flag Bill Maher mocked a fake Trump executive order to rewrite history, criticizing both sides for distorting the past.

flag Bill Maher mocked a fictional executive order attributed to President Trump that allegedly sought to rewrite history at federal sites, using satire to criticize efforts to alter historical narratives. flag He joked that Greenland attacked Pearl Harbor, Thomas Jefferson had relationships with enslaved people because "when you're a star, they let you do it," and JFK’s assassin was Lee Harvey Ortega. flag Maher argued that while history is often oversimplified, both political sides distort the past—left by ignoring achievements, right by erasing flaws—and warned that sanitizing history, regardless of motive, threatens truth and understanding.
