Part 4/8:
As Maher engaged with the co-hosts, his criticisms led to uncomfortable moments on set. When pressed on Donald Trump’s promises regarding immigration, Maher humorously tackled criticisms made about the impossibility of deporting millions of immigrants. He pointedly remarked on the absurdity of the situation and ridiculed the lack of coherent plans from critics who opposed Trump’s vision.
This pushback brought forth defensiveness from The View co-hosts. Rather than allowing for a direct counter-argument, the discussion often veered into attempts to interrogate Maher’s credibility, which he deftly dismissed with his wit and charm.
