Maher blames Democrats for Trump’s popularity: He's 'cool now'

Comedian Bill Maher said Democrats are at fault for President Trump’s "cool" status following his first full week in office.

“Here’s how bad the Democrats f***** up: Trump is cool now,” Maher declared during a Friday episode of Max’s “Real Time with Bill Maher.”

“He’s not just the most powerful guy in the world and just made himself like the richest, he’s actually kind of [cool] at 78!”

The comedian cited rappers and athletes expressing fondness for the president.

Hip-hop stars Nelly, Rick Ross and Snoop Dogg notably performed at Trump’s inaugural events, as did the Village People.

Democrats have been working to fight against Trump’s popularity with fact-checking and media blitzes, however, strategist James Carville suggested people should just allow the leader to “punch himself out.”

“He just says anything that he wants to say. He’s just going to keep plowing through,” Carville stated in a Friday MSNBC interview.

“And what we have to learn as Democrats, just let him punch himself out.”

Trump signed several controversial executive orders during his first week in office, including those challenging birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants.

Democrats pushed back on the recent measures in court and through press conferences vowing to protect local community members.
