Bill Maher Criticizes Democrats for Boosting Trump's Popularity

The comedian claims Democratic missteps have contributed to Trump being perceived as 'cool' during his second term as president.

Bill Maher argued on 'Real Time' that Democrats' actions have inadvertently made President Trump appear 'cool' to the public.
Maher highlighted support for Trump from rappers, athletes, and performers like the Village People, who participated in his inaugural events.
Democratic strategist James Carville suggested Democrats should let Trump 'punch himself out' rather than focusing too heavily on countering him.
Maher and ESPN's Stephen A. Smith criticized Democrats for prioritizing niche cultural issues over broader concerns, which they claim alienated voters.
Rep. Ro Khanna countered Maher’s points, emphasizing Trump's long-standing celebrity status but questioned the need for a 'celebrity president.'
