Trump unleashes screed against Bill Maher, says he won't appear on his show
Maher has, at times, been a favorite pundit of the right, given his willingness to break with the left in viral segments of his program.
President Donald Trump on Sunday evening posted a lengthy tirade against liberal pundit Bill Maher, with whom he dined at the White House just weeks ago.
Maher has, at times, been a favorite pundit of the right, given his willingness to break with the left in viral segments of his program. Seemingly prompting Trump's rant was former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt's appearance on Maher's show, which Trump said saw him ask biased questions.
The lengthy Truth Social rant saw Trump not only attack Maher for his handling of the Leavitt interview, but asserted that the pundit had repeatedly begged him to appear on the program and for an invitation to the White House.
'No sooner had we had that first dinner at the White House, which is a very seductive and beautiful place, especially now that I have fully renovated and fixed it in the style which it deserves, Bill wanted to come back," Trump said. "The Gofer called me multiple times, saying how much Bill loves me, that he respects me more than anybody, and wants to come back for a second meeting."
"When I became President, I agreed to meet, after the first one, and the last one, but never agreed to do his show, which he wants me to do, DESPARATELY — It won’t happen!" he insisted.
