Few stories are as rewarding as a forced confession from one of the liberal elite media’s most reliable haters.
Bill Maher—longtime liberal pundit and serial Trump antagonist—finally admitted that Donald Trump’s tariff strategy factually worked. Not sorta. Not maybe. It flat-out worked, just as he said it would.
“I hate to say it, but he was right about the tariffs… I was one of those people who said, ‘Oh, tariffs, that’s not a good idea.’ And then I saw it happening and I was like, ‘You know what? It’s kind of working.’” (Daily Caller)
It gets worse—for him. Maher also admitted he fully expected Trump’s economic policy to self-destruct. In fact, he put a date on it:
“I remember… ‘by the 4th of July… the economy was going to be tanked by then.’ But that didn’t happen.”
And then there was this stunner:
“I would have thought—and I gotta own it—that these tariffs were going to [bleep-ing] sink this economy by this time—and they didn’t.” (TheWrap)
What does Maher observe instead?
“I don’t see a country in a depression at all… people are out there spending, living life.” (Daily Caller)
The Bottom Line Truth
The Bible says, “Claiming to be wise, they became fools.” (Romans 1:22) This was never about sound economics. This was ignorance and pride. A media class so blinded by hate that they waged war on fruit because they despised the tree.
They didn’t just mock Trump—they mocked wisdom, and they led millions of Americans into fear, inflation paranoia, and recession expectations. All while Trump—God’s chosen battering ram—outmaneuvered them on their home turf: money.
This matters deeply for the Church.
Too many believers still base their judgments on what the mob says instead of what God is doing. When God uses a man who doesn’t look like our pastors, doesn’t speak like our authors, or doesn’t bow like the Pharisees, many get offended instead of discerning.
The Word is not vague about fruit: “You will recognize them by their fruits.” (Matthew 7:16)
Trump’s policies are bearing real fruit, and even his enemies admit it now. If you’re still more focused on tone than results, you’re not discerning—you’re intentionally distracted.
Bill Maher just caught up to the truth. We’d do well to stop waiting for the world’s permission before we do the same.
