Bill Maher’s Embrace of Civil Discourse Is No Laughing Matter

Erec Smith

Recently on Realtime with Bill Maher, the show’s host took a substantial amount of airtime to discuss his meeting with President Donald Trump, a meeting apparently brokered by the musician Kid Rock. Maher, who has not held back in criticizing the president, was pleased to announce that the meeting went well. President Trump, who also hasn’t minced words when talking about Maher, and has even sued him for defamation, accepted him with grace and good humor.

For this, Maher was pleasantly surprised.
