Club Random with Bill Maher
Michael Franzese | Club Random

All right, well, let me ask you the difference. He came in as a wealthy guy. We're not counting his money, but we knew he was wealthy. What about Obama? He didn't come in wealthy. He didn't leave with that kind of wealth. He's worth, from what I'm hearing now, he's worth $100 million. I doubt if he's worth $100 million. That's what I heard. That's what I heard. That's what Trump says. Yeah.

I'm not saying he's not entitled to it after all, but I'm saying he became a very wealthy guy. Okay, well, you tend to get famous when you're the first black president of the United States. It's kind of a big accomplishment. So, you know, did he, does he get a speaking fee? Probably gets half a million or even a million dollars speaking fee. Yeah. Okay. So, but he didn't go in it for the money.

He wasn't. We don't know that, Bill. I mean. Oh, for fuck's sake. We don't know that. Really? I mean, honestly, that wasn't the only reason he wanted to be wealthy. He wanted to be president. We get that. But I'm sure he thought about. you know, what it was going to do for him financially too. Why not? Okay. I just don't think that was Barack Obama's motivation.

I think it's something that comes along with getting to that. If you were at that level of success in any field, yeah, you would have some financial remuneration. I mean, it's peanuts compared to what some of the, again, what Trump is doing, that the kind of money he is making from, just basically selling the job. I mean, he was, for example, very much against TikTok. Let's get rid of TikTok.

Until the TikTok guy came in and said he would give a big contribution to his campaign. Then he was all for TikTok. He's very transactional. He doesn't even make a secret of it. He doesn't understand how government works. He still runs it like it's a business. In some ways, that might be advantageous. In the long run, I don't think it is.

What do you think of his last, the first two weeks in office? What do you think? There are some things, well, I said before he took office, I would not pre-hate anything.

And now that he's in there, there's some things I hate and there's some things I don't hate. You know, it's a breath of fresh air as far as like we're going to look at things in a way we've never looked at it before. Like maybe Gaza doesn't have to be this utter hellhole.
