trump has now said he is the best at being humble
Sigh...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Agree with everything he said except condemning notes in the lunchbox. Nice notes from mom in my lunchbox helped me get through the tough days in elementary schools.
Your mum sounds like a lovely woman.I also do not see anything wrong with showing love to your kids eg with sme lovely notes in their lunch box.
Most children are self-centered. It's human nature. The idea is that you're supposed to grow out of it. Donald Drumpf clearly hasn't.
You have to have self-esteem ("I can do this!"), but you also have to be self-aware ("I'm not so good at this; let's see how I can improve!"). And you also have to consider other people while you're at it.
Probably best to show the world this “I’m Special” 1970’s tape and then light it on fire because we all know what it has led to over the past 5 decades.
Donald Trump is the adult Eric Cartman (Southpark).
LOL.
the truest comment ever.
Actualy now that I think of it. Cartman's a lovable Lil ass hole. The same can't be said for drumpf. cartman 2016
NO BECAUSE ERIK CARTMAN WAS MORE SUCCSECFULL THAN TRUMP AS A KID THAN TRUMP IS A ADULT
+oogity-boogity woogity He's also Biff Tannen
Yep. More confidence than knowledge explains why 90% of RUclips comments are ignorant crap.
+TheJapanChannelDcom
Yes! And no consequences, as well.
+Alexandre Gareau And interferes with those of us who do;
I'm hearing George Carlin all over again haha "You were the last winner:)"
This was dead on. "The white Kanye"... 😂😂😂
.......and Kanye himself proudly wears a MAGA hat.
Could not be said any better !
We are number one in thinking we are number one.
Funny! Love it! So true! A cheerful heart is good medicine. Thanks it helps relieve the tension.
Brilliant. Bill nailed it, perfectly.
+SoulStylistJukeBox : The "Self esteem movement" was created by LIBERALS like Maher.
Well put Bill, well put.
Without Trump voters, Trump would be nothing. He's not the problem, he's the symptom.
that's really well put. lately i feel i feel like if people really want trump than they deserve it. i hate to say it but people are just blindly voting at this point. personally i think trump is a complete phony liar. everything he says i see through. when he talks I'm embarrassed for him but people eat it up! i cannot see how anyone believes he will be a good president. he is the white kanye. and as corrupt as they get.
That's the attitude that got him elected...and re elected.
@@SpotlightGlobalMusic But Trump represents the idiocy of America so well. People are ignorant, they want to remain ignorant. They refuse to believe that they themselves might be the reason that they don't get everything they feel that they should be getting. The public has become so delusional that fake news has become an actual thing. They can actively choose to believe news that supports their delusions. Damn. That's just crazy.
You're right. Same in the UK. Boris Johnson did not cause Brexit, but he is the symptom of all the things that caused people to think leaving the EU was a good idea.
Katheryne Mero I wouldn’t call someone ignorant for voting for a guy that wants to lower their taxes than a guy that wants to raise their taxes. Really that simple, why would any old white person care about racial injustice if it has nothing to do with them?
Trump is the best at everything - In my experience those who claim such things are bad at everything.
I prefer to think of him as the poster-child for affluenza.
+Peter Young No kidding...
Wow, this was one of the best clips by Bill Maher yet. For the haters, try honestly to watch it one more time and listen closely.
"I know words, I have the best words"
so great, so spot on, america i hope you know the whole world is laughing at you
whoooo america!
"He's the white Kanye West" - Terrific!
he's fantastic. he's so great that it'll make your head spin
+Sean Tripp greetings, fellow libsoc!
More like an orange Kanye.
+Sean Tripp hack joke stolen from online content and comments
David Amiri It's still funny... Sorry it hurt your feelings... Wait, no I'm not
Dead spot on.... Thank you
Reality by Bill Mahr! Finally, someone has the balls to tell the truth about Donald Trump. He's a legend in his own mind.
+jetpowered1 are you serious? "finally"? people have been making fun of trump for months, this isnt even slightly knew
My bullet will be a legend in his mind
Josh Merrill
how is it new?
+Ed Bain 'he said, sitting in his underwear on the couch, readying the lotion'
+Noah haoN. new not knew like i kklnew the answer. like brand new car
I used to tell my kids that they were the center of MY universe--but not the center of anyone else's universe, that they had to behave themselves to be liked or appreciated by anyone else in this world. Why don't parents teach their kids basic manners today??
Thank you Bill mahr. For existing.
4:30 There is a name for this phenomenon. It is the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Dunning and Kruger are never Trumpers!! Ignore the fake news!!
