Bill Maher has fired back at critics furious over his latest White House dinner with Donald Trump, delivering a blunt message on HBO’s Real Time on October 23. “Yeah, I did it again, bitches,” the comedian declared after spending more than four hours dining with the president, before defiantly adding, “You know what? F*** you. I like these dinners.” Maher argued that meeting Trump face-to-face allows him to challenge the president directly, despite their frequent public clashes. He also poked fun at the thrill of being announced as a White House guest, joking about how an aide might introduce him. The dinner, attended by Stephen A. Smith and Kid Rock, has reignited debate over Maher’s unexpected rapport with Trump. The president has claimed Maher likes him “a lot more than people understand,” while Maher’s latest monologue made clear he has no plans to stop accepting the invitations.
