There’s been a buzz about Bill Maher having dinner with President Trump. The outspoken Trump critic got a private invite—and said yes. Maher didn’t care what his liberal fans thought. “F**k off,” he said. It’s the president. You go.
He brought something unexpected to the table. A list of every insult he ever hurled at Trump—signed copies. Maher isn’t pretending to be someone he’s not. But he knows when something’s bigger than politics.
Chris Cuomo brought it up recently on NewsNation. Maher broke down why he went. He’s friends with conservatives. He’s not afraid of disagreement.
He says the Left has gotten soft—afraid of being challenged. That fear, he says, feeds into authoritarian vibes. And then Maher dropped this: Trump is “the most effective politician” of our time.
He gave credit where it’s due. Like when Trump allegedly told the Taliban leader he’d kill him if Americans were harmed during the withdrawal. “Might be apocryphal,” Maher said. “But I loved it.”
To Maher, Trump leans into what he believes. That authenticity? It’s gold. Voters can smell a fake—and Trump doesn’t pretend.
Short version: Trump is real. That matters. Democrats haven’t had charisma like that since Obama. No one’s stepped up since.
Maher and Trump even talked about Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s controversial joke. If anyone else said it, they'd be canceled. But she’s protected—she’s a black female Democrat.
Maher nailed it. So did Trump. And honestly, we already knew both of those things.
