President Trump just obliterated Bill Maher in a very lengthy post. "You pushed for White House access, enjoyed the dinners, then ran back to your low-rated show and lied. You’re a gutless loser — don’t call again."
His point: Stop the two-faced act, own the low ratings and the dishonesty, and quit begging for access.
Other things President Trump is calling him out for:
• Two-faced after the dinners: Chuck LaBella (Maher’s friend/business associate who worked as a “gofer” on The Apprentice and benefited from its success) called Trump nonstop for years saying how much Maher “loves” and respects him and begging for meetings or for Trump to do the show. Trump met him twice at the White House but never agreed to appear on the show (which Maher wants desperately). After both dinners Maher went on air and attacked him.
• First dinner details: Maher was nervous and insecure, asked for a drink, and had a badly bruised eye and nose area (Trump notes it wasn’t from him). Afterward he wanted to come back immediately. LaBella kept calling. Trump says the White House is more beautiful now that he renovated and fixed it.
• Second dinner (with Kid Rock & Stephen A. Smith): Maher looked like hell, was drunk, and walked through the White House with alcohol in hand. Trump says it lasted about two hours (not four), everyone was happy, timestamps exist, but he learned nothing and felt it was a waste of time. He also wanted to tell Maher he’s a major pothead and needs to stop for his health.
• Reverted immediately: After the first dinner Maher did a relatively friendly first show, then went right back to his old ways. After the second dinner the show was “far worse” and he “went crazy.” Trump calls him gutless because he enjoyed every minute privately then performed for his audience.
• Dishonesty on ratings & GOP support: Maher claimed Trump has his lowest ratings and is losing the Republican Party. Trump cites CNN polls showing 98–99% GOP support (an all-time record high; Reagan was at 86%), Harry Enten calling him “the most influential president of the last century,” and another CNN poll ranking him the most popular person in Republican Party history (53% vs. Reagan 18%, Lincoln 8%). He says these are CNN polls from people not exactly friendly to him, so Maher is lying.
• Iran & other policy lies: Maher doesn’t think stopping Iran from getting a nuclear weapon was a good thing — Trump says that shows he’s not very smart. Maher also attacked successful Republican candidates even though Trump’s endorsement record is 98% in the House and 100% in the Senate. He spread falsehoods about illegal voters in California (20,000 found in just the last few days; the number could easily exceed 1,000,000).
• Karoline Leavitt: She was “GREAT” defending Trump and herself against a biased, dumb “SLEAZEBAG” interviewer, but it’s hard to keep up with lie after lie.
• Low ratings, canned laughter & fake base: The show is low-rated on equally low-rated HBO (which used to be a quality network but isn’t “HOT” anymore). Trump mocks the “Laughter Machine” (canned laughter) because people can’t actually think he’s funny. Maher caters to a small group of “fans” who are mostly losers and people
who don’t like working.
• Other specific pushback: Trump is not building a swimming pool in the White House Briefing Room and never intended to — he’s considering moving the press to free up badly needed space. He never took the criticism personally before, but after the second dinner he’s done. He never watched the show much and will never watch it again because it’s fake news.
• Final message: Don’t call anymore. Tell Chuck LaBella to stop. You’re a hopeless guy, a coward afraid to admit how well the country is running under Trump and how badly the Democrats almost destroyed the USA. If Trump hadn’t won, the country would be dead. Turn the laugh machine off. Republicans won’t cover you anymore because you’re not transformative — you’re a loser.
TRUMP: Accuses Bill Maher of lying about his Republican support, cites CNN poll showing 98 and 99% backing, tells Maher and Chuck LaBella to stop calling
