"What I'm gonna do is report exactly what happened. You decide what you think about it,"

Maher conceded the Trump he met on March 31 was different from the persona he sees on TV. But he also acknowledged, "It doesn't matter who he is at a private dinner with a comedian; it matters who he is on the world stage."

He later added, "Why can't we get the guy I met to be the public guy?"


Thanks to HighPlainsDem for the link in reply #10.

1 - I like getting information about the enemy. It's valuable to know Trump can play the normal guy in private.

2 - I appreciate unfiltered info like Maher was giving in his report.

3 - I'm not particularly happy that Maher normalized Trump.
