Maher pointed out that while he has always been one of Trump’s biggest critics, at some point, he thought “oh, I have to give up” and praised him.
Maher concluded: “When that guy came in from the Taliban, he did that thing and he said, ‘This is an aerial picture of your house, if someone injured during our evacuation gets hurt, I know I know where you live.” I’m like “Oh, can we play music now?” Because I don’t care.’ This is Donald Trump and he’s the worst person ever, “Wait wait, I love that.”
Maher quotes another anecdote during the 2016 Republican primary Senator Ted CruzR-Texas mocked Trump for having “New York values”, and Trump replied: “When you want to knock on New York, you have to go through me.”
