On Friday’s episode of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher and former MSNBC host Chris Matthews discussed the 2024 Republican presidential race, highlighting former President Donald Trump’s blend of truth and falsehoods, while questioning President Joe Biden’s ability to keep pace.
Matthews commented on Trump, saying, “I’ve been watching the guy, he is so fast on the trigger. I watched him, he comes up with, well, he pulled out of Afghanistan in a disastrous way. That’s true. He didn’t fire anybody…or any of the generals. That’s all true. Then he’ll throw in, oh, by the way, illegal people can get Medicare and Social Security. No, they can’t. He just throws in the lies. He mixes up the lies with some truth. … Biden is not smart enough to keep up with him. He just can’t keep up with him.”
In another part of the segment, Maher remarked about Biden, “a lot of the things he did have helped this country.”
