Liberal firebrand Bill Maher just did the unthinkable – he praised Donald Trump’s political instincts. The Real Time host, who has spent years roasting the former president, admitted Trump might be one of the most effective politicians alive today.
Maher’s Jaw-Dropping Admission About Trump
During a recent appearance on Chris Cuomo’s Club Random podcast, Maher dropped a bombshell:
“Trump is one of the most effective politicians,” Maher said. “Whatever you think of the policy and him as a person… just as a politician.”
For a comedian who built his career mocking Trump, this was like hearing a vegan praise a steakhouse.
Two Trump Moments That Won Over Maher
Maher pointed to two specific instances where even he had to respect Trump’s political theater:
- The Taliban Threat
When Trump showed Taliban leaders satellite images of their homes and warned: “If one American is hurt, just know I know where you live.”
Maher’s reaction? “I f**ing love that!”* - Defending New York
Trump once snarled: “When you come after New York, you got to go through me.”
Maher, a New Yorker himself, couldn’t help but smile: “Hometown boy.”
Maher Brutally Roasts Democrats
The comedian didn’t hold back on his own party’s failures:
“The Democrats have to find that guy,” Maher said. “But they’ve been searching for years and they’re still coming up empty.”
He mocked their obsession with messaging:
“They always say, ‘They didn’t hear our message.’ Yeah, they heard it – and they hate it.”
Trump’s Secret Weapon? He’s “Daddy”
Maher argued Trump’s appeal isn’t about policy – it’s about raw, unfiltered dominance:
“This guy just voices his interior monologue,” Maher said. “And voters eat it up.”
Then came the line that broke the internet:
“He is daddy. People want a daddy. And Democrats keep putting up Tims.”
Inside Maher’s Secret Trump Meeting
The real shocker? Maher recently met with Trump at the White House alongside Kid Rock. The trio reportedly bonded over “ending wokeness and securing the border.”
While Maher teased he’ll reveal more details April 11, one thing’s clear: after years of mocking Trump, even this liberal icon can’t deny the man’s political genius.
“He has that thing,” Maher admitted. “And no one else has it.”
The question now: Will Democrats finally listen?
