President Donald Trump issued a lengthy Truth Social post on Sunday night criticizing comedian Bill Maher and stating that further contact would be useless. The post came two days after Maher used his HBO program to defend accepting a second private dinner at the White House.
During Friday’s episode, Maher addressed the criticism he received for meeting Trump again. He said, “Yeah, I did it again, b–ches! I know! I’m the bag guy because I go and say face-to-face to the man the things you write in articles he’ll never read, but okay. You know what? F–k you. I like these dinners.” Maher told viewers he prefers raising issues directly with Trump rather than through written coverage the president may never see.
