On Sunday, President Donald Trump said that he reluctantly plans to meet with Bill Maher, a liberal comedian who has been very critical of him over the years.
Maher revealed during a recent episode of his “Club Random” podcast that he took up a proposal from Kid Rock — a rock star who supports Trump — to meet with the president. On Truth Social, Trump said he would go through with the get-together as a favor to Kid Rock.
“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 don’t like it much now, but thought it would be interesting,” Trump said.
“The problem is,” Trump added, “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.'”
He ended the post by saying: “Who knows, though, maybe I’ll be proven wrong? 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 [UFC CEO] Dana White will be present. It might be fun or, it might not, but you will be the first to know!”
Trump did not provide a date for when the meeting will take place.
Maher, who has in the past been the subject of litigation filed by Trump and levied very harsh criticisms of the president, said that he expected to make people on the Left upset over the planned meeting. But the comedian emphasized that his side did lose the election and that people should talk despite their differences.
“It’s an honor to be invited to the White House under any circumstance,” Maher said.
