'Real Time' Panel Compares Trump to a Dictator, Suggests He Has Dementia

Friday's edition of Real Time With Bill Maher contained the usual amount of Anti-Trump venom one would come to expect from the HBO program. For starters, author Salman Rushdie compared America under President Trump to a third-world dictatorship: "I've spent a certain amount of my life in third-world countries, which have had military dictatorships and very corrupt civilian dictatorships...It's very depressing to see this country behaving like that." Host Bill Maher abruptly changed the topic, proceeding to peddle a conspiracy theory about President Trump suffering from dementia: "This week was quite a week for the dementia watch. I mean, the President could not pronounce the word origins. He could not name where his father was born. He thought his father was born in Germany. He said windmills cause cancer."