Nah, only joking...
One of, if not the, best segment by Maher ever.
Who immediately thought of George Carlin when you read the self-esteem movement??
+Jason Gordon Wish he was alive today to call out the stupidity.
+Hevian S wait I thought he said God doesn't exist..............
I immediately thought of the george. a man sorely needed now
+Jason Gordon I miss that man.
Frank Underwood we all do mate. Good people like George and Bill Hicks die and are replaced by mediocre cunts like lady gaga, bieber and a whole host of people who should be left bleeding in the moonlight
acctually learning to love someone else is the greatest love
Loved it. Thanks Bill.
The question is: Which is worse, too much self-love, or no self-esteem at all? Either can be deadly.
+beige wyng Do you think he has self esteem?
No self esteem at all is far worse. Narcissism is rooted in insecurity and lack of (true) self love, contrary to popular belief
Both extremes can to be expressions of excessive self-centered-ness.
Yeah, but one hurts everyone else, and one only hurts the individual in question. Seems pretty simple.
"White Kanye West" , i heard this couple of times before but i still burst into laughter
No wonder Kanye relates to him.
Some reporter actually ended up asking him about being humble and he legitimately did say something along the lines of "I am so humble, I'm more humble than you could ever know"
He has slapped his trademark on everything but one thing - a country. So no thanks, Trump, we don't want to be a part of your marketing experiment with 'The Trump States of America'.
+T Mode *The Confederate States of Trump. But yeah, I don't want it either.
redlightmax jeez, you're right, he'll name the continent after himself. He clearly doesn't care what Mexico thinks, and Canada isn't even a real country 😂
Bill he's the Orange Kanye West
Okay, Bill is about 75% right on this. Yes, many people today are extremely self-centered and arrogant, but not everybody. There are still people at the other end of the spectrum who are so humble that they doubt themselves often and have very low self-esteem that does harm them psychologically in the long-term. You wouldn't notice these people, but they do still exist. I can understand why Bill is upset at how arrogant people are, but we can't forget the other side of this as well.
I agree with this.
you can recognize these types of people. Narcissists don't commonly get involved with other narcissists. If you see a couple and one of them looks like they are being bled dry by the other person, then you know who the narcissistic vampire is.
That may explain why Cesar Sayoc described attending a Trump rally as "like a new found drug.
That's true. And what makes this segment somewhat unfair is that normal children are naturally selfish. The point is that you're supposed to grow out of it. Whether you grew up with strict parents or in a "no rules" household, it's still possible to become a well-adjusted adult. It's still possible to develop a strong sense of empathy and compassion for others, and to learn to act selflessly. Whst makes Donald Trump different from everyone else who grew up as the spoiled brat child of a New York millionaire, is that on top of growing up in a home where he was just given everything he could ever want, and allowed to do whatever he wanted, Donald Trump also at some point developed Narcissistic Personality Disorder, which made him incapable of outgrowing that childish attitude of selfishness, and which prevented him from developing that sense of empathy and compassion which every well-adjusted member of society has.
Maybe those are the foreign born. When they grew up, every day there was some kind of reminder that they suck, justified or not.
call me crazy but i think Bill would make a great president
+Taymor Wily you're crazy
There's idiots who think trump would make a good president, lol I think you're mildly sane.
+Taymor Wily You're crazy. This is still the same guy who gave a million dollars to Obama's campaign. His blind devotion to the political left continues despite them being the ones who passionately coddle children and teach them to feel like winners without actually competing.
+Taymor Wily No, but luckily I don't think he'd want the job.
+Palace Of Wisdom Oh really? And you think Republicans are any better? Think again!
That was by far the best depiction of the Donald I've ever heard.
I’m all in with Bill about the parents that coddle and enable there kids, except for the notes in the lunch box. I think those are cute. My mom did it.
He's right about parents who don't discipline their kids but the self-esteem bit is BS. My parents always told me to love myself and to be humble.
You can do both.
His example of American college students being last in math in a survey of 8 developed nations, but first in being confident about their math skills, illustrates his point nicely.
+CardsNHorns04 Loving yourself is not the same as being in love with yourself.
+UltimateWheelman those test scores seem odd when one considers US leading in research. Finland leads in test scores but not leading in research .those test scores are not reliable predictors.
