Bill Maher slammed Joe Biden’s performance in the debate with Trump, joking that he’s “seen pageant contestants give better answers to questions” than the president.
The comedian delved into the president’s disastrous debate in his opening monologue for his Max show Real Time on Friday.
New polls showed even fewer voters believe Biden is mentally up to the task of being president for another four years after struggling to get through debate night.
Maher has frequently criticized Biden’s re-election chances, often citing his age as the biggest problem.
“I don’t want to say he’s been in bed, but his new name in the Secret Service is Amber Heard,” Maher said.

He referred to Johnny Depp’s testimony in which he claimed that his ex-wife had defecated in their bed with them Los Angeles penthouse after an argument the night before her 30th birthday in February 2016.
“Did you guys watch the debate? If you missed it, don’t worry, one of the participants did,” Maher said.
“I mean Trump told lie after lie after lie. He would never have gotten away with that if Joe Biden was there.
“You know, Joe, he likes trains, but apparently he doesn’t like thinking.”
Earlier in June, Maher declared that Biden’s new immigration policies would cost him the presidency after he issued an executive action limiting the number of migrants who can arrive at the border and seek asylum to 2,500 per day.
Maher said, “If Biden loses this election, it will be because of two things: he’s old… and immigration.
New polls show even fewer voters believe Biden is mentally capable of serving another four years as president after he struggled to get through debate night.
“I mean, just on a political level, I don’t think they could have done a worse job.”
Biden tried to manage the fallout from his dismal debate performance at a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Friday.
“I know I’m not a young man. To state the obvious,” the president said, standing next to First Lady Jill Biden, who wore a Christian Siriano dress emblazoned with the word “vote.”
“But I know what I know, I know how to tell the truth. I know right from wrong. And I know how to do this job. I know how to get things done,” the president argued.
He then promised the audience that he was still the ideal candidate for the nomination.
“I give you my word as Biden. I wouldn’t run again if I didn’t believe with all my heart and soul that I could do this job.”
Biden sought to clarify many of the arguments he tried to make against his Republican opponent on the debate stage.
“I don’t know what you did last night, but I stood on a stage for 90 minutes debating a man who has the morals of an alley cat,” Biden said.
“Did you see Trump last night? “I think he has set a new record – and I mean this sincerely – for the number of lies told in one debate,” the president continued.
At the end of his speech, Biden suggested the rally performance was the beginning of his post-debate redemption arc.
“I know what millions of Americans know: When you get knocked down, you get back up.”
Trump told a crowd of supporters at a rally in Virginia on Friday that Biden had “no idea what he was doing” during the debate.
‘He got the debate rules he wanted, he got the date he wanted, on the network he wanted to be with the [moderators] he wanted.
“No amount of rest or rigging could defend his atrocious record.”
