The host of “real time”, Bill Maher, said Thorsday that he should be considered as a “hero” of how he handled the White House with his political enemy, President Donald Trump.
Appearing in the podcast “2 angry men”, Maher was asked about the public response to his dinner with Trump last week.
“I’m not hitting, or in my program or when I was with him or later,” Maher told Podcast Harvey Levin and Mark Geragos presenters. “And I am proud to have been able to go to the White House and tell the president of the United States, look him in the eye and say: ‘You are scaring people. Doesn’t it bother you that you are so many of your own citizens?”

Maher went to the reaction he received from the left by his monologue recapitating his positive Trump meeting.
“I would tell you that”, instead of what? “I had the opportunity to go to the White House and talk to the president and not give up my principles.” I didn’t go to Maga. I had the opportunity to talk to Donald Trump and tell him things that he may never listen, literally to tell power. Shouldn’t you take that opportunity? “
“Then, he should be a hero to go there and do those things and tell those things to the president. I’m not the villain here,” Maher said. “I mean, there are two ways in which you can make the oval office: the way I honestly did it, or, like Gretchen Whitmer, who held a lot of folders in front of his face.”
“It should be a hero for one of the people who got into the inner sanctuary and could tell this person, who knows how much he does not come out of the cult, and says things and adhere to my weapons.”

Bill Maher reveals that Trump was “kind and measured” at the White House meeting, says he is not the man seen on television
Maher arrived at the headlines on Friday for calling Trump “kind and measured” at the meeting and suggesting that the Oval office man is not the man that the rest of the world sees on television.
“I never felt that I had to walk on egg shells around it,” Maher told his audience “in real time.” “And honestly, I voted for Clinton and Obama, but I would never feel comfortable talking to them in the way I could talk to Donald Trump. This is how it was put.
While the conservatives celebrated the visit of the White House of Maher, their comments were bothered by their comments, many accusing the host of HBO “falling into the trap” of the “public relations trick” of the president.
