It was a shock, I must say.
Asked by Maher if celebrities speaking out against Trump actually hurt their intended cause, Fonda said no.
I have been told I should shut up because Im a celebrity.
But what celebrities can do is bring attention to things that wouldnt normally get attention.
Before interviewing Fonda, Maher opened the firstReal Timeepisode of 2017 by discussing Trumps inauguration.
We Americans have a new leader: Vladimir Putin.
But also this guy Trump took some sort of oath today, he joked.
The Trump supporters are saying this is a reckoning.
As in, I reckon were all fed.
Of Trumps inauguration speech, Maher said it was joyless and ugly and divisive.
All the pundits before he was going on were saying its going to be classy and uplifting and unifying.
At what point are people going to realize there is no normal president inside the Trump fat suit?
Thats who it is, Maher said.
