>Maher predicted liberals on the left will be angry about meeting with Trump, but he didn’t care.
>”And there will be lots of people on the left who will be like, ‘How dare you talk to this man.’ It’s like f— you, I’m not playing this game that you mean girls play,” Maher said. “‘Oh, you know what? You can’t sit at my lunch table, because I’m just not talking to you.’ Not talking to you? You lost the election. Who the f— do you think you have to talk to?”
>Maher has slammed Trump’s policies and baseless statements for more than a decade on his HBO show — and was even sued by Trump in 2013 — but has also criticized fellow Democrats for their supposed tribalism and refusal to engage civilly with Republicans.

Game show idea:
You’re in the middle seat between Donald Trump and Bill Maher while a cab drives you around in Manhattan traffic, every hour you last without killing yourself a $1 million in prize money

Real “I can change him” energy from some high profile liberals, huh
Literally there is zero point in engaging with this dude. He is still going to try and fuck you over

I struggle to imagine how this meeting could be good, or bad for that matter. I hope they have a pleasant conversation, I guess.

This is certainly a big “who cares”, but on some level, there’s a lot of evidence that if Trump doesn’t view you as an opponent he may take some random shit you say about a subject he barely cares about as truth until he talks to someone else, so there’s some reason to think that if he talks more regularly to non-fascist assholes and non sycophants maybe he’ll get slightly less bad.
Probably not though.

Bill Maher was a big part of why my dad flipped from r to d so he has a legit audience. I am legitimately unsure what the outcome of this will be
