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.

(2,286 posts)Trump always stirs up some crap before his stupid show comes back on. He thinks it helps the ratings.

(12,081 posts)The man will do absolutely anything to get his name in the media and what do people do? they put his name in the media. It's exactly what he wants.

(7,886 posts)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.

A beautiful rant on Donald orangutan-orange-hair Trump.
pipi_k
(21,020 posts)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.

Sorry, you four time bankrupt failure, Bill wins.

You go Bill
sendero
(28,552 posts).... arrogant prick, but you have to admit he is funny and he is also right except when he veers into economic libertarianism.
Check out his documentary on religion, Religulous - a hoot.

(3,502 posts)He gets on my nerves, but he's very funny and often right. I think it's the libertarian side that really annoys me.

(11,833 posts)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.

Remind me never to piss Bill Maher off.

(3,073 posts)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.
KharmaTrain
(31,706 posts)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"...

(24,026 posts)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.
AtheistCrusader
(33,982 posts)He is from the school of thought that any publicity is good publicity. He lives off his ridiculous, over the top, somewhat unhinged image.

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.
