Since that meeting, Maher noted there have been “no jokes about his weight, no jokes about his hair, his makeup,” etc. Maher made it clear that digs about First Lady Melania Trump were off the table, too.

Maher shared that his writers recently pitched a joke about the president’s hand, but he said that he shut the bit down. “I’m 70. That could be my hand tomorrow,” Maher stated. “So I’m not making fun of physical deformities and that stuff.”
