it's all about keeping an audience. He is adhering to the philosophy of other comedians that we have been hearing about regarding political humor. That is, "Why piss off 50% of your viewers?" His credibility suffered a huge hit when he declared on Real Time that during his dinner with Trump he realized that "...A crazy person doesn't live in the White House. A person who plays a crazy person on TV a lot lives there..."

Wrong, Bill! The real person is the Trump who says and does crazy, disgusting things daily. He managed to impersonate a reasonable person with you for one evening.
