Bill Maher doesn’t think Donald Trump will receive an October surprise, and even if it did, he doesn’t feel it would impact the Republican candidate’s campaign.

Last night on HBO‘s Real Time with Bill Maher, the comedian dedicated his “New Rule” segment to the topic of an “October surprise” ahead of the 2024 presidential election next month.

Maher argued that even if there is an October surprise coming, it won’t “save us from a second Trump term.”

“He’s banged a pornstar and attempted a coup, he steals from charities. If you’re waiting for an October surprise to knock him out, dream on. There are better odds of another Joker musical,” said Maher, following the poor reception of Joker: Folie à Deux starring Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix.

“Trump said last week that really doing the Purge, like in the movie, might be a good crime-fighting technique,” he added. “He’s the only candidate where the voters hope he doesn’t keep his campaign promises.”

Maher then spoke directly to Democrats, saying “We’ve gotten so used to thinking there’s always an October surprise coming, that when it doesn’t happen, it actually seems weird… like a party at Diddy’s house where you just dance.

“The Access Hollywood tape in 2016 was a classic October surprise, and many people thought it was one that would work, as grabbing p—y is generally frowned upon,” Maher continued. “Including by James Comey, who was so disgusted by it, he reopened an investigation into Hillary a few weeks later.”

Then taking the stance that Trump could commit the most heinous of crimes “and it wouldn’t move the needle at all,” Maher said, “Trump’s superpower as a candidate is that he’s been so constantly and ubiquitously awful for so long, that it’s simply no longer seen, the way that you wouldn’t notice a new face tattoo on Post Malone.”

Kamala Harris will participate in a CNN town hall on October 23, broadcast live from Pennsylvania (a critical swing state).

Trump has declined to participate in another presidential debate, declaring “THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE.” He also hasn’t said yes to a CNN town hall, instead agreeing to a pre-taped Fox News town hall focused on issues affecting women, which aired Wednesday.
