‘I F*cking LOVE That!’ Bill Maher Gushes About Trump ‘Moments’ That ‘No Other Politician Can Do’

Comic, pundit, and podcast host Bill Maher told NewsNation host Chris Cuomo that while there’s plenty about President Donald Trump that he “hates,” there are moments that he “fucking loves!”

Cuomo was the guest on this week’s edition of Maher’s Club Random Podcast, during which Trump was a frequent topic of conversation..

Maher — a frequent critic of Trump who nevertheless agreed to meet the president at the White House recently — told Cuomo of several moments he said show Trump’s unique ability to “lean in” to who he is. One of them was Trump’s infamous “Abdul” story:

CHRIS CUOMO: I’ll tell you, it’s the only time I’ve seen him booed. He was on stage with Bill O’Reilly and they were doing something like this, and O’ Reilly out of nowhere. You know, cause he’s pretty deferential to Trump. I don’t care what he said.

But he looks at him and he says, “Let’s just get this out of the way. You were vaccinated, right?”.

And Trump says, “yeah.”.

Boo! “And you got the booster. I know you did cause I got it too because of our age.”.

“Yes, I did.”.

Boo.

And he turns and he says “Don’t you boo me. And they keep booing And he says, I’m all you got. Don’t you boo me. I’m all you’ve got.”.

And they settled down. And it was a really interesting moment. Really interesting.

BILL MAHER: I mean, Trump is one of the most effective politicians, whatever you think of the policy and him as a person, just as a politician, just understanding that always lean in to being more who you are.

The people are not savvy about issues, but they smell a phony a mile away. And that kind of shit, nobody else does it.

You know, there’s a couple of times when… I mean, look, I’ve been his biggest critic for good reason. And when he got reelected, I said, I’m not going to pre-hate anything. And then the first week I said “Well, there’s lots of things I hate,” because I do.

Okay, there are some things I don’t hate also, but the way he can do that and sometimes kind of make me go, “Oh man, I got to give it up!”.

Like when he… did that thing where the guy came in from the Taliban and he said, “This is an aerial picture of your house. If during a withdrawal, one American is hurt, just know I know where you live.”.

I was like, oh, can we just play the music now? Because I don’t care, it’s Donald Trump and he’s the worst person ever, blah, blah blah. I fucking love that!

One time they were doing something, something was going on and he said, “You know what? When you come after New York. You gotta go through me.”.

It’s like, oh, hometown boy, you know, he has those moments that no other politician has and the Democrats have to find that guy.
