Michael Bloomberg once said Brexit was “the stupidest thing any country has ever done”, until the U.S. “Trumped it”… The curious thing about outspoken doubters is not that they exist but that they have been so rare.

From Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO:

On Melania Trump’s visit to a detention center on the U.S.-Mexico border:

“They had a camera in there and all you heard was ‘Please help. I want to go home’ and finally one of the kids said ‘Pull yourself together lady.’”

On President Trump and separating children from parents on the U.S.-Mexico border:

“This is the week that we found out that there is a place most Republicans will not follow this president: kidnapping children.”

“He is the guy that congratulates himself for saving the toddler in the pool that he pushed in.”
