HBO host Bill Maher said that he cannot deny some of the success under President Trump despite not voting for him.
Maher expressed his feelings about President Trump’s successes while speaking on Club Random podcast with actor William H. Macy.

“I can’t either – and he’s the president,” Macy agreed.
Macy acknowledged the sheet of paper in Maher’s studio featuring a list of favorite insults President Trump has hurled at home over the years; Trump signed the sheet upon Maher’s request when the comedian visited the White House earlier this year.
