Bill Maher gave a full ‘book report’ on his meeting with President Trump at the White House. Maher said Trump showed he and Kid Rock the room where Bill Clinton had his affair with Monica Lewinsky.
“As you know, 12 days ago I had dinner with President Trump, a dinner that was set up by my friend Kid Rock. Because we share a belief: That there’s gotta be something better than hurling insults from 3000 miles away.”
“He laughs, including at himself. It’s not fake. Believe me as a comedian I know a fake laugh when I hear one. I thank you for them.”
“I’ve had so many conversations with prominent people who were much less connected. People who don’t look you in the eye, people who don’t really listen. None of that with him.”
Maher says he was completely wrong about Trump, says he felt way more comfortable with Trump than he would have with Clinton or Obama.
The reflection after 8 years of railing on the president comes after Maher visited the White House.
“He’s much more self-aware than he lets on in public… I’m just taking as a positive that this person exists, because everything I’ve ever not liked about him was absent.”
“I never felt I had to walk on eggshells around him.”
“And honestly, I voted for Clinton and Obama, but I would never feel comfortable talking to them the way I was able to talk with Donald Trump.”
“That’s just how it went down. Make of it what you will. I feel it’s emblematic of why the Democrats are so unpopular these days.”
