In today's hyper-partisan political climate, there isn't much wiggle room for anyone to claim. You are either on one side or the other. However, there are a few exceptions, such as comedian Bill Maher, who are willing to put many of their political differences aside and have rational conversations with those they disagree with. Maher may have been one of the last people we might have thought of as willing to do that. But at the end of the day, even the most seemingly intellectually honest among us are on one side or the other.

On Monday, Fox News host and First Daughter-in-Law Lara Trump appeared with Bill Maher on his "Club Random" podcast. Maher has never been a fan of President Donald Trump, but he has also been a harsh critic of the Left over their pathological hatred of Trump. On Monday's podcast, the subject concerned the treatment Donald Trump and his family have received over the decade that Trump has been in politics, versus that of other presidents and their families. Maher floated the idea that Trump has been treated in roughly the same way other presidents have, and that it was only natural for the president to be scrutinized in such a way. But Lara Trump was not having it, stating, “[I]t’s not just that he’s the president, it’s that he’s Donald Trump as the president. I mean, they’ve gone after all of us in such an aggressive way.”

Then Maher, having to know it was a stupid question when he asked, said, “They didn’t go after [Barack] Obama and [Bill] Clinton in an aggressive way?” To which Trump replied that the treatment the family has received was, quite obviously, different. Maher brushed off the suggestion, saying, “Oh, please." Lara Trump proceeded to lay out just how different it has been.
Really? When did you see Obama and Clinton’s residences, personal private property, raided by the FBI? When did they have indictments against them to put them in jail for the rest of their life that everybody can agree were a little outrageous, Bill? Like, really?
When Maher couldn't answer that question, he launched into the claim that Trump asked Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find votes" after the 2020 election, as the reason that no one went after Bill Clinton or Barack Obama "for certain things." Lara Trump then brought up Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's report, outlining Obama's involvement in the Trump campaign and transition teams being spied on, and also being instrumental in the Russia collusion hoax. Maher did his best to imply that the allegations against Trump were all true, even when Lara Trump emphatically stated that none of them were.

Lara Trump: “He’s very proud to be in the White House, and he appreciates the history there and what it all means so much. I mean, he really does. For anyone who has any question whether he respects it… He… pic.twitter.com/aQrhnWrIgA
Lara Trump: "He respects it so much...for a guy who has Trump Tower, who has Mar-a-Lago, who has all these amazing properties around the world. He is still awestruck by the White House."
Bill Maher: "You can tell."
No one has a problem with Bill Maher asking Lara Trump tough questions. But it is not hard to find average Americans who will tell you that they have never witnessed the level of hatred toward a politician that the Left has toward Donald Trump, and the lengths that have been gone to to keep him out of the White House, and to destroy his family, his business, and put him in prison for life. Jonathan Alpert, a Manhattan psychotherapist, says he has seen a pattern of "Trump Derangement Syndrome" among patients in his practice, and calls it "a profound pathology." If there has been another president with a syndrome named after him, it is relatively unknown.

Bill Maher likes to smoke a joint while he records his podcast, but in his lucid moments, he has to know that two impeachments, four indictments, two assassination attempts, and millions of people who have lost friends and family members over their support for one man didn't used to be normal.
