It’s up to comedian and talk show host Bill Maher to prove President Donald Trump wrong.
In a social media post over the weekend, the president dished on a potential meeting with the liberal host of HBO’s “Real Time With Bill Maher,” admitting he “didn’t like the idea much” but is evidently going through with it because it might be “interesting.”
Trump outlined what he saw as the “problem” with hosting Maher at the White House, contending that he is “unjustifiably critical” of anything related to him.
I got a call from a very good guy, and friend of mine, Kid Rock, asking me whether or not it would be possible for me to meet, in the White House, with Bill Maher, a man who has been unjustifiably critical of anything, or anyone, TRUMP. I really didn’t like the idea much, and…

“I got a call from a very good guy, and friend of mine, Kid Rock, asking me whether or not it would be possible for me to meet, in the White House, with Bill Maher, a man who has been unjustifiably critical of anything, or anyone, TRUMP” the president wrote on Truth Social Sunday.
“I really didn’t like the idea much, and don’t like it much now, but thought it would be interesting,” he continued.
“The problem is, no matter how much he likes your Favorite President, ME, he will publicly proclaim what a terrible guy I am, etc., very much like the Democrats at my recent Address to the Joint Session of Congress, where I stated, correctly, that no matter what I said or did, they wouldn’t stand, they wouldn’t applaud, they wouldn’t smile or laugh and, certainly, they wouldn’t be in any way ‘nice,'” Trump wrote.
“Who knows, though, maybe I’ll be proven wrong?” the president speculated.
“In any event, I’m doing a favor for a friend. I look forward to meeting with Bill Maher, Kid Rock and, I believe, even the Legendary Dana White will be present,” he added, referring to the CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. “It might be fun or, it might not, but you will be the first to know!”
Maher recently spoke on Chris Cuomo’s podcast “The Chris Cuomo Project,” about the upcoming dinner with Trump, suggesting it could be a “beginning to heal America.”
Now, I don’t have some sort of complex where I think I can heal America, I can’t. Okay, let’s get that clear. I’m not going to be healing America. But if two guys who’ve been at each other for so long — I mean, it’s kind of a Nixon to China thing,” Maher explained, adding that “it probably will accomplish very little, but you gotta try, man.”
