Alex Skolnick recently defended Bill Maher over the comedian’s words that former president Donald Trump was ‘crazy’ on X.
Maher uttered the words in a recent chat with Joe Rogan, as the comedian discussed how he believed Trump was ‘crazy,’ ‘stupid,’ and a ‘criminal.’ So, Skolnick backed up the statement, stating why he sided with Maher on this:
“Not that I agree with Bill Maher on everything, especially lately, but here, he’s describing observable facts. Yet, some think Trump can do no wrong. We all have ‘TDS!,’ they say. Here’s a new one: Pro-Trump Derangement Syndrome. PTDS. If you blame TDS, you have PTDS.”
Then, the Testament guitarist replied to a comment saying they didn’t support Maher’s recent words on different topics, such as his stance against SAG-AFTRA strikes and woke culture. Alex said:
“Same. His new persona is a bit bizarre, mostly reactionary with occasional valid, debatable points but so undermined by his performing for the Rogan-Peterson-Gutfeld ‘anti-woke’ crusade crowd. And the take on the writers’ strike was tone-deaf at best, what the f*ck. But here [on Donald Trump], he’s spot on.”
The rocker continued by replying to another tweet which stated that Maher’s statement was just a subjective ‘opinion:’
“Mixed in are opinions, yes, but these assessments are based on facts. Example: ‘Criminal.’ Ok, not convicted, yet, but heavily indicted. ‘Crazy.’ Claiming election victory when all his advisers, other than a tiny minority now criminally charged themselves, said he lost? Seems fair.”
