Liberal comedian Bill Maher is planning to meet with President Donald Trump again, after being impressed in 2025.
He faced a wave of backlash for his willingness to sit down with the president in March 2025, and it appears that he is going to do it again.
Watch:
The conversation started with Maher dunking on his former friend Larry David, who compared his previous meeting with the president to dining with Adolf Hitler. At the time of the op-ed, the comedian dismissed the “unhelpful” comparison.
“This is so childish, so purely emotional — the people who got all butthurt because I had dinner with [Trump] — you know, because he’s Hitler. Except he’s not. So unhelpful and dumb. Trump is the most supportive president Israel and the Jews ever had!” Maher said.
During his latest Club Random podcast with guest Ari Emanuel, the host revealed his continued distaste for “purity” politics and his plans to once again dine with the president.
“You should have this conversation with Larry. I would actually because you guys are so similar on so many things,” Emanuel said, as the pair discussed “playing the Hitler card.”
“And that’s what I hate about the purist left. Purity. It’s the easiest thing to be,” Maher responded. “And by the way, you know you’re not a political sophisticate when you immediately go to the Hitler card. That’s just one way. There’s a few others, but yes, purity. I just can’t take it. I can’t. More than anything, I can’t take it. And you and I are on the same page.”
“And I’m having dinner with him next week, by the way,” the liberal revealed.
“I’m having a conversation with him about this rebate that I think needs to happen for California and for the country, and I think it’s going to be a good thing, and he’s on board with it. He called me about it first, and I said to somebody, and it’s true; he’s 80 years old. This guy and I don’t know if you felt it, he’s a workaholic,” Emanuel said of the president.
Following his first dinner with the president, Maher was forced to disappoint the left by revealing that “[a] crazy person doesn’t live in the White House.”
“A person who plays a crazy person on TV a lot lives there, which I know is f**ked up, but it’s not as f**ked up as I thought it was,” her admitted, as previously reported by BizPac Review.
“As you know, 12 days ago I had dinner with President Trump, a dinner that was set up by my friend Kid Rock. Because we share a belief: That there’s gotta be something better than hurling insults from 3000 miles away,” he explained. “He laughs, including at himself. It’s not fake. Believe me, as a comedian, I know a fake laugh when I hear one. I thank you for them. I’ve had so many conversations with prominent people who were much less connected. People who don’t look you in the eye, people who don’t really listen. None of that with him.”
“You can hate me for it, but I’m not a liar. Trump was gracious and measured,” he added. “And why isn’t that in other settings- I don’t know, and I can’t answer, and it’s not my place to answer. I’m just telling you what I saw, and I wasn’t high.”
