Is Trump racist? Bill Maher and Stephen A. Smith have a SHOCKING answer



The left has labeled Donald Trump as a racist for years — but even some liberals are realizing that couldn’t be further from the truth.

“You know, what I think black people think about Trump, like, is he a racist? Yeah, but they think every white person is kind of a racist. And do they think that white people behind closed doors talk like Trump?” Bill Maher asked Stephen A. Smith on an episode of “Club Random.”

“That last part right there,” Smith responded excitedly. “Being a black man, you don’t look at white people and automatically think they’re racist. You automatically know they’re different than you, that they think different than you, that they come from a different cultural background and experience things differently.”

“So that second part is very, very important because when you talk about how Trump talks,” Smith continued, “We’re going like this, ‘So that’s the first time he talked like that, when he became president.’”


“We know better than that. We know that ain’t the first time, and we know that the people that he was friends with all of these years, he talked just like that around y’all. Y’all didn’t have no problem with it, don’t act like you have a problem,” he added.

Smith even went as far to admit that he and Trump “were friendly right before he ran for president.”

“If we’re being totally honest, all the brothers found him to be cool,” he added.

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” already knew this about Trump and isn’t impressed that Maher is flipping his position.

“They’re having their little struggle session over whether Donald Trump is racist or not, and then suddenly, Bill Maher is now saying he’s not racist. Like, Bill, love you, but I have no doubt if we did a little bit of research, we could probably find 50 videos of you relating him to Hitler or Nazis or white supremacists,” Rubin says.

‘All The Brothers Found Him To Be Cool’: Bill Maher, Stephen A. Smith Dump Cold Water On Trump Being ‘Terrible Racist’

BRUTAL: Bill Maher just likened his fellow Democrats to 'retarded' children born of 'incest'



Even though Bill Maher was never cured from his Trump derangement syndrome and ended up voting for Kamala Harris, he is still calling the left out on its nonsense.

Dave Rubin plays the clip of Maher brutally roasting his fellow Democrats for their response to Trump’s victory.

Displaying images of “The View” and MSNBC panels, Maher said, “Someone must tell the usual suspects on the far left that the saying is 'when you're in a hole, stop digging,' not 'keep digging.'”

“The one concession I've heard a few people on the losing side offer [is] that liberals should stop saying the Trump voters are stupid comes with a kind of unspoken parenthesis — we know they are stupid; just don't say it,” Maher said.

“Yeah, I got bad news for you. They don't have a monopoly on stupid. You wear 'Queers for Palestine' T-shirts and masks two years after the pandemic ended, and you can't define woman, I mean person who menstruates. You're the teachers' union education party, and you've turned schools and colleges into a joke. You just lost a crazy contest to an actual crazy person,” he added.

“There's a lot to not like already about the new regime, but maybe take one week to ask what you did wrong.”

Then Maher turned up the heat even more.

“Democrats have become like a royal family that because of so much incest has unfortunately had children who are retarded,” he lambasted, pointing to the way the party claims to believe in science and yet called the COVID lab-leak theory “racist.”

“The same thing can happen to ideas if they are also conceived in an atmosphere of intellectual incest. Maybe take the clothespins off your noses and actually converse with the other half of the country. Stop screaming at people to get with the program and instead make a program worth getting with,” he continued, pointing out that “too woke” should be “a cancellable offense.”

Dave still has hope that Maher is “gonna get there” because at least he “cares about truth.”

Bill Maher stuns ‘Real Time’ crowd: ‘You’re not going to drag me into Trump derangement syndrome’



Trump derangement syndrome is alive and well among liberals, but Bill Maher is refusing to let the ailment get the best of him, as it has so many others.

In a recent segment on “Real Time with Bill Maher,” he made this incredibly clear.

“He called for a military tribunal against her,” panelist John Heilemann said of Trump’s recent comments about Liz Cheney. “He might not do it, but you don’t want to normalize the notion that that’s the kind of language that we want to have.”

“This is the problem with, I’m sorry, the far left, is that you’re not going to drag me into Trump derangement syndrome. It’s not deranged to be upset and worried about the real things. Like, he could be a fascist,” Maher responded.


“But if you’re going to think I’m going to chase every rabbit down the hole for the next four years, you’re wrong. I’m not going to,” he continued. “I did this once; I’m not going to do it again.”

