“Real Time” host Bill Maher seemed surprised by his admission that President Donald Trump is now considered “cool.”
“Here’s how bad Democrats F – Ed Up: Trump is cool now,” Maher said during a panel discussion Friday night.
“He’s not just the most powerful guy in the world and he just made himself the richest, he’s actually kind of [cool] in 78! “
“I mean, rappers like him, athletes are doing—” Maher continued as he gestured to Trump’s iconic dance.
“I was making fun of him, J—getting away from two boys at once, and now he owns it. And now they’re doing it!”
“I mean, the country people are gay for Trump now!” he added.
Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., responded by pointing out how Trump had “always been a celebrity,” pointing to his influence as host of “The Apprentice” and his countless film and TV appearances.
“He was a joke!” Maher pushed back.
ESPN host Stephen A. Smith suggested that Democrats are to blame for making Trump a celebrity, insisting liberal A-listers “all loved him until he ran for office.”
“You know what would be good in this place?” Should we have the famous president? Khanna complained.
“I mean, it’s about coolness? What if you’re cool because the president is actually about helping people? “
“That horse has left the barn,” Maher replied.
Earlier in the conversation, Maher and Smith urged Democrats to move so far, allowing Trump to run for a second term.
“The man was accused twice. He was convicted of 34 felony counts, and the American people still said that’s closer to normal than what we see on the left,” Smith said.
“Exactly,” agreed Maher. “
“Why?” Smith continued.
“Because something about when you talk about the transgender community, for example, you talk about issues that affect less than 1% of the population, the Democratic Party came across as if that was a priority over issues of others.”
