Donald Trump Posts 1,300+ Word Sunday Night Diatribe About “Complete And Total Loser” Bill Maher, Nine Days After Praising Their “Great Dinner”

President Donald Trump unleashed a 1,300-word tirade on comedian Bill Maher on Sunday, calling the host a "complete and total loser" in a post on Truth Social. The scathing rebuke came after Maher discussed his October 15 dinner with Trump on Friday's episode of "Real Time With Bill Maher." During the show, Maher defended the meeting with the president while continuing to criticize and joke about him.

This has sparked criticism of Maher for engaging with Trump despite their political differences. Maher has argued that speaking directly with the president is worthwhile and that he enjoyed the experience. He also praised Maher's interactions with Trump's former press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who appeared on the show alongside Maher.

However, Maher's monologue also included a series of jokes and criticisms directed at Trump, mocking his approval ratings and recent comments about men's physiques. Trump responded to Maher's criticism, denying the length of the dinner and calling Maher a "hopeless guy" and "a coward" who was pandering to his audience. Trump disputed Maher's claim that the dinner lasted four hours, stating it was "two hours, maybe less."

In the post, Trump praised Leavitt's appearance on Maher's program, saying she had defended both herself and Trump "so well," but accused Maher of returning to his "old ways" after their meetings and criticized his comments on various subjects. Despite recounting their White House meetings, Trump made it clear he had little interest in another one, declaring, "You're not transformative, you're a Loser!"