+CardsNHorns04 No, you shouldn't "love" yourself, you should *accept" yourself. Being realistic about the areas you are skilled in and where you fall short will always lead to genuine humility and honesty. When you truly "love" yourself, you will constantly be looking for ways to validate your character which more often than not are built upon nothing valuable. However, I will say that, if you have a high opinion of yourself, it _IS_ possible to act humble around other people, but it'll almost never be genuine. For instance, you could be driven to act kind around someone else for the recognition it would give you from your peers.
Well said.
The only thing I disagree in this is being angry about adults asking the kid where they want to go for dinner. I don't really see the issue with that every once and a while.
Makes me glad my parents didn't pull those stupid junk. I never got the funny notes, and my parents didn't just take my word for things between me and my teachers. I guess that's because my parents had to deal with rude entitled children in their professions.
I love Bill, watch him all the time. I do agree with much of this but I disagree with "EVERY time a parent takes the side of the child and not the teacher, or shut up when adults talk." I am a 52 year old father of a 16 year old. My son is right sometimes and teachers wrong - I have experienced it. My son is thoughtful, kind and respectful all his life, he earned my loyalty and trust in his word. I also grew up in the era of kids are supposed to be seen not heard...that is bullshit. I find kids are people...some suck and some are very intelligent and intuitive. I treat them as I do all humans, listen and respect the ones that deserve it.
+Jimmy Giles I think we know what he means by "every" (certainly not EVERY-every). This is the idea that the parent always sides with the child over the teacher even when the child misbehaves, the parent who demands that the teacher explain their child's bad grades rather than the child him/herself.
Jimmy Giles What about if your kid ask were he would like to go or eat?
Like everything in life, context matters, nuance matters, as well as perspective, and there are always exceptions to the rule. ✌🏻🇺🇸
What can you say about Trump that he hasn't said better himself? After all, he is the best at saying.
+Shreshtha Mani Choudhary Dont forget, he also knows words, he has the best words!
+pkasi88 yet he doesn't use the word vocabulary XD.. Hahaha
So fucking true...Bill keeping it real.
Bill never let's us down. LOL!
We're #1 in confidence at math skills, reminds me of how I was when took calculus in high school. Failed the fuck out of it but thought that I was the shit for taking it.
When I was in college it was possible for less than 10% of the grades on any given piece of work to be "A's". If the curve at the top was steep enough (some smart guy scores an 87 and the next highest score is 39 and then it falls into the 20's) there could be two "A" grades out of a class of 234 people. I am not sure what has gone wrong since then. I passed classes by the narrowest of margins and am proud of it because I know that the people who inflicted the damage where that much better than I was at that particular topic. When they came to my department to take their mandatory beating (ahem, required classes) the roles were reversed. When did it become "OK" to give more than half the people who showed up "A's"? The course work is not challenging enough if the wheat can't be separated from the chaff.
"When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different." ---DONALD TRUMP
You're kidding, right? Tell me you're kidding!
"He's the white kanye" damn bill called it😂😂😂
Anyone else pee on the side of the toilet at night so you don't make any noise?
+Nick's Strength and Power
Donald does... and he is the best at it.
"When does a child hear those all important words: 'You lost Bobby. You're a loser Bobby' ?"
Bobby's not a loser. He was the last winner.
+cjflo Lol...
+cjflo or even worse: you're special and the other kids just don't understand why you are actually the secret winner
***** should I know her?
I actually agree with the thrust of this segment. The problem with this kind of self love is its unconditionality. As I see it though that is the only problem.
The Oprah thing was hilarious!
He is indeed the white 'Kanye West'.
I think a lot of us have a botched idea of what love is in the first place. It's clear to me that Trump doesn't love himself - just the opposite. He hates himself. He can't stand himself. Merely existing in his own body is an ongoing battle to avoid self-loathing. Like the bratty child, he craves attention to try to prove to himself that if he can get people to look at him, then maybe he is worth something.
When two people are in a relationship and one of them feels the need to say, "By the way, I love you so very very very much. You're the most amazing thing in the world. You're just so awesome and amazing and I love you love you love you," every other minute, we all know that relationship isn't going to last. Or we're witnessing two people on a hormone kick about to hit the peak and come crashing down.
It's one thing to affirm, it's another to exaggerate in crazed desperation. Just like people who are in deep, long-lasting, healthy relationships, a person who loves himself doesn't need to go around saying it all the time, especially to a camera. It's the same thing with confidence. Those who purport to be confident are often the least confident when put to the test. Real confidence, just like real love, is self-defeating if it needs constant affirmation.
