Bill Maher Takes a Wait-and-See Approach to Incoming Trump Administration

The HBO host expresses skepticism but refrains from preemptive criticism, citing the need for government reform and disruption.

Bill Maher stated he will not 'pre-hate' President-elect Donald Trump's administration despite his personal reservations.
He acknowledged the need for disruption in government, criticizing bureaucratic inefficiency, regulatory overreach, and mounting national debt.
Maher expressed doubts about the effectiveness of the administration's 'disruptor' approach, noting potential pushback from powerful lobbying groups and industries.
He conceded Trump’s early stance on a negotiated settlement for the Russia-Ukraine war may prove accurate, as Ukraine faces increasing challenges in the conflict.
Maher showed openness to unconventional Cabinet picks, such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Health and Human Services, emphasizing the need for systemic change.
