Bill Maher distances from MSNBCs negative Trump coverage, insists he doesnt pre-hate everything related to prez: Im not that guy
HBO host and comedian Bill Maher recently insisted that he’s in the political “middle” and doesn’t “pre-hate” everything President Trump does just because MSNBC wants him to.In the latest episode of his “Club Random” podcast, Maher told actor and comedian Tom Green how he thinks there are huge issues on both the left and right and insisted that he refuses to hate everything Trump proposes just because Trump is the one proposing it.“That’s just my thing with Trump.I’m not going to pre-hate everything,” Maher told Green.The “Real Time” host mentioned having a “long list” of Trump ideas and proposals he hates, but stressed that he’s not against every single one of his ideas.Separating himself from MSNBC’s negative coverage of Trump, he noted, “There’s also a list of things I don’t hate that a lot of – I mean, everybody on the MSNBC world automatically hates the whole list.”“I’m not that guy, and I don’t want to be that guy,” he added.Trump came up again in the conversation after Green mentioned that the president and business mogul fired him from the second season of his NBC reality TV show, “The Celebrity Apprentice,” that aired in 2009.Green said that Trump fired him after seeing him hungover on set after a night out drinking with fellow “Apprentice” contestant and ex-NBA player Dennis Rodman.Maher found the anecdote hilarious, joking that it’s one of the few good moves he thinks Trump has made.
