Bill Maher appears to be on good terms with Trumpworld.
\n\nThe 70-year-old HBO host joined Kid Rock and Stephen A. Smith as President Trump’s White House dinner guests earlier this month, and, following the dinner, Trump intimated to reporters that Maher’s criticisms of him on his late-night program are mostly bluster, and he “likes me a lot more than people understand.”
\n\n“Yeah, I did it again, bitches,” Maher said about his four-hour dinner with Trump during his opening monologue on “Real Time” Friday night, adding, “You know what? Fuck you. I like these dinners.”
\n\nMaher then managed to land Karoline Leavitt, Trump’s former press secretary who left the post in August, as an interview guest on his show “Real Time.” It’s a curious pairing given that Maher had previously attacked Leavitt on his program following the then-press secretary’s defense of Trump shouting, “Quiet, piggy!” to Bloomberg News reporter Catherine Lucey when she questioned him about Jeffrey Epstein aboard Air Force One. Leavitt spun the incident by claiming, “It’s actually admirable. It’s the president being frank, open, and honest. It’s actually good,’” prompting Maher to jokingly remark to Leavitt, “Well, in that case: Shut up, bitch.”
\n\nAnd so, Maher welcomed Leavitt…
