Bill Maher recently defended his dinner meeting with Donald Trump during a segment on Real Time, asserting that Trump showed a gracious and measured demeanor, which contradicted his public persona. The surprising characterization sparked criticism from Washington Post columnist Josh Rogin, who suggested that Maher's engagement might unintentionally benefit Trump. The discussion highlighted the polarized reactions to public interactions with controversial figures. Maher argued for the necessity of dialogue, pushing back against critiques that stem from social media reactions. He emphasized a need for communication rather than isolation from differing views.

You've played the game of proximity is principle... I think that I represent 99 percent of the internet when I say this.
The fact that you began your little rant with the internet... That's a cesspool that just wants to fight.
