Bill Maher hammers Dems on how Trump is taking their voters, says he feels people's 'pain in the a--'

HBO host Bill Maher urged the Democratic Party on Friday to see how President Donald Trump has become a "master" at picking off their voters.

During the latest episode of "Real Time with Bill Maher," the comedian admitted that while Trump doesn’t run on protecting democracy or other high-minded American ideals, he knows how to sell obvious things to the common man, which is why he continues to take chunks of voters away from his opposition.

"He is the master at winning votes from small groups who are passionate about one issue, picking up a couple percent here, a couple there until it’s ‘YMCA!'" he said, quoting the president’s favorite campaign song.

Maher provided an example showcasing Trump’s skill. "While Democrats offer up high-minded intangibles like equity and saving the soul of America, Trump says, ‘Hey waitress, how would you like to pay no tax on those tips?’ Remember that? And everybody was like, ‘Why didn’t we think of that?'"

He offered that as a reason Trump won Nevada in 2024 – the first time a GOP candidate has done so in 20 years – because of all the service industry jobs there that run on tips.

Maher then listed the other groups Trump was able to snag votes from that led to his victory.

"He did it with the tips. He got the TikTok vote. He got the people for whom toilets are very important vote. He got the ‘enough of taking our shoes off at the airport’ vote, the crypto bro vote, the tech bro vote, the bro bro vote," he said, adding, "He got rappers and kale eaters."

He also mentioned how Trump was able to secure the former independent candidate and current Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s supporters in 2024, saying, "Oh, that’s another – I don’t know – four percent he picked off. And they’re ride or die."

"Trump runs for office like that kid in eighth grade who ran for school president on a pledge of more snow days," Maher joked.

He continued, saying that "elections are won on the margins, by a coalition of little things that hit people personally. Trump gets this, he feels your pain in the a--. Kamala ran on democracy, which is the most important issue. But without the political skill to sell it, it added up to nothing."

"Meanwhile, Trump was running on, ‘I’ll make the poop go down.’ He never shut up about bad shower pressure, s----- light bulbs, and low-flow toilets. Not exactly ‘ask not what your country can do for you,’ but for some little niche group, it was all that mattered," he said. 

Regarding Trump’s efforts to potentially reclassify marijuana, Maher joked, "Finally, he got around to me."

Judge denies bond for illegal immigrant trucker in deadly Florida Turnpike wreck

A Florida judge on Saturday denied bond to Rajinder Singh, an illegal migrant trucker from India accused of causing a deadly crash in Fort Pierce that killed three people.

St. Lucie County Judge Lauren Sweet ruled that Singh is an unauthorized alien and a substantial flight risk.

Sweet also found probable cause for all six charges against Singh and classified them as forcible felonies under Florida law.

"There are no conditions of release that will ensure your appearance at trial," Sweet said. "Therefore, sir, I’m setting your bond on each charge at no bond."

Singh, who appeared virtually from the St. Lucie County Jail, with the help of an interpreter, was arrested on two warrants charging him with three counts of vehicular homicide and three counts of manslaughter for the deadly Aug. 12 crash.

Investigators say Singh attempted an illegal U-turn in his semi-truck, causing his truck to jackknife, blocking the northbound lanes of the Florida Turnpike. A minivan then slammed into the trailer, killing all three people inside.

Sweet said that both arrest warrant affidavits were previously reviewed by a judge. Each judge found probable cause at that time for each of the six charges.

"This court finds there is probable cause to believe you committed a forcible felony for all six charges," Sweet said.

Singh hesitated when asked if he wanted an attorney before Sweet provisionally appointed the public defender’s office to represent him.

Singh was arrested in Stockton, California, last week and extradited back to Florida.  

Harjinder Singh, who crossed into the United States illegally in 2018 via the southern border, obtained a commercial driver's license in California. He attempted to obtain work authorization, but it was rejected by the first Trump administration on Sept. 14, 2020, according to Tricia McLaughlin, Homeland Security assistant secretary for public affairs.
