In a lengthy Truth Social post, President Donald Trump lashed out at comedian Bill Maher, calling their 2019 White House dinner a 'total waste of time' and mocking Maher's low television ratings. Trump took issue with Maher's criticism of his prediction that China would eliminate hockey in Canada, calling the host 'a jerk' and 'a lightweight.' He also ridiculed Maher's claim that Trump seemed nervous during their meeting, stating he appeared 'extremely nervous' and requested a 'Vodka Tonic.' Trump wrote that Maher 'went on and on about the Hockey statement' and 'is no different than Kimmel, Fallon, or Colbert but, I must admit, slightly more talented!' He accused Maher of suffering from 'Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS!),' a disease he claimed 'there is nothing that will ever be done to cure him of.' Trump concluded by stating he'd 'much rather spend my time MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN than wasting it on him.' Maher, who dined with Trump at the White House in April 2019 arranged by Kid Rock, described the president as 'gracious and measured' at the time, though he still expressed a 'bad feeling' about the administration and stated he would remain critical. A spokesperson for Maher did not immediately comment.
