Bill Maher | Bill Maher Goes After Trump, Claims He Does Not Take the Coronavirus Seriously | Featured

On Friday’s “Real Time,” HBO host Bill Maher said President Trump’s alleged incompetence might make people turn against him. “I'm going to look on the bright side of this and say that I think the coronavirus is going to change people's views of Donald Trump, finally. Not for the better,” he said.

His statement came following a rally wherein the president dismissed as a “hoax” Democratic concerns about how he handles the virus. Maher said that Trump called the virus itself a Democratic hoax. He also denied wanting Trump to fail. “We're not rooting for failure! We’re rooting for health! We’re rooting for competence!”

Maher also argued that Trump is not taking the virus as seriously as he should. “I wish we didn't have a president who thinks this coronavirus is a minor annoyance, like the common cold or the Constitution of the United States,” Maher said. “One who appoints as the person to head up this massive medical emergency, [Vice President] Mike Pence, who doesn’t even believe in evolution.”

On Thursday night, Trump told a crowd that “the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus.” “Coronavirus, they're politicizing it. We did one of the great jobs. You see, ‘How's president Trump doing?' They go, ‘oh not good, not good.' They have no clue. They can't even count their votes in Iowa – not they can't, they can't count their votes.”

Fox News reported that Trump “added that one of his associates suggested the Democrats were perpetrating a hoax like they purportedly did during the Russia investigation.”

“One of my people came up to me and said, ‘Mr. President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia, that didn't work out too well. They couldn't do it. They tried the impeachment hoax,' that was on a perfect conversation, ‘they tried anything, they tried it over and over and they've been doing it since you got in. It's all turning, they lost, it's all turning – think of it, think of it, and this is their new hoax.'”
