According to Deadline, Bill Maher took on Donald Trump's record-setting 1,300-word Truth Social post on Friday's episode of Real Time — the rant that branded the host a "complete and total loser" just nine days after Trump had praised their "great" White House dinner.
Trump's latest attack runs longer than a novella — about three pages of "who cares," in Maher's words — and Maher treated it like a Yelp review he was going to read aloud on camera. "Dining at the White House is the opposite of the Cheesecake Factory. After you leave, they review you," he said. It's the best sentence of the second dinner, and possibly the only one that survives the first dinner too.
Also in the monologue: the President went "off on me like Kelly Clarkson in a toy store," and eating dinner with Trump is "like dating Taylor Swift. It's a lot of laughs at the time, but later, they're tearing you a new asshole." Maher held up the physical printout of the post, which he called "a little long."
Asked to rebut the specific allegations, he conceded the "complete and total loser" line: "You got me there. OK, I'll own that one." That's the closest Maher has come to losing an argument with Trump since the first dinner, which was allegedly a "total waste of time" and a "great dinner" within the same week. Table set, knives out, and the bill — 1,300 words of it — arrived an hour later.
YOUR TURN: Would you read the 1,300-word review out loud on camera, or just delete it?
