Democrats across the country are melting down. They can’t bear another four years of Donald Trump.
And Trump just ended the career of this radical Leftist in humiliating fashion.
During a recent episode of Club Random, HBO Real Time host Bill Maher shared his growing frustration with the possibility of Donald Trump reclaiming the political spotlight.
Speaking with guest Jane Fonda, Maher suggested that Trump’s potential return to power could lead him to step away from both his long-running HBO talk show and his standup career.
“I’m sh*tting my pants. I mean, I may quit because I don’t want to do another,” Maher admitted while discussing Trump’s influence.
Reflecting on his past commentary about Trump, Maher pointed out his history of calling out Trump’s behavior long before it became mainstream.
“I did all the Trump stuff before anybody. I called him a con man before anyone, I did ‘he’s a mafia boss,’ I was the one who said he wasn’t going to concede the election, I’ve done it,” he said.
The conversation turned lively when Fonda interrupted to ask why Trump seems more hostile to comedian Jimmy Kimmel than to Maher. The HBO host, however, disagreed, asserting that Trump has targeted him on social media plenty of times.
“I’m bored with it,” Maher said as Fonda encouraged him to consider stepping away from his show.
“The show is the politics,” Maher said about his HBO platform. “There’s no other thing, and he’s going to dominate the news like he always does.”

Basically, another loser who hardly has viewers looking to end his show and blame Trump.

While Maher mused about leaving, he hinted at his upcoming HBO special, which he plans to film at the end of the year. “It’ll be my 13th for HBO. That’s a lot,” he remarked, leaving the possibility of a major career shift open-ended.
The conversation veered into other contentious territory when Maher criticized California for being overly regulated, a claim that shocked Fonda. She countered that such regulations are essential and dismissed Maher’s argument.
“You’ve never heard that California is over-taxed and over-regulated? That we are a one-party state where there’s sort of no checks on that sort of extreme leftism?” Maher asked, challenging Fonda’s perspective.
Unfazed, Fonda pushed back, insisting, “I don’t for a minute consider California a state that is extreme leftist. Not at all. Not in any way.”
Maher pointed out that such a statement reflected her political leanings. He argued that Trump’s rise was fueled by Americans who believed the left had gone too far. “They don’t really like him that much,” Maher said of the voters who cast their ballot for Trump for the first time this year. “They just think the far left has gone so nutty on so many issues.”
Fonda countered, “That’s what they’re being told. By people like you.”
Maher fired back, refusing to let the assertion go unchallenged. “Because it’s true,” he said, underscoring his belief that the left’s extremism has alienated many voters.
Whether Maher will follow through on his musings to step away remains to be seen, but his discontent with the idea that Donald Trump has another four years in the White House has clearly left him feeling despondent.
