HBO host Bill Maher has once again voiced his concerns about President Trump's approach to trade, particularly his tariff war with China. During a recent episode of 'Real Time,' Maher stated that he believes a recession might be necessary to force President Trump to alter his tariff policies.
Maher argued that Trump's confrontational stance towards China is misguided, suggesting that the President has 'picked a fight with the wrong bully.' He implied that China's economic strength and resolve have been underestimated by the Trump administration.
'I just feel like he picked a fight with the wrong bully,' Maher said, adding that he believes a significant economic downturn might be the only way to get Trump to reconsider his current trade strategy. This is not the first time Maher has expressed such sentiments, having previously predicted similar economic consequences as a potential check on Trump's policies.
