WATCH: Rich Liberal Bill Maher Begs For Economic Collapse Because He Hates Trump

On Friday, rich liberal Bill Maher begged for an economic collapse in hopes that we would in turn be able to oust President Donald Trump, whom Maher does not like.

During a panel discussion on the economy — which, by the way, is currently booming and boasting record low unemployment numbers, particularly for minorities — the HBO host made his nasty, anti-Trump feelings known with his bizarre wish.

“I feel like the bottom has to fall out at some point, and by the way, I’m hoping for it because I think one way you get rid of Trump is a crashing economy,” said Maher. “So please, bring on the recession. Sorry if that hurts people but it’s either root for a recession, or you lose your democracy.”

It’s pretty galling to hear anyone wish for economic suffering for Americans on its face, but it’s even more disturbing to hear it from a rich man who knows he would not be affected by his perverse hope of economic calamity. The “Real Time” host has a net worth of $100 million, according to Newsweek, and his show has already been given a green light through 2020.

While Maher will be perfectly fine if economic troubles befall us, all the little people would have to suffer in the righteous pursuit of Anti-Trumpism.

Talk about out of touch.
