Bill Maher Eviscerates Donald Trump Over Greenland With Blunt Comparison

Bill Maher mocked Trump’s confusion of Greenland and Iceland and criticized the vague Greenland deal framework during his first monologue after a holiday break.

  • On the Friday, January 23 Real Time episode, Bill Maher, 70, targeted President Donald Trump’s Davos appearance and the gaffe of saying Iceland instead of Greenland in his first monologue after a break.
  • Following Maher's remarks, Trump said `We're gonna take it by force!` this week and later `No, actually we don't want to use force now`, with no details on a Greenland 'framework' or tariffs.
  • Using sharp humor, Maher likened the Greenland episode to a dog that vomits then eats it and mocked Fox News and Pete Hegseth with a crude line about yelling the wrong country while `f***ing` another.
  • Maher concluded that the promised gains in Greenland—bases and mining—were things `we had anyway` and suggested some remarks were passing `brain farts`, framing the episode as self-created political theater.
  • Airing in the show's weekly slot, Real Time With Bill Maher on January 23 framed Maher's critique as timely commentary on Trump's foreign-policy miscues this past week.
