Maher Apologizes To Trump
Liberal Host Stunned by Booming Markets Under Trump’s “America First” Trade Policy
(July 2025) – In a surprising moment of honesty, liberal talk show host Bill Maher is walking back his doomsday predictions about President Donald Trump’s trade policy—admitting that the economy is not only surviving, but thriving.
“I thought by the Fourth of July, we’d be in a full-blown recession,” Maher confessed during a recent episode of his Club Random podcast, where he interviewed progressive commentator Brian Tyler Cohen.
“That seemed like the logical outcome,” Maher admitted. “But that didn’t happen.”
President Trump, who returned to the White House in January, announced a bold new wave of reciprocal tariffs earlier this year—targeting foreign nations that have long exploited unfair trade deals. While critics in the media warned it would crash the U.S. economy, Maher now admits those fears were overblown.
“The stock market is hitting record highs,” Maher said. “And when I drive around, I don’t see a country in depression—I see people living their lives.”
Tariffs Take Effect August 1 – But No Economic Collapse in Sight
Trump’s new tariffs were first unveiled in April, followed by a 90-day pause to give key trading partners time to adjust. Now, the full “America First” tariff plan is set to take effect on August 1.
Despite harsh criticism from mainstream media outlets and Democrat politicians, the economy continues to show strong growth, especially in the manufacturing and energy sectors.
“I don’t know what Trump’s strategy is,” Maher said, chuckling. “But I was wrong. I thought the tariffs would wreck everything. They didn’t.”
Even Critics Are Forced to Admit the Obvious
Maher, known for mocking conservatives and ridiculing Trump for years, issued a rare moment of clarity:
“We have to deal with reality,” he said. “Not just say ‘I hate Trump’—because that’s not honest, and it leads us nowhere.”
BOTTOM LINE: America Is Stronger Than Ever Under Trump
While the Left continues to attack President Trump at every turn, even some of their most recognizable voices are admitting what millions of Americans already know—Trump’s economic policies are delivering results.
