Bill Maher launched a scathing attack on President Donald Trump, calling his rollback of climate regulations the "biggest dick move in American history." The comedian's remarks came after the Trump administration rescinded a 2009 EPA declaration that greenhouse gases pose a danger to public health.

The February 12 move eliminates all greenhouse gas emissions standards for vehicles and could trigger broader repeals affecting power plants and oil and gas facilities. EPA Director Lee Zeldin called it the "single largest deregulatory action in American history." Trump has long dismissed climate change as a hoax, claiming scientists are "stupid people" and that greenhouse gas concerns lack factual basis.

Maher mocked the president's stance, comparing it to cryptocurrency schemes invented "out of nothing to get rich." The late-night host's criticism follows Trump's September 2025 UN speech labeling climate change "the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world." The EPA's regulatory reversal represents a dramatic shift from the agency's previous position on carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases as public health threats.
