Bill Maher, who has often been criticized for predicting that Trump would win in past elections despite the many controversial events surrounding him, says, with six weeks to go before the election, that he is now convinced Trump will lose:
“We can feel it.”
This follows his statements a few weeks earlier in which he already claimed to think Trump would fail to return to the White House.

During a discussion at the “overtime” segment with his panel of guests, Maher pointed out that people seem to quickly forget the mistakes of the past, condemning them to repeat them. He gave the example of Trump, who was president only four years earlier, and noted that we seem to have completely forgotten what it was like.
When one of his guests advised him not to jump to conclusions about the upcoming election, Maher replied that he had already put his mark on it and that we wouldn’t repeat the mistake of re-electing Trump.

When asked by one of his guests, author Fran Lebowitz, if he meant what he said, Maher responded with conviction:
“He’s definitely going to lose. We can feel it.”
He also jokingly added not to worry or think about it, saying that even if Trump won, not worrying about it beforehand would avoid all the stress of the election.

Donald Trump was quick to call Bill Maher a bad comedian… and accused him, in a post on Truth Social, of using fake laughs on his show. He also called Bill Maher and his program “obnoxious and disgusting”.

Trump also took the opportunity to send a message to Fox News, saying that real Republicans hate it when Fox airs his show, because it gives the impression that the left “agrees” with them.
Trump urged Fox to be smarter…
