Comedian Bill Maher who is known to be a staunch hater of President Donald Trump set tongues wagging when he went to the White House to meet the president. On Friday, at Real Time with Bill Maher , he delivered a monologue describing his meeting with Trump without any attempt to hide how charmed he was. He asserted that he did not turn MAGA and also because there was no pressure towards that.
Bill Maher appeared shocked and said everything that he did not like about Trump was not present on the night they met.
The White House dinner took place on March 31 and it was set up by Kid Rock. Many MAGA people were enraged that Bill Maher who always has his gun trained on MAGA went ahead to meet the President and White House too agreed to it.
'Trump was gracious and measured'
Bill Maher praised real-life Trump whom he met at the dinner table, not the one who appears on the television screen and said Trump was gracious and measured. All the criticisms he hurled on Trump came up at the dinner table, but Trump made it easy for him with his smile.
"OK, so meet up in person, maybe it'll be different. Spoiler alert, it was. First good sign, before I left for the capital, I had my staff collect and print out this list of almost 60 different insulting epithets that the president said about me. Things like: stupid, dummy, low-life dummy, sleazebag, sick, sad, stone-cold crazy. Really a dumb guy, fired like a dog, his show is dead," Maher said.
"I brought this to the White House because I wanted him to sign it, which he did. Which he did, with good humor, and I know as I say that, millions of liberal sphincters just tightened. Oh my god, Bill, are you gonna say something nice about him? What I'm gonna do is report exactly what happened. You decide what you think about it. And if that's not enough pure Trump hate for you, I don't give a (expletive)."
"So no, I didn't go MAGA. And to the president's credit, there was no pressure to. After we left the Oval Office, he showed me the little room off the office, you know, the one where Clinton used to ... the (expletive) room, OK? Well, not anymore. That's where they keep the merch now."
"I never felt I had to walk on eggshells around him, and honestly? I voted for Clinton and Obama but I would never feel comfortable talking to them the way I was able to talk with Donald Trump. That's just how it went down. Make of it what you will. Me? I feel it's emblematic of why the Democrats are so unpopular these days. He was even OK when I checked him on the orangutan lawsuit. He was. I know," he said.
