Bill Maher says that breaking the bread with President Trump makes him a
Bill Maher really believes that he is the United States Knight in the bright armor.
The comedian could not resist caressing his own ego as he talked about his so debated visit to the White House during the Episode on Thursday of the podcast “2 Men Angry Men” of TMZ.
“It should be a hero to go there and do those things and tell those things to the president. I am not the villain here,” said Maher, who has milked until the last attention he can receive from his dinner with President Donald Trump, singer Kid Rock and the president of the UFC, Dana White, at the end of last month.
Clearly triggered by the criticisms he received for his cozy summary of the meeting, the “real time” leader complained that he was not receiving enough credit to come to the table with the Republican without compromising his strong centrist values.
“I had the opportunity to go to the White House and talk to the president and not give up my principles,” Harvey Levin and Mark Geragos told the hosts, and everyone else listening. “It seems that nobody realized that. I did not go to Maga.”
“I had the opportunity to talk to Donald Trump and tell him things that he may never listen,” Maher continued to justify. “Literally to tell the truth to power. Shouldn’t that opportunity take advantage of?”
The “politically incorrect” star was forced to admit that his brave effort was probably impact on the president, who has been putting the Maga seal in everything he can since he assumed that a position less than three months ago.

“Do I have great hopes that saying something changes something?
During his appearance in the podcast, Maher seemed to welcome the idea of celebrating the court with an autocrat, commenting: “Are we little by little, we are becoming a monarchy much more, but you don’t want to talk to the king? Don’t you even want to talk to him? Is that going to fix something?”
Maher, who has enjoyed Trump’s rib and his policy for decades, has faced a significant reaction for calling the president a “friendly and measured” host.

The Washington Post columnist, Josh Rogin, labeled Maher “an accessory on a public relations trick”, while the journalist turned into the podcaster Keith Olbermann accused him of “prostituting himself” with the visit.
Somehow, the blatantly arrogant Maher seemed to be one of the few people to put things in context.
At the top of his Friday monologue in “real time,” he said, “to all the people who treated this as if it were a kind of summit meeting, you are ridiculous. As if I were going to sign a treaty or something? I have no power. I am a fucking comedian.”
