On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher criticized the tariffs proposed by President Donald Trump but said Democrats have ditched working-class voters.
Former Trump Adviser Steve Bannon said that the coalition President Donald Trump has built a strong coalition, “and it’s only going to get bigger, because he’s bringing back American manufacturing jobs to working-class people. And the Democratic Party abandoned working-class people for the credentialed class that you talk about all the time. And you can’t cosplay being a populist, if you’re not prepared to take hard things like the trade deal.”
Maher responded to the statement that Democrats “abandoned working-class people for the credentialed class” by saying, “Yeah.” And agreed that you can’t fake being populist.
