Maher Responds to Trump's Valentine's Day Rant
22 Feb
Summary
- Maher disputes Trump's account of their White House dinner.
- Trump claims Maher has Trump Derangement Syndrome.
- Maher vows to disprove TDS on his show's return.
Bill Maher addressed Donald Trump's recent social media posts concerning a dinner the two shared in April. Trump's extensive Truth Social post, published on February 14, accused Maher of being nervous and immediately requesting a vodka tonic during their White House meeting. Maher disputed this account, stating he drank a margarita and had a drink before dinner, not immediately. He also clarified that he never agreed to cease criticizing Trump, humorously comparing it to a date expecting favors after a meal.
Furthermore, Maher announced his intention to address Trump's claims in detail when 'Real Time' returns on March 6, following a week-long hiatus. During this upcoming segment, he plans to definitively disprove Trump's assertion that he suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome. Maher also noted receiving criticism from the left for his initial positive remarks about Trump in person, feeling caught between conflicting expectations.