“That’s who he is. If he talks about Arnold Palmer’s **** or he says a bad word or says something that everybody thinks like ‘There are s***hole countries,' I’m not going to lose my s*** about it. I’m just not, ‘cause that is deranged,” he added.

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” is impressed to say the least.

“Who knows where Bill will end up years from now? Maybe he never gets where we all would want him to be electorally, and okay, so be it, but he’s saying it,” Rubin says.

“He’s saying, ‘I will not behave the way I behaved last time,’ which was, ‘I was going to hate him and undermine him no matter what,’” he adds.

Bill Maher mocked claims that Biden would back out — will he ever admit he was wrong?



Months before Joe Biden stepped out of the presidential race, Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” predicted that would be the exact outcome.

Bill Maher, despite claiming he likes Rubin, did not agree in the slightest.

“This is a done deal,” Maher told Jillian Michaels in an interview on “Club Random with Bill Maher.” “There’s no serious people running against him and now the primary season is underway.”

“The rumors that even Dave Rubin and Megyn Kelly are talking about, that when they get to the Democratic convention, he’s going to quietly be like, ‘Oh you know what, not going to do it,’ and then somebody will slot themselves in,” Michaels argued back.


“This is pure conjecture. This is just people making s*** up,” Maher responded, while Michaels continued arguing that “respectable people in the news are suggesting it’s a possibility.”

“I like both Megyn and Dave, they’re respectable,” Maher said. “These two have a lot of looney ideas also, right-wing looney ideas.”

“This is something just something they pulled out of their a**, and it’s not going to happen,” he added.

The old clip has Rubin understandably amused, as shortly after Biden quietly dropped out of the 2024 election.

“Pulled it out of my a** man,” Rubin laughs.

‘Don’t Lie’: Bill Maher Rips Media For Claiming Trump Wanted Liz Cheney In Front Of ‘Firing Squad’

'This is exactly what hippies always said'

'Just don't lie to me': Bill Maher blasts media's 'firing squad' hoax, warns Biden's 'garbage' gaffe will hurt Democrats



Bill Maher delved into the hot-button election topics of President Joe Biden's "garbage" comment, comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's joke about Puerto Rico, and the legacy media's deception about former President Donald Trump's chickenhawk remarks regarding Liz Cheney.

On Friday's episode of "Real Time with Bill Maher," the liberal talk show host defended Hinchcliffe following the controversy over the insult comic's joke that Puerto Rico is a “floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean,” delivered during Trump's recent rally at Madison Square Garden.

'Just don't lie to me. I don't like Donald Trump. Don't lie to me and tell me he wants her in front of a firing squad.'

Maher began, "Well, it was insulting. But look, I have to defend my profession. I’m a comic; I’m a free speech [supporter]. ... But this guy’s an insult comic. Why he’s at this particular [event], it’s like bringing cocaine to a funeral.”

During his discussion with guests Tim Miller from the Bulwark and "The Fifth Column" podcast co-host Michael Moynihan, Maher asked, "Did the Democrats look weak because they can't take a joke? Because I think that's another Achilles' heel that they have."

“What the Trump people did at this rally — it’s so Trump — they hired an insult comic,” Maher stated. “Really, he went up there and did very insulting things. I’d never heard of him, but this is his act he does all the time. And he told a really demeaning joke about Puerto Rico. ... It didn’t even go over with the Trump crowd. They said, ‘Look, we didn’t come here to hear vicious remarks from an insult comic. We came here to hear it from the candidate.'”

Maher claimed that Republicans would have had a much different reaction if he attempted a similar joke.

“They are just as big snowflakes, they are. Because if I did that joke in reverse and instead of Puerto Rico said Staten Island, they would have had a s**t fit," Maher contended. "They would have found that completely unacceptable."

As Blaze News previously reported, Hinchcliffe has refused to bend the knee for his joke despite the overwhelming fury about the quip.

Maher slammed President Biden for calling Trump supporters "garbage" and compared him to New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge who dropped an easy fly ball in the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

"I think it's a bigger gaffe than people think," Maher said. "It's so funny, Joe Biden, his whole career, he was like Mr. Gaffe, and then here at the very end — he's like Aaron Judge in Game 6. He just f***ing muffed the fly ball and at the end of the thing and blew the whole [game]."

Maher declared Biden's insult to be far worse than Hillary Clinton's disastrous 2016 smear of Trump supporters as "deplorables."

