Bill Maher declares “hero” to stand up against Trump at the White House meeting
The liberal comedian made a review earlier this month, looking back at his meeting with Trump at the White House in a monologue on the HBO show “Real Time.”
Maher described Trump as “graceful and measured,” suggesting that the president is a different person from what appears on camera.
“I didn’t feel like I had to walk on the eggshells around him,” Maher told the audience. “And honestly, I voted for Clinton and Obama, but I never feel comfortable talking to them in a way that allows me to talk to Donald Trump.

On his Sunday show, Maher vowed that he was not shaken by his principles and opposition to the president’s agenda.

“I didn’t give him an inch of what I believe in. “But I told him the truth about how he’s different in his private life.”
