question everything

I have to agree with Bill Maher that he is one of the most effective politician [View all]

He decided what he wanted to do, including pathetic revenge and he accomplishes everything. He control all three branches of government and no one is acting or even saying anything.

Bill Maher is standing by his past criticisms of President Donald Trump while admitting he doesn't "hate" him.

Speaking with NewsNation personality Chris Cuomo on Sunday's episode of the Club Random podcast, Maher said that though he has not been a fan of some of Trump's comments and actions, he believes "Trump is one of the most effective politicians."

"Whatever you think of the policy and him as a person, just as a politician, (Trump is) understanding that (you) always lean into being more of who you are," Maher told Cuomo. "The people are not savvy about issues but they smell a phony a mile away. And that kind of (stuff), nobody else does it."
