Finally, Maher alleged that “white supremacists” are “welcomed as part of [Trump’s] base.” This comes in spite of the fact that the president has previously denounced racial hatred in all of its forms.

Like other liberals, Maher is very eager for the Democrat Party to regain control of the White House. Throughout his claims about Trump and racism, Maher made this very clear.
Controversial Comparisons Between President Trump and Racism
The president regularly faces accusations of racism from his political opponents and other Americans who simply do not like him. Policies such as the enforcement of legal immigration and enforcing work requirements in order for lower-income Americans to receive welfare, both policies championed by the president, are often demonized as racist by Democrats.
Trump supporters have largely pushed back against claims of racism. Those on the right-wing often state that whenever Democrats dislike a policy or politician, they brand them as racist. Furthermore, some Americans have claimed that unapplicable accusations of racism cheapen the weight of real racism.
