Bill Maher trashed the president on his signature second-term policies following the news that the comedian’s chances of receiving a top award this year were nixed.

Maher eviscerated 79-year-old President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, his unpopular immigration tactics, and his ongoing military operation in Iran. The comedian, 70, said that the now-defunct DOGE, which was run by Trump frenemy Elon Musk, was a “huge disaster” on his show Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday.

The criticism of Trump’s presidency followed White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt calling multiple reports that Maher would receive the Mark Twain Prize from the Kennedy Center, “fake news,” earlier in the day.

“To me, DOGE was a huge disaster,” Maher said. “Again, like a lot of things with Trump, not a bad idea to get rid of the government waste, but it didn’t do that, and people died.”

DOGE quietly sunset last November, but not before Musk and his goons fired tens of thousands of federal employees. The department appeared to accomplish very little while simultaneously creating dire consequences for both U.S. citizens and the country’s humanitarian beneficiaries abroad.

DOGE had accidentally purged living people from Social Security databases and marked them as dead.

Additionally, it effectively shut down USAID, the federal agency responsible for promoting democracy, economic prosperity, and global health abroad. Hundreds of thousands of people who relied on USAID for medical care have died because of the defunding.

Similarly, Maher said Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s mission to “get rid of the criminals” was a “huge disaster.”

The Department of Homeland Security and ICE have come under fire over the past few months for their indiscriminate detainment of immigrants, inhumane treatment of them, and sometimes lethal tactics. Criticism toward Trump’s immigration crackdown came to a head after two U.S. citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, were killed by federal agents in the same month.

Still, Maher believes these controversies “went away quick.” However, with the president’s new war in Iran, the comedian said that he isn’t confident that Trump can come away unscathed from this latest foreign intervention.
