Bill Maher just called Trump a “badass”—and his explanation may surprise you. In this clip, Maher discusses falling crime rates, Trump’s approach to crime and immigration, surveillance, the social safety net, deportations, and the idea that a tougher presidential posture could be sending a message to criminals. But does Trump’s aggressive style actually have an effect on crime? And can you acknowledge results while still disagreeing with the methods?
Maher makes a surprising case for why Trump may be influencing public safety while also criticizing some of his immigration policies. Is this an unexpected shift in the political debate? Watch the clip and hear his argument.
