Overview

  • Bill Maher, traditionally a vocal critic of Donald Trump, described him as 'one of the most effective politicians' on his Club Random podcast with Chris Cuomo.
  • The remarks followed Maher’s attendance at a White House dinner, arranged by Kid Rock, where he and Trump discussed shared interests and political topics.
  • Maher pointed to Trump’s unorthodox tactics, such as reportedly threatening a Taliban leader with an aerial photo, as examples of his political instinct and effectiveness.
  • He emphasized Trump's ability to connect with voters on a 'primal level,' contrasting it with the Democratic Party's struggle to find a charismatic, 'alpha' leader.
  • Maher plans to further discuss his evolving perspective on Trump and the White House dinner on the April 11 episode of Real Time.
