Despite Left-Wing Backlash, Bill Maher Wants Second Dinner With Trump

Comedian Bill Maher said on “Club Random” Monday that he would like to have a second dinner with President Donald Trump.

Maher attended a dinner at the White House with Trump in March, along with UFC President Dana White and musician Kid Rock, drawing left-wingbacklash. He said on his podcast that he appreciated Trump’s willingness to hear him out and not sever ties despite his criticism of the president.

“I hope to have dinner with him again. And he definitely doesn’t like it when you critique him and thinks you’re being unfair, but he is willing to listen,” Maher said. “And he totally is not — because I had dinner with him and then didn’t become a Trumpist, he will yell at me but does not want to cut me off. He does not want to cut me off, which is something I cannot say about the left. They want to cut you off.”

Maher also said on “Real Time with Bill Maher” on April 12 that Trump was more approachable than recent Democratic presidents, arguing that it was one of the reasons the party was so disliked.
