Welcome to an HBO podcast from the HBO late-night series Real Time with Bill Maugh.

Thank you very much. I don't know how the crowds do it. They stay in a good mood even as the country's falling apart.

I'm not going to start with this. There's a new poll out. I'm not making this up. They asked people the first word that came to their mind when they said Donald Trump, first three choices. Idiot.

Incompetent liar. Those are the first two. I'm not to tut my own horn, but the fourth word, orangutan.

Trump fired the FBI director James Comi, and his deputy secretary went out there and said, Comi had to go because he committed atrocities.

Oh yes, like fact-finding truth-telling. You know, atrocities. Comi apparently was asking for more money for the investigation and that's when he got fired.

It's kind of like breaking up with your girlfriend when she asked to move in. You know, I don't know.

And then just in case the Nixon comparisons weren't obvious enough, who does Trump have to the office yesterday, right after he fired Comi, Henry Kissinger?

Wow. Henry Kissinger. Agent Orange, meet President Orange.

And of course, to me the funniest part of the whole thing is Trump was shocked. Literally, I believe that. That people were upset about him firing Comi. He thought they'd love it. Nobody knew.

Nobody knew obstructing justice was so complicated. Okay, thank you very much.