So in that sense, yes, the "self-esteem movement" is bogus, as you described it. People shouldn't be raised feeling like they need constant affirmation, whether from themselves or from others. The whole point of love is that it's a bond. I mean, do most of us go around telling our friends "hey friend, you're my best friend," all the time? I doubt it. Do two magnets sit there going, "Hey, we're still connected, right? Maybe I better buy you flowers just to be sure."
I've got nothing against demonstrations of affectation, but I think the word we're looking for is self-obsession, fueled by deep-seated self-loathing. Not self-love. Just like the stalker is creepy because their object of affection is not returning the interest, the self-obsessed person is creepy because we know that on the inside their object of affection is not returning the interest. They are splintered and broken, and cannot convince themselves that they are worthy of the praise they try to shower on themselves.
And the very idea of allowing a person like that to have power? It's like giving your stalker the keys to your house, or buying an alcoholic a brewery and putting it next to a schoolyard.
Unfortunately, too true!
This is so great I love you Bill
This is a big part of why we can't have real debate in this country. Too many people don't understand that you can respectfully disagree. I can think that your opinion is stupid without calling you an idiot. We don't need to all agree on everything. We're not fragile snowflakes.
al sharpton had it right a while back. he isnt the white kanye, hes the white don king. the one time ive ever agreed with sharpton. only in america
LesGrossman News I see what you did there
I love Esperanza Spalding.
By far the best episode of Bill Maher for me!
It would be interesting to study the kids who didn't have parents that bought into this and see how they as a group responded to growing up around a majority of other kids raised this way. my parents weren't like that and the whole thing when i was at school felt weird and uncomfortable and condescending. although i didn't know what condescending was when i was six. it was also annoying to put up with the other kids who bought into it.
Writing a note in your kid's lunch and telling them you love them is not the problem. Every child needs to feel loved. The problem is parents telling their kids that they are the best no matter what they do, or that any opinion they hold is reasonable, or that by "being good" they deserve the things they get, whereas people who don't "achieve" in life are there because they didn't try hard enough.
I don't know how Melania can stand living with "theDonald." How long can you keep telling him "it's the biggest" before you slip and tell him the truth.
After there's just too much "slipping?"😊

George Carlin talked about how stupid and pointless the self-esteem movement is. And he says is way better than Maher. Then again even he would say that too.
"i can be more presidential than anybody" whatever that means
He doesn't feel obliged to say things that make sense e g. what on earth is a "perfect" phone call? Didn't know there were standards in phone calls!
I passed calc 2 with an A and I have relatively low self-esteem. I'm also skinny. I suppose that makes me a traitor to this great nation.
Damn right it does!
"There's nobody bigger and better at the military than I am" What the hell does that even mean?
Man George Carlin was talking about this in the early two thousands. So glad Bill is keeping it going.
Bill keep these segments coming .
Donald Drumpf is the white Kim Jong-un.
Ya Donald trump though is gonna make America great again
#MakeAmericaNorthKoreaAgain
Your insulting Kim Jong un
+Árni Þór Þorgeirsson You must be the resident bigot.
+Árni Þór Þorgeirsson kim jong un doesn't even speak
I love the unbiased media!
Best ever!
Well he sure nailed that one, speaking from 2019
Anybody watching House of Cards and noticing that the real political campaign is more of a circus than fiction.
This reminded me of George Carlin's "Child Worship" bit.
3:20 watching him make it up as he goes is probably the most hilarious & frightening thing to watch on tv.
better than these robot politicians. with their stupid teleprompters
+thecool24681
exactly
chasemebaby
Ahh but the 'skilled chef' isn't skilled at all. He/she is just watching videos of what people think other people want to be lied to about.
But you are right that they are over priced - just look at our taxes.
Also it is spelled America, and just because someone disagrees with you, that does not make them a moron.
+chasemebaby your dumb. And no one believes your crap because your the one that's lying or being lied to. You'd have to kill me in order for me not to vote for trump.
thecool24681 Ok faceless troll you over did that act. Scale it back it will be more believable next time. You must be new to this. Or just very very bad at it.
hahaha i love this guy!!!
He made a very good point when he said everyone is a winner. In USA schools now, there is no competition.
+ekene paschal I don't know about ALL schools, but I really disagree with his assessment of grades at Yale. I posted another comment with citations and stuff that I'm too lazy to reproduce, but basically the incoming freshmen SAT scores in 1979 were lower than in 2015. It may even be the case that, although the number of applicants to Yale has increased, the number of students they admit hasn't, making it more competitive. If admission is harder, it would make sense that the grades at Yale would be higher, since a better caliber of student is admitted. That's not to deny that grade inflation happens, though.
