"BILL MAHER: Well, I don't know, he's apparently going to the, Trump is the correspondent's dinner this year. I would, I'm very interested to see what this is going to look like, because you know, the correspondents dinner, I think I did it one year."
"They always, I say, just get a magician. Just get somebody who doesn't do political. They're always trying to get the political, and it's like the worst thing."
"Now they got a mentalist. So they can have a mental and a mental patient there. No, I kid. I joke with the president, but you know, the president traditionally, I mean, this is why Trump, a lot of people say this is he ran for president in the first place because he was at the one where Obama just tore him a new a**hole from the podium."
"And now he's going to get a chance to say all sorts of insulting things to the press, just like any one of his press conferences, so it's not really that different."
Bill Maher anticipates that President Donald Trump will use the White House Correspondents' Dinner to attack the press, similar to his previous behavior. Maher reflects on the challenges comedians face at the event, noting the divided political audience. He humorously suggests that a magician would be a better choice for entertainment than a political comedian. Maher recalls how Trump's presidential run was partly motivated by his experience at a previous dinner where Barack Obama publicly criticized him.
