President Trump said heโs meeting with Bill Maher as a โfavorโ to his friend, Kid Rock.
โI got a call from a very good guy, and friend of mine, Kid Rock, asking me whether or not it would be possible for me to meet, in the White House, with Bill Maher, a man who has been unjustifiably critical of anything, or anyone, TRUMP,โ Trump said.
โI really didnโt like the idea much, and donโt like it much now, but thought it would be interesting. The problem is, no matter how much he likes your Favorite President, ME, he will publicly proclaim what a terrible guy I am, etc., very much like the Democrats at my recent Address to the Joint Session of Congress, where I stated, correctly, that no matter what I said or did, they wouldnโt stand, they wouldnโt applaud, they wouldnโt smile or laugh and, certainly, they wouldnโt be in any way โnice,’โ he continued.
โWho knows, though, maybe Iโll be proven wrong? In any event, Iโm doing a favor for a friend. I look forward to meeting with Bill Maher, Kid Rock and, I believe, even the Legendary Dana White will be present. It might be fun or, it might not, but you will be the first to know!โ he added.
Per NewsNation:
Comedian and commentator Bill Maher is not making any promises about what might be accomplished by having dinner with President Trump.
But he said itโs worthwhile to travel to the White House to meet with his longtime nemesis. Republican Trump famously filed suit against Maher for jokes the comedian made at his expense more than a decade ago; the suit was later dropped.
โI donโt have some sort of complex where I think I can heal America, I canโt. Letโs get that clear โ Iโm not going to be healing America,โ Maher told โThe Chris Cuomo Projectโ podcast. โBut if two guys who have been at each other for so long โฆ itโs kind of a Nixon to China thing.โ
The pending dinner with Trump was put together by musician Kid Rock, a Trump supporter who has been on Maherโs podcast, โClub Random.โ
Maher, a self-described โold school liberal,โ said Trumpโs handlers probably respect him for criticizing the Democratic Party and losing part of his audience in the process. The Los Angeles-based host of โReal Time with Bill Maherโ said he appreciates the honor of being invited to the White House to talk with the president.
โLetโs talk to each other face to face. Letโs stop shouting from 3,000 miles away,โ Maher said. โIf they expect me to be leaving in a MAGA hat, theyโre going to be very disappointed. But I know they donโt.โ

The Hill reports:
Trump sued Maher in 2013 for $5 million after Maher made a crass joke about Trumpโs mother and an orangutan. The suit was later dropped.
Maher first revealed during his podcast over the weekend that musician Kid Rock, who is Trumpโs friend and supporter, arranged for the two to break bread at the White House.
Itโs unclear when the dinner will take place, but Maher said he sees it as an opportunity to have an open dialogue, if not clear the air.
