawing a parallel to Nixon's infamous enemies list. Maher's most controversial statement came when he likened Trump to an authoritarian Taylor Swift, highlighting his relentless pursuit of political enemies. The episode also featured a heated discussion between actor and former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Governor Gavin Newsom, with Schwarzenegger calling Newsom's Prop 50 measure a 'big scam'. Schwarzenegger warned voters against giving power back to politicians and advocated for the people's victory. The panel, which included Squawk Box host Andrew Ross Sorkin and billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban, offered a diverse perspective on political issues, with Maher's commentary sparking debate and discussion.