"Because I feel like it epitomizes everything that the Trump people hate about the Democrats. They look down at us. It's like ‘deplorables’ times ten," Maher noted.

Moynihan added that former President Barack Obama proclaimed that rural working-class Americans are "bitter" people who "cling to guns or religion" while on the campaign trail in 2008.

He then mocked the media for attempting to cover for Biden by asserting there was an apostrophe that they claimed altered the sitting president's comment.

Moynihan said Trump voters feel like: "The media hates you. The elites hate you. They think that you're garbage."

He added that "any sort of hint of that" is not a "net positive for Democrats."

Miller chimed in by saying that "having the elderly president give a marble-mouthed answer" was "dumb" but didn't think it would hurt the Kamala Harris campaign significantly.

Maher blasted Biden over his inability to "shut the f*** up."

"In fairness, he was on a video call, and he thought he was just yelling at the TV," Maher joked.

Also during this week's "Real Time with Bill Maher," the HBO host skewered the media for intentionally misrepresenting Trump's recent comments about Liz Cheney.

"I woke up today to the headline that Trump had called for a firing squad for Liz Cheney," Maher stated. "And this is what I really don't like about the media — no, he didn't. You don't have to move me to not like Donald Trump more than I already [don't]."

Maher continued, "He's criticizing her for being a war hawk. I mean, she is Dick Cheney's daughter."

Maher read Trump's actual quote, "She’s a radical war hawk. Let's put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? Let's see how she feels about it. You know, they're all war hawks when they're sitting in Washington in the nice buildings saying, ‘Oh gee, well, let’s send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy.'"

Maher compared Trump to anti-war hippies.

Maher noted, "Just to be clear, this is exactly what hippies always said. This is exactly what peaceniks always said. This is ‘Fortunate Son’ the song. It's like, you know what? It's very easy to sit in your building and send young men to die."

He declared, "Just don't lie to me. I don't like Donald Trump. Don't lie to me and tell me he wants her in front of a firing squad. He was saying something that, by the way, if it came out of the mouth, some of it, not the stupid part, again, sounds like what hippies used to say about not sending people to [war]."

Moynihan pointed out that Trump did say Cheney would be given a weapon, "which is not typically something you do to have someone executed."

Even Trump adversary Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) reprimanded the media's deceptive coverage as "ridiculous, absurd and counterproductive."

Cheney – the former Republican representative from Wyoming – has been a vocal supporter of Vice President Kamala Harris on the campaign trail.

Watch Van Jones tell Bill Maher why Trump is wrong to fight crime



One thing the left is really good at is misinterpreting something Trump said or did and using that twisted lie to bolster their "Trump is racist, sexist, fascist, etc." narrative.

For example, CNN’s Van Jones took a section of Trump’s Agenda 47 that laid out plans to combat the rampant crime the Biden administration has allowed to escalate and turned it into Trump is “locking up all the black men.”

Dave Rubin plays the clip of Jones explaining why fighting crime is wrong to Bill Maher.

“This is what’s on his website. He says he’s going to ‘require local law enforcement to do stop and frisk,’ which 80% goes against black people,” Jones began, reading from Agenda 47.

“He says he’s going to ‘instruct the DOJ to dismantle every street gang’ — in other words, the feds are going to be in your neighborhood trying to figure out which one of your kids should go to federal prison.”

“He says he’s going to ‘indemnify all cops,’ so you can't sue cops basically,” Jones continued, adding, “Black men are about to get conned.”

“The best con artist in the world is going to tell black men, ‘I'm going to lift you up.’ In fact, he's going to lock you up. He's going to lock you up for the stuff that Kamala Harris is trying to decriminalize,” he ranted.

Dave points out some irony in Jones’ words.

“Van, why do you think that all black men are in street gangs?” he asks rhetorically.

Further, “They don’t do these things to lawful people,” he says. “Now, that doesn’t mean that there can’t be a bad cop that might do a stop and frisk unfairly or unjustly — and that should be dealt with.”

“What Donald Trump is talking about there is that in cities — like in the city [Van Jones and Bill Maher] shot that very video right there, Los Angeles — the mayor of L.A. is no longer doing proper policing. You can trespass and jump over people's fences and set up a tent and they won't do anything; you can smoke crack outside of city hall,” says Dave.

As for Jones’ insinuation that Donald Trump is racist against black men, it’s easily debunked considering “Trump literally had lowest all-time black unemployment.”
