Talk about timing.
Bill Maher revealed to NCS that President Donald Trump routinely texts him following their much-publicized dinner at the White House final 12 months — and that the president scolds him for remaining a member of the “lunatic left.”
Maher shared that element in an interview with NCS’s Elex Michaelson that was posted to YouTube on Saturday — only some hours after Trump absolutely shredded Maher for being a “highly overrated LIGHTWEIGHT.”
The Real Time host stated liberals obtained actual upset with him final 12 months when he reported Trump is “very different” in particular person.
“Don’t you get it. He operates everything out of a personal relationship. You have to have a personal relationship,” Maher stated. “Trust me, he’s not upstairs reading the briefing books.”
He stated that his three hour dinner with Trump final March and the president’s uber-friendly assembly with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) show that’s the case.
“You hear from him sometimes, afterwards, right? Does he text you?” Michaelson requested.
“Yes! Yelling at me!” Maher stated.
“You’re still part of the lunatic left,” Maher stated. “He watches, he gets it, that I didn’t change… it’s just better. Because then I can say something back. and it becomes a conversation.”
Michaelson’s interview was supposed to run on the Friday episode of The Story Is however obtained pushed to subsequent week. Coincidentally, Michaelson shared clips of it on X — and posted the total YouTube hyperlink — proper after Trump lambasted Maher on Truth Social.
[Maher] was extraordinarily nervous, had ZERO confidence in himself and, to soothe his nerves, instantly, inside seconds, requested for a “Vodka Tonic.” He stated to me, “I’ve never felt like this before, I’m actually scared.” In one respect, it was considerably endearing! Anyway, we had an amazing dinner, it was fast, straightforward, and he appeared to be a pleasant man and, for his first present after our dinner, he was very respectful about our assembly — But with every thing I’ve executed in bringing our Country again from “OBLIVION,” why wouldn’t he be?
But then I seen his present began to devolve into the identical outdated story — Very boring, ANTI TRUMP, no point out of the PERFECT Border, Lowest Crime in 125 years, the Mass Removal of Stone Cold Criminals, the 50,000 DOW, the 7,000 S&P (Both Highest Ever!), Least Number of Murders since 1900, Venezuela, “Midnight Hammer,” Soleimani DEAD, al-Baghdadi DEAD, Lowest Inflation in YEARS (1.2% for final three months!), the Rebuilding of our Military, Eight War Stoppages, and on, and on, and on! In any occasion, it was a complete waste of time for me to have this jerk at the White House.
