Bill Maher Just Humiliated Donald Trump Beyond Words

During his New Rules segment Bill discussed the lawsuit Trump filed against him. He started off by saying his lawyers told him not to say too much because they are too busy laughing their asses off. He then went on to show the actual letter Trump's lawyer sent to Bill.In the letter he address in all seriousness that Donald is in fact NOT the off spring to any apes.

Bill then brought up Trump's birth certificate and used Trump's own words against him claiming more or less he is still not satisfied Trump was not an off spring from Orangutans. He ridiculed Trump for A) Not knowing how to read a contract and B) Being too dumb to take a joke he told on a late night comedy talk show serious.

I'm sure Trump will explode and is writing a comeback now as we speak.

but these days not responding gives them far more time to drive their point home in their echo chamber. A good response can shut them down before they get a chance to get going.

but it does sort of look like orangutan hair.

One would think someone with as much money as Trump has would do better than look like the ass end of Clint Eastwood's "Every Which Way But Loose" co-star.

I hope Maher's lawyers requested sanctions against Trump & his attorney for filing a frivolous lawsuit. Abuse of the legal system should be punished. Even when it's done by an orangutang.

The letter from Trump's attorney was hysterical - absolutely priceless. Trump is a total asshole and deserves all the shit that comes his way- especially because he creates it all himself. Schmuck is too good of a word for him.

One DJ calls the other a "baboon" the other fires back and both stations ratings rise. Trump is a publicity hound and Mahrer's playing along...why he doubled down. I wouldn't be surprised if Bill and Don do bong hits. As the PR axiom goes..."say good, say bad...just say"...

Bill got one thing wrong though. Trump is not the love child of an orangutan. He's the hate child of a ORANGE-utan. Or maybe Maher is right after all. He uses the typical mispronunciation oranguTANG, and Trump is rather the color of that iconic NASA beverage.

He is from the school of thought that any publicity is good publicity. He lives off his ridiculous, over the top, somewhat unhinged image.

If he was, he would know that he's ALREADY FRIGGIN' LOST

Actually, it's probably just Trump the Arrogant who's unaware of the concept ... The lawyer, I'm sure, is quite aware of the concept, and has already informed his client thereof ... yet The Hairpiece, I'm certain, fancies himself 'above' such banalities, and demanded his lawyer press forth nonetheless ...

Thus, Counsel is pretty much laughing all the way to the bank, as the saying goes.

I can't blame him in the least, I'd do the same thing.
