Friday night\u2019s final season edition of HBO\u2019s Real Time with Bill Maher<\/em> delivered a patronizing interview with Vice President JD Vance, but not before Maher first hammered President Donald Trump over his plummeting approval ratings and his Reflecting Pool debacle.<\/p>\n

\u201cFourth of July coming up, and you know what? Today it opened, Supergirl, perfect for the Fourth of the July. Yeah, big superhero, another superhero movie opened this week, but what\u2019s going on in Washington? Deadpool,\u201d said Maher, according to reporting by Mediaite.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, we\u2019ve killed the reflecting pool. I\u2019m tired of hearing about the god\u2014\u2014 reflecting pool,\u201d Maher added. \u201cI\u2019ve got to say. I don\u2019t really give a s\u2014\u2014 about the reflecting pool. And I love America, but I\u2019ve gotta admit, we\u2019re the only place you could make a pool improve by p\u2014\u2014 in it.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut you know, the problem is now, there are dead ducks in the pool, or possibly murdered by Antifa. I don\u2019t know,\u201d Maher then continued. \u201cBut you know the pool is dragging down the president\u2019s approval ratings. It\u2019s like a little in the low 30s now in the country and among independents, 25 percent\u2014and 0 percent with ducks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump is clearly growing sensitive over the state of the pool, which he forced taxpayer to pay $14 million in a no-bod contract to one of his connected flunkies.<\/p>\n

A Colorado-based storm chaser even got a visit by the FBI after cracking a joke about introducing algae spores into the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. <\/p>\n

“I am the leftist who put algae in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. This plan was months in the making. I introduced spores into the paint used by the contractors who repainted the pool. It was me the whole time,” said Patrick Pineda, in a since-deleted BlueSky post.<\/p>\n

Pineda said his joke was so scientifically absurd, he assumed his audience would be intelligent enough to know it was a joke. But this is Trump\u2019s FBI.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Trump\u2019s polling is still woefully cratered, and tearing down his party\u2019s chances in November as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cDemocrats have led the generic ballot in every single Strength In Numbers\/Verasight poll since we began fielding in May 2025,\u201d said pollster G. Elliot Morris. \u201cAcross 13 monthly polls (we skipped December 2025), Democrats have never trailed, with margins ranging from +5 to +10 points among registered voters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Just 25 percent of Americans approve of how Trump is handling prices, while 71 percent disapprove and 54 percent disapprove strongly, Morris added, creating a tough spot for Trump and the party.<\/p>\n
