It was a week full of news, from the looming Donald Trump indictment through the Nashville school shooting. Or as Bill Maher put it on Friday’s Real Time, “March came in like a lion, and went out with Trump on the lam.”
Maher was obviously delighted that Trump, one of his favorite targets, had a real bad week. He noted the irony of “the most boastful man in history is indicted by a man named Bragg.” Also ironic: “He spent his whole life stiffing people, and the one time he pays them….”
Maher was ready to spar Friday, and for once, he had panelists ready to push back. The show started with Republican Governor of New Hampshire Chris Sununu, who admitted that the Trump indictment is “an absolute circus.” Sununu, although a loyal Republican, voiced that he didn’t think Trump will be the GOP nominee in 2024, saying that he “can’t win” the general election.
However, he pushed back on Maher’s advocacy for downgrading Trump because of Jan. 6 and the Trump insistence that it wasn’t a fair election. Sununu agreed that Jan. 6 was one of the worst days in US history, but pointed out the ensuing Democrat failures including “losing energy independence”
Sununu noted that he lived in San Francisco for three years, and challenged Maher to defend the deterioration in that city. “You tell me the Democrats are winning (there),” he said, calling it “a humanitarian crisis.”
The guest did tiptoe around the possibility that he would enter the GOP presidential primaries, but wouldn’t commit until things play out more.
The panel discussion featured journalist and author James Kirchick, and Winsome Sears, the latter the first woman to serve as Lieutenant Governor of Virginia and first woman of color and Jamaican-born American to hold statewide

New polling from ABC News and Ipsos shows former president Donald Trump’s favorability ratings collapsing in the aftermath of his April 4 arraignment and indictment the week prior. Breaking down the numbers, which saw a four-point dip to 25% favorability, “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski said Tuesday that Trump is “dropping like a rock,” and Willie Geist said the number is so low that he’s “starting to dip into being a fringe political candidate.”“If his legal issues don’t take him off the ballot, maybe his poll numbers will,” Brzezinski quipped on her daily MSNBC program.
Katie Reul editor Premiering the night before Easter, the latest episode of “Saturday Night Live” opened with a serene image of the sketch show cast members sitting at a long table, perfectly costumed and positioned to parallel Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper.” But the tranquility was short-lived with the arrival of cast member James Austin Johnson, who took over the cold open by telling the story of Easter as a monologue delivered by Donald Trump. Last week’s episode also opened with a Trump spoof after the former president was indicted by a grand jury. On April 4, Trump pled not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records. His arrest and arraignment made him the first president in U.S. history to ever be charged with a crime after leaving office. And this milestone was also addressed with this week’s cold open.