Also, why pick on college grads? They're not voting for Trump.
You may be right about US schools overall, though. I don't know about those stats.
+Anon Account
10% in the 60s and 62% now? That's quite a leap, especially when the number of students they admit has remained stagnant over the years. Either there is a serious case of grade inflation, or students taking easy course for the sole purpose of boosting their GPA.
This is why I love Bill Mahr! :D
I can tell from the comments that conservatives don't watch Maher very often--if they did they would know that Maher bashes out of control liberalism all the time on his show
thank you! stop making lids more important than adults in every situation. unless it is a safety issue, an urgent matter, etc. children need to learn their place and wait their turn in society. this indulgence is creating unhealthy and unhappy adults
"I can be more presidential than anybody" hahaha what does that even mean??
I don't agree with Bill on how we shouldn't spoil kids and boost their self esteem and confidence, etc. I do believe that Donald Trump was taught entitlement and superiority which are completely different. He also seems to be narcissistic, so maybe he was raised by a narcissistic parent.
Maybe. I know when Trump was in militairy school he was NOT loved by his fellow students. When his father came to visit him, he allways brought a beautifull girl so Trump could showoff to his classmates. This worked and Trump became known as a ladiesman. What parent does this?
thank you thank you thank you!
I will never forgive Americans for inflicting this pestilence of a president upon the rest of the world.
narcissism and self-esteem arent the same thing. he probably has small hands for a reason.
We're number one at looking like number two.
The more I think about it the more backwards Bill seems to have got it. Trump doesn't have too much self esteem. He has too little. People with self esteem don't need to see their name in giant letters on a building, they don't rip others down to make themselves look better, they don't lash out at their critics, they don't brag about their sucess. Besides, Trump is older than the self-esteem movement which started in 1969 when Trump was already 23 years old.
+mena3976 Trump's preacher as a kid was Norman Vincent Peale. He wasn't necessarily part of the self-esteem movement, per se, but he was big into a similar mode of thinking. He wrote a book called, "The Power of Positive Thinking". Trump grew up on a steady diet of this stuff. It's not that he naturally has low or high self-esteem, it's that he deliberately expels self-doubt from his thought processes. This could very well make you a good salesman, entertainer or self-promoter, as Trump no doubt is. However, it leaves much to be desired when working with details and trying to understand nuances, as Trump seems to struggle with a good deal.The "self-esteem movement" may have only appeared in public education under that name relatively recently, but the "new thought movement" has been around for over a century and preaches a very similar dogma in some places.
So glad someone here understands psychology!
You got it so right, although he's also a narcissist, he fits the definition to a T
she has an awesome voice
The term 'Trophy Syndrome' states it perfectly. The generation that was handed trophies just for farting downwind is now populated with 'adults' who require gummy vitamins, adult coloring books, and doughnut-flavored coffees to wash down their doughnuts. Having been so totally protected from disappointment, consequences and failure has seriously undermined their coping skills.
Be patient people, I haven't found that magic verbally abusive phrase that can shock someone out of Dunning-Kruger, but I hope to be moving onto trials come November
This is a little bit too accurate for comfort
Say it in the back of the hall for Tumblr.
i love this guy
I don't think he's entirely wrong but it's pretty ironic hearing Bill talk about how other people like themselves too much.
I never said that......I never said it
"...and believe me, nobody says that better than Trump"
"... I have words, the best words!"
" a SMALL loan of a MILLION dollars "
My mom did everything he said not to do, but I somehow turned out OK. I never did it, but she would have never let me throw a tantrum over nothing or be rude to people.Even though she did all those things and it gave me good self esteem I never thought I was better than anyone. I don’t know why doing all those things worked on me but makes other kids brats and think that they’re entitled to have anything they want. I think the only reason I didn’t turn out like that what is that my mom is a kind woman who puts other people first. She may have done All those things he said not to do but she also taught me to treat other people as I would like to be treated. She showed me by example how to be a good person. She is a amazing mom. She also always treated me like my opinion mattered. She never would have told me to be quiet and that the grown-ups are talking. One of the best examples of her great parenting is that we were at a store and I asked the woman who works there a question and she at first ignored me and then was rude because I was just three years old. I asked my mom “Can’t she treat me like that?” And my mom said “No sweetheart, she can’t” Even kids are entitled to respect, especially if they are being respectful to the person.
Trump who!!? where did I hear that name before!?.
+Elmuhager Elmancy *drumpf
Exactly spot on!
Words of wisdom!
