'Ranting lunatic' Trump has 'mental gaffes of his own': Bob Costas to Bill Maher
Donald Trump is a "ranting lunatic" who has "mental gaffes of his own," sports commentator Bob Costas said on Real Time with Bill Maher Friday.
Costas, who in 2022 gave a scathing takedown of Trump's decision to host a Saudi golf tournament, appeared on Maher's show and was asked about the recent developments in Joe Biden's documents probe.
Specifically, the CNN commentator was asked about the special counsel report that cast Biden as an elderly man with severe memory problems keeping him from being tried in court.

Costas said the GOP will "overstate" Biden's issues, but added that the current president should have given another Dem a chance to run in 2024.
Republicans "will overstate it" and "turn a blind eye to the fact that Trump, who has always been an unprincipled and reprehensible person, is now a ranting lunatic who has mental gaffes of his own," Costas said.
He then added, "That doesn't mean it isn't True. When it comes to Biden... this is emperor's new clothes stuff."
"Joe Biden should have run on a firm promise that he would be a one-term president," he said, adding that it would open up the field to fellow Democratic challengers.
