In a stunning moment of honesty, liberal commentator Bill Maher recently admitted on his podcast that he was wrong about former President Donald Trump’s tariffs, conceding that the economic doom he and others predicted never materialized. “I gotta own it,” Maher said, acknowledging that despite his earlier skepticism, the U.S. economy has thrived under Trump’s trade policies. This rare display of intellectual humility stands in stark contrast to the relentless negativity of the liberal media, which continues to dismiss Trump’s economic successes despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Maher’s admission is particularly damning for the left-wing pundits and so-called “experts” who spent years fearmongering about Trump’s tariffs, claiming they would trigger inflation, cripple the stock market, and plunge the nation into recession. Instead, the opposite has happened. “The stock market is at record highs,” Maher noted, adding, “I don’t see a country in a depression at all. I see people out there just living their lives.” These remarks underscore the glaring disconnect between the liberal media’s hysterical predictions and the reality of Trump’s America-first economic agenda.
The facts speak for themselves. Since Trump’s return to the White House, the U.S. has secured game-changing trade deals with Japan, the European Union, and other key partners, strengthening American industries and creating jobs. Wages are up, unemployment is down, and consumer confidence is soaring—all while the left continues to peddle false narratives about an impending economic collapse. Maher’s reluctant acknowledgment of this success exposes the sheer dishonesty of outlets like CNN, MSNBC, and The New York Times, which would rather cling to their anti-Trump bias than report the truth.
What makes Maher’s comments even more significant is that they reflect a growing sentiment among everyday Americans who are witnessing the tangible benefits of Trump’s policies. While the liberal media remains trapped in its echo chamber of doom and gloom, ordinary citizens—including lifelong Democrats—are starting to question the relentless negativity. As Maher put it, “I would have thought… that these tariffs were going to fucking sink this economy by this time—and they didn’t.”

The question now is: When will the rest of the liberal media finally admit they were wrong? The answer, of course, is never—because doing so would require them to confront their own failures and give credit where it’s due: to President Trump.
