Maher: It’s Like Trump Is ‘Aching to Be a Dictator’

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher argued that it seems President Trump is “aching to be a dictator.”

Maher cited Caesar crossing the Rubicon and Rome ceasing to be a republic and turning control over to the military. He continued, “I wouldn’t bring this up in America. Because we never had these issues before. But the toddler-in-chief seems to be constantly being babysat by generals. He’s constantly — he said just today, he was talking about, the FBI should go after this and I’m very frustrated — the Justice Department. That’s not what the president should do. It’s like he’s aching to be a dictator.”
