If President Trump were a superhero, he would be known as “Orange Sphincter,” joked liberal political comedian Bill Maher in a segment that aired on his HBO show “Real Time” Friday night.
Maher began the segment saying “conservatives think Hollywood ruined America by promoting race-mixing, drugs, and twisted smut.” Rather, it ruined America by “making everything about superheroes,” he said, pointing to a glut in superhero movies and TV shows in recent years.
That took him to his own superhero creation: Orange Sphincter, sent from “Planet Asshole to save from mankind” and protected by his “his power smirk” and “golden helmet.
Orange Sphincter is aided by his “faithful allies Boy Wonder [House Speaker Paul Ryan] and Stingy Mutant Turtle [Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell],” and is also attended to by “Captain Buzzkill” [Vice President Mike Pence], who is a play off Batman’s butler, Alfred Pennyworth.
Maher said Orange Sphincter “never stops battling his arch nemesis Crooked Hillary and her vile sidekick Private Server.”
Orange Sphincter, Maher said, doesn’t concern himself with the “concerns of smaller men,” listing off “tax returns, fraternizing with the enemy, grabbing pussies, respecting facts, conflicts of interest.”
“So how does this superhero story end? What is the fate of Orange Sphincter?” Maher asked. “Well, this one is a little bit trickier because in this one the superhero is the villain, and that should make us all remember that in this fight for America we need to be our own superheroes.”
