Donald Trump threw a verbal punch at Fox News Saturday, calling the network that helped get him elected president “stupid” for booking liberal comedian Bill Maher, who said the network backed out of talks for him to appear on one of their shows when he balked at “only talking about the things we agree on.”Why Trump’s swipe at Maher? Well, apparently Maher’s remark that Ron DeSantis would make a better president than Donald Trump has gotten under the skin of the former POTUS… and the “Real Time” host is loving it.On Friday’s “Real Time With Bill Maher,” the host-comedian said that the Florida governor who has modeled his every move on Trump would be a better president than The Donald  because “he’s not certifiably insane.”“That’s a great one to start off with,” Maher told his audience. “You know what Ron DeSantis won’t be doing? He won’t be poop tweeting every day.

Bill Maher didn’t sidestep his thoughts about Donald Trump and his hope that another Republican would come to the forefront before the 2024 presidential election, going as far as saying that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis would be better than Trump because “he’s not an insane person.”On Friday night’s “Real Time With Bill Maher,” the comedian-host jumped right in on what everyone interested in politics is talking about these days, and that’s the House January 6 committee hearings, which seem to be focusing on Trump’s involvement in the insurrection.“First of all, I actually have no issue with Trump being prosecuted, and I have a lot of issue with elites being left unaccountable for the crimes that they commit, number one. Number two, that’s not going to solve our problem,” guest panelist and podcast host Krystal Ball said.
