  "account": "Bill Maher responded to Donald Trump's lengthy rant on his Truth Social platform, criticizing the president's 1,300-word tirade. During HBO's \"Real Time\" show, Maher mocked Trump's Twitter post, calling it \"the longest ever.\" He then debunked several of Trump's claims, expressing frustration that the president \"doesn't even notice what I actually say.\"\n\nMaher recalled the two White House dinners they had, stating that Trump frequently trashed him as a \"complete and total loser\" and \"useless.\" He noted that Trump accused Maher of not calling him, to which Maher responded, \"As if you could do that. It's not like I'm just going to waltz into the White House.\"\n\nTrump's rant included accusations that Maher lied, that he lied to Trump during a dinner, and that he was \"drunk\" during their latest meeting. Maher defended his interactions with Trump, saying they were productive and that he enjoyed discussing issues with the president. Despite their tense history, the pair have had a brief truce in recent times.",
