President Donald Trump launched an essay-length attack on Bill Maher on Sunday after the “Real Time” host mocked him on Friday night’s episode, which came after his dinner at the White House earlier this month.
“Let’s talk about this COMPLETE AND TOTAL LOSER, Bill Maher,” Trump began, kicking off a rant that would exceed 1,300 words as the president described his second dinner with the TV host.
Trump said Maher arrived drunk, called him “very insecure,” and said he “lies about everything.”
The president wrote on Truth Social:
“After the first dinner, Bill Maher was friendly, I guess, everyone walked away pleased. He gave me a good first show, with lots of Laughing Machine laughter, which is a real term, but it is what it is, and then reverted back to his former self, and his old ways. I understand that. He’s doing his thing. I never took it very personally. I would always mock his Low Ratings, whenever I heard. He’s not a nice guy, and what he spouts isn’t what he believes. He has to cater to his base, which is mostly composed of Losers, and people who don’t like working.”
“After the second dinner, Bill’s ‘show’ was far worse than the first. He went crazy!” Trump wrote of Friday’s episode, in which Maher joked about the dinner, made a crack about the president’s former friendship with late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and called his actions on the Russia-Ukraine war “unconscionable.”
“He’s gutless, because he enjoyed every minute” of their dinner, Trump wrote.
He wrote several times that Maher’s business partner, in arranging the dinner, claimed that Maher “loves” Trump and respects him “more than anybody.”
The president also offered Maher ― who often smokes marijuana on his “Club Random” podcast ― some unsolicited health advice.
“I wanted to tell Bill that he’s a major POTHEAD. He’s got to stop, it’s very bad for his health,” Trump wrote. “He looked like hell this time.”
Trump praised his former press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, for her appearance on the show on Friday night, but slammed Maher as a “biased, dumb SLEAZEBAG” as well as “hopeless,” a “coward” and “FAKE NEWS.”
“Bill: Don’t call anymore,” he wrote. “It’s useless.”
