'Hell frozen over': MAGA stunned as Bill Maher says he was wrong about major Trump policy

Liberal comedian Bill Maher left MAGA influencers stunned Monday as he said he was wrong about President Donald Trump's tariffs and that he's "got to own it."

Maher made the remark on his "Club Random" podcast during a chat with liberal podcaster Bryan Tyler Cohen.

“Just to take an example, tariffs. Now I remember that I, along with probably most people, was saying at the beginning, ‘Oh, you know, by the 4th of July… the economy was going to be tanked by then,’ and I was kind of like, ‘Well, that seems right to me,’” Maher said in remarks flagged by the New York Post.

“But, that didn’t happen. It could happen tomorrow. I’m just saying, that’s reality, so let’s work first from the reality of that, not from ‘I just hate Donald Trump,’ because that’s boring and doesn’t get us anywhere and leads you to dishonesty," he added.

Maher pointed to the stock market as evidence for progressives that Trump's tariffs so far have not backfired.

“The truth is, I don’t know what his strategy is but, look, the stock market is at record highs," he said. "I also drive around. I don’t see a country in a depression at all. I see people just out there living their lives. I would have thought, and I’ve got to own it, that these tariffs were going to f—–g sink this economy by this time, and they didn’t. How do we deal with that fact? Because that’s the fact.”

During the same episode, Maher slammed liberal "The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg for making "stupid woke" comments comparing the lives of Black Americans to those of people living under Iran's dictatorship.

MAGA was left floored by Maher's admission.

Right-wing influencer Paul A. Szypula wrote on X, "Bill Maher admits he was wrong about President Trump’s tariffs. They worked. The stock markets are at record highs. He says he looks around and the country is doing fine. The only reason people have been doubting President Trump is because of TDS."

TDS is a common MAGA acronym for "Trump Derangement Syndrome."

Fellow influencer Gunther Eagleman chimed in, "Never thought I would see the day that Bill Maher would admit he was WRONG about something Trump does. Has hell frozen over?

Right-wing podcaster Benny Johnson added on X, "Whoa. Bill Maher is forced to confess that he was completely wrong about President Trump’s tariffs."

Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, cheered on X, "Kudos for the intellectual honesty."

MAGA influencer Eric Daugherty added, "HOLY CRAP! President Trump just got Bill Maher to admit he was 'wrong' about the tariffs.
The 'experts' are flailing right now."

He concluded, "Total vindication for 47."

And right-wing journalist Nick Sortor wrote on X, "WOW! Bill Maher admitted he was WRONG about Trump’s tariffs."
