On HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, Maher lambasted President Trump's trade war, citing its detrimental effects on the U.S. economy as evidenced by plummeting approval ratings and decreasing consumer confidence. During the show's monologue, Maher pointed out that Trump's administration has seen the lowest approval ratings for a president at the 100-day mark in 80 years, and he noted a significant decrease in stock value and economic performance. Maher humorously questioned the public's patience with Trump's policies, encapsulating his concerns through comedic observations about economic turmoil.
BILL MAHER: Christ, we hit the 100-day mark of the Trump administration, as you know, this week, and ooh, the numbers are kind of in the toilet. 39% of America approval rating. That's the lowest 100-day mark for a president in 80 years.
It's like America remarried their ex and remembered why they got divorced in the first place. I'm just giving you the facts.
The S&P 500 down 7% since Trump took office. The value of the dollar is off 10%. The economy has shrunk for the first time in three years.
And, you know, this is all because of the tariffs, which are going to have been in effect now for a while.
