“Game 5 is tomorrow night, and Trump is not going. He went to Game 3, and they lost,” Maher said.
He went on, “The Knicks had a 13-game winning streak in the playoffs. That’s almost unheard of. Then he went, they lost. I’m not saying he made them lose. I am saying I’m offering a million dollars not to go to this game.”
Maher, who is originally from New York and is a Knicks fan, quickly clarified that he was joking, so as not to open himself up to another lawsuit from the president.

“That’s a joke by the way,” Maher said. “Please, that is a joke, because last time I offered money like that, I got sued.”
Maher was referring to a lawsuit Trump filed against him in 2013, where Maher jokingly said he’d give $5 million to charity if Trump could prove that his father was not an orangutan.
