Bill Maher Tears Into Donald Trump’s Post-Shooting God Complex
Six days after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, the famous atheist Bill Maher is already sick of the latest wave of religious fervor around him.
“Since the bullet that was meant for Donald Trump missed him last Saturday, Republicans have been indulging in an orgy of magical thinking,” Maher said in his “New Rules” segment Friday. He referenced a post from right-wing YouTuber Jake Paul referring to Trump as “one of God’s angels,” along with a picture shared by Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar which depicted God guiding the bullet away from the former president.
Maher added: “Steve Scalise said, ‘Yesterday there were miracles, and I think the hand of God was there too.’ Steve was also shot, but God was having an off day.”
