Bill Maher hits back at Trump over lengthy post

Comedian Bill Maher has hit back at US President Donald Trump following a 1,318-word Truth Social post in which Trump called him a “complete and total loser”. Responding on Friday’s episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, the comedian mocked Trump’s lengthy remarks and addressed claims about their White House dinner. Maher said their meetings were intended for open conversations and disagreements, rather than personal attacks. Rejecting Trump’s claim that he frequently called the President, Maher said, “I’ve never called you, you call me. I’d be afraid to call you.” He also responded humorously to Trump’s description of him as a “major POTHEAD” and disputed the President’s interpretation of his views on Iran’s nuclear weapons. (ANI)
