Bill Maher reveals what Trump texted him after their White House dinner

Bill Maher responded on his HBO show after President Trump called their 2025 White House dinner a 'total waste of time' and criticized Maher's political stance.

  • On March 6, Bill Maher addressed multiple Truth Social posts from President Donald Trump and devoted a segment on HBO's Real Time to respond.
  • Arranged by Kid Rock, the White House dinner in 2025 was recalled by Maher, while Trump called it a 'total waste of time' in February.
  • According to Maher, Trump texted soon after their last year dinner to criticize Maher and praise his record, prompting a text argument. Maher said he replied he should have won 20 Emmys.
  • Maher defended his decision to dine with Trump despite left-leaning critics and said supporters who praised Maher thanked him for balancing views amid the dinner's portrayal on Truth Social.
  • The timing coincided with wider tensions as the posts occurred amid the United States' conflict with Iran, and Bill Maher tussled with author Sam Harris on Monday.
