On Friday's Real Time on HBO, host Bill Maher joked about having a fantasy that an apparently unstoppable Donald Trump will unexpectedly drop dead on stage, and, moments later, joked about the possibility that discussing former Vice President Dick Cheney on his show might result in his death as he recalled the coincidental passing of Antonin Scalia and Nancy Reagan right after Maher had mentioned them on the air.

Maher Fantasizes Trump Dying on Stage, Jokes About Cheney Dying

The HBO comedian set up his Trump death fantasy by recalling that people often ask him if the GOP candidate could really be elected President: "Everyone comes up to me these days and says, 'Bill, could Trump really be President?' 'Yeah. F***, yeah.'"

He then brought up the movie War of the Worlds which features alien invaders that suddenly and unexpectedly die at the end:

Although, here's a little bit of hope, you know. I know, nothing ever seems to stop this guy no matter what you throw at him. You ever see the movie War of the Worlds, Tom Cruise movie, right? That gives me hope because, if you remember the movie, the space invaders are just totally kicking our ass. I mean, they got their tripods, they got the forcefields around them, nothing can stop them, and then they just die.

They just die. Nobody does anything. They just f***ing die. I mean, it's like they just got to page 100 in the script and went, "F*** it, they just die." Have Morgan Freeman come and do a voiceover. They get the flu or something.

Maher then added: "That's my fantasy. Trump will be up there one day: 'I am the greatest, ahhhh!'"

The HBO comedian dropped to the floor, causing audience laughter and applause, and then got back up and continued: "He just dies. That's it, all right, that's the fantasy."

Moments later, he brought up the recent deaths of Scalia and Nancy Reagan right after Maher had mentioned them on his show:

Something spooky is going on here at Real Time because, two weeks ago, I mentioned Antonin Scalia, and he died later on that night. And last week I mentioned Nancy Reagan, and she died the next day.

He then continued: "So this is a reminder, life is short, we all have to go sometime, and a quick story about Dick Cheney."

After audience laughter and applause, he added: "No, no, no, okay, all right, I know. I don't wish Dick Cheney dead, okay? I can't control that anyway. So don't write in."

[Kaslin]

Can you say pure evil and lunacy?

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

These leftists are sending clear signals as to what they will do if Trump keeps moving towards the nomination.

[FlingWingFlyer]

We all know Maher is a retard. Newsbusters shouldn’t rub it in.

[lee martell]

Yet, he remains on the air and out side of a jail cell.

[Calvin Locke]

Cue the Halloween party photo of a drunk Maher as Steve Irwin...

[RegulatorCountry]

Bill Maher, almost nonstop vile punctuated with occasional moments of near sanity. About the time I begin to think that there might be some hope for him, he reverts to form.

[Spok]

More unrestrained hate from the left, for which they are not held accountable.

[Jack Hammer]

The coterie of entertainers throughout history has always included The Fool - the sort of low humorist in multi-colored tights with bells in his hat who appeals to the mentally and intellectually challenged, or simply stands on his head and shakes his bum to get a chuckle.

Bill Maher is just such a character.

[heterosupremacist]

I wonder how many viewers does this jerk have? I would be disgusted if I searched the answer...

[Dilbert San Diego]

That little prick.....

Hilarious......make jokes about people dying....

Is Bill Maher willing to make jokes about Hillary dropping dead, or Obama, or Bernie Sanders, or any other liberals such as Ruth Bader Ginsburg??????

Didn’t think so.................

[Doogle]

Maher will soon pay......

[VanDeKoik]

And this homo has the nerve to complain about Islam? to moan about college kids trying to get his show shut down?

[tflabo]

Be careful what you wish upon others you smarmy lil joker.

[ProtectUS]

Maher Is sick. Why is he not arrested for threatening to kill Trump?

[USNBandit]

Somebody needs to point out to him that he is starting to sound like Beck.

[WKUHilltopper]

See how these totalitarians are running psy ops encouraging assassination? Put them all in GITMO. The way it looks, it’s gonna be vacant anyway.

[Trumpinator]

This shows me there is no alternative to Trump. Cruz is in league with people like Maher. He gives excuse and cover to professional leftists anti free speech mobs because that might help Cruz in an election.

[Kaslin]

His viewers are clearly ignorant. Who in their right mind would laugh at his stupid jokes?

[Kaslin]

He will eventually.

[bgill]

Keep it up, libs. You’re turning more people on to Trump.
