Bill Maher said President-elect Donald Trump just wants to “fuck with us” as he listed the people picked for Trump’s cabinet.

During a Sunday interview with Attn, the 60-year-old host of “Real Time with Bill Maher” talked about the president-elect’s current choices for his cabinet. (RELATED: Bill Maher Blames PC Culture For Rise Of Trump)

“Other presidents are not like this cat,” Maher said. “I mean, George Bush hated me and I didn’t like him, but no matter how bad they were — all the Republicans — it was like a glass bottom boat. I’m looking at those sharks, but they can’t really get me. And now, I feel like the shark can get me or anybody. We’re just in unchartered waters.” (RELATED: Michael Moore And Bill Maher Vow To Stop Trump [VIDEO])

“For people to say we don’t know what he is going to do, that is not quite true because we do know what he is going to do,” he added. “The appointments are from opposite land. For education, somebody who doesn’t believe in public education.”

“You know Ben Carson, for example, surgeon general, maybe because he was a surgeon,” he continued. “No, housing. Because what? He lives in a house? He’s just fucking with people.”

“Same thing with [Mitt] Romney,” Maher said. “Just wanted to fuck with him, just wants to fuck with us. People keep saying to me this is going to be great for you. If I am alive, if we are all here it’s going to be great for us.”

“Listen, how we are talking about the man who is going to be the leader of the free world, like a toddler,” Maher responded when asked about Trump’s Twitter usage. “The Twitter itself doesn’t matter. What matters is the instinct to always have to retaliate to anybody who opposes you, criticizes you, challenge you. His mentality is just always to go right at them. It’s just insane that he can’t let anything go.”
