Bill Maher, host of HBO’s “Real Time,” expressed hope for the American economy to crash so it may damage the chances of President Donald Trump getting reelected.

“Can I ask about the economy? Because this economy is going pretty well,” he said during a political debate on Friday with journalist Fareed Zakaria, columnist Linda Chavez, national affairs analyst John Heilemann, and political strategist Shermichael Singleton.
