In a recent discussion, Bill Maher criticized Democrats for contributing to Donald Trump's rise in popularity, suggesting that their intense scrutiny has inadvertently made him more appealing. Maher pointed out that while Trump was once a figure of ridicule, his persona has shifted to being regarded as 'cool' due to support from celebrities and his ability to embrace a playful image. He and Rep. Ro Khanna debated the implications of having a celebrity president, highlighting the need for leaders to focus on substantive issues rather than merely seeking popularity.
Trump is cool now, Maher declared. He's not just the most powerful guy in the world and just made himself like the richest, he's actually kind of [cool] at 78!
Do we have to have the celebrity president? Khanna asked. I mean, is it all about coolness? How about being cool as president is actually about helping people?
