Comedian and longtime Donald Trump critic Bill Maher credited the president as being “one of the most effective politicians” days after having dinner with the commander-in-chief at the White House.

Maher offered his rare praise for Trump’s authenticity on his popular “Club Random” podcast Sunday during a conversation with NewsNation journalist Chris Cuomo.

“Trump really … is one of the most effective politicians … whatever you think of the policy and him as a person,” the 69-year-old conceded.

“Just as a politician, just understanding that [you should] always lean in to being more who you are,” he continued.

Used to be a time when we would wonder what the hell was wrong with Ann Coulter for being in a relationship with Maher.

Now we wonder how Maher could have ever been good to go with Coulter.

“...[you should] always lean in to being more who you are,”

That’s a lot of words to say “Trump is authentic.” Which is one of the main reasons so many people love him. He’s not your typical mealy-mouthed, finger in the wind politician.

BTW - whatever happened to Ann Coulter? I’m not out looking for her, but she used to always be in our faces and appear everywhere in conservative / right-wing media. When she became anti-Trump, then she then appeared in Left-wing media.

Now she’s nowhere.

One of President Trump’s many gifts is he can talk to anybody and is comfortable in apparently any situation.....from garbage trucks to The McDs drive thru to hanging out in black barbershops.

Contrast that with taterhead and cackles having every single thing scripted right down to who gets to ask them questions and the liability is not even close.

Democrats in general are pretty nasty and unhappy people.....and Mahr is no different.....and we should never forget that.

President Trump learned that in the construction business. He would go to job sites and talk to everybody and connect with them at a very personal level. He was known for helping employees in need, too.

Maher may be a lot of things, but comedian is not one of them.

Maybe she is dating Crazy Liz.
Both of them ended their world in politics by listening to the wrong people.

Mahre’s show wasn’t on CNN last Saturday. Missed him. I gotta recommend it. I wouldn’t pay for HBO.

Calling Bill Maher a comedian is a stretch. He’s snarky comeback artist, rarely is he actually funny.

I have a relative who worked at the Playboy Mansion back in the day when Bill was there.

The girls at the mansion called him “little Bill”.

You get the point, a small point apparently in Bill’s case.
