Bill Maher, "Real Time" host, expressed concerns over former President Donald J. Trump's silence on President Joe Biden's first week in office.

During Friday night's show, Maher repeatedly expressed his concerns about the 'radio silence' from the former president since arriving at Mar-a-Lago on Jan. 20.

"Does that not alarm you a little?" Maher asked his audience. "It's like in 'Jaws' when the shark went out to sea for a little while. I think it will be back."

"Where is Trump?" Maher wondered. "It's like he's in the 'Where Are They Now?' bit. I am so shocked that this guy has been so quiet! Are you not?"

"I just don't trust that, you know? It's just so not like him! 'Radio silence' is just never a term I associated with Donald Trump," Maher continued. "He isn't exactly ... 'fading away gracefully.'"

Guest and CNN commentator, Van Jones, critiqued House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy's recent visit to Trump as a "kiss the ring," moment.

"He's not giving up control over the Republican Party," Jones said about Trump. "And I think that it's going to put a lot of pressure on Republicans who thought they were gonna be able to turn the page. But when Kevin McCarthy, who knows better, decides he's going to continue to allow Donald Trump to run the party into the ground, that's not good."

Donald Trump Jr., along with many supporters saw the positives in the meeting as a way to move forward and recognize the voice of the voters who have been largely devalued and lumped into a singular category of 'terror supporters'.

Where left leaning elites sense 'alarm', conservatives are  looking forward to retaking many of the Republican seats in 2022.
