President Trump said he’s meeting with Bill Maher as a “favor” to his friend, Kid Rock.
“I 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,” Trump said.
“I really didn’t like the idea much, and don’t 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 wouldn’t stand, they wouldn’t applaud, they wouldn’t smile or laugh and, certainly, they wouldn’t be in any way ‘nice,’” he continued.
“Who knows, though, maybe I’ll be proven wrong? In any event, I’m 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!” 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 it’s 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.
“I don’t have some sort of complex where I think I can heal America, I can’t. Let’s get that clear — I’m not going to be healing America,” Maher told “The Chris Cuomo Project” podcast. “But if two guys who have been at each other for so long … it’s kind of a Nixon to China thing.”
The pending dinner with Trump was put together by musician Kid Rock, a Trump supporter who has been on Maher’s podcast, “Club Random.”
Maher, a self-described “old school liberal,” said Trump’s handlers probably respect him for criticizing the Democratic Party and losing part of his audience in the process. The Los Angeles-based host of “Real Time with Bill Maher” said he appreciates the honor of being invited to the White House to talk with the president.
“Let’s talk to each other face to face. Let’s stop shouting from 3,000 miles away,” Maher said. “If they expect me to be leaving in a MAGA hat, they’re going to be very disappointed. But I know they don’t.”

The Hill reports:
Trump sued Maher in 2013 for $5 million after Maher made a crass joke about Trump’s mother and an orangutan. The suit was later dropped.
Maher first revealed during his podcast over the weekend that musician Kid Rock, who is Trump’s friend and supporter, arranged for the two to break bread at the White House.
It’s 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.
