- Patton Oswalt says Bill Maher was wrong to try to 'placate' Trump, argues it always backfires
Comedian Patton Oswalt criticized Bill Maher for attempting to 'placate' Donald Trump, arguing such efforts backfire and that Trump resents those who show conditional approval. Oswalt contrasted Maher's approach with comedians like Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert, who openly criticize Trump without seeking his favor. The dispute follows a February 2022 incident where Trump lashed out at Maher on Truth Social over a joke about China and hockey.
