President Donald Trump tore into comedian and HBO host Bill Maher late on Saturday, delivering a blistering review of Maher’s recent interview featuring Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA). Trump made his thoughts on the matter abundantly clear in a Truth Social post, trashing both Newsom and Maher before concluding that the latter, whom he dubbed a “moron” was still “slightly more talented than Jimmy Kimmel.” “I hate seeing Fox, and other Conservative Outlets, constantly making Low Rated Bill Maher ‘relevant’ as it pertains to the Republican Party, and beyond,” Trump began his pos with a complain about the number of people, even on the conservative side of the aisle, who appeared to take Maher seriously. “Bill Maher is a weak and ineffective person who I got to know very well during my dinner with him at the White House.” “He was nervous, scared, and the first words he uttered as he entered the Oval Office were, ‘Can I have a drink?’ It was very endearing but, at the same time, absolutely pathetic,” Trump added. “He was much different from what people think.” Trump went on to say that he’d taken the time to watch some of Newsom’s interview on Maher’s show — an interview in which Maher had repeatedly pressed Newsom, albeit in a friendly manner, about the California policies that most Americans might see as abject failures. “Last night, I happened to watch Gavin Newscum, an admittedly Low IQ person, who said he can’t read a speech, is dumb, and essentially, incompetent, and he took Bill Maher ‘over the coals,'” Trump said. “Bill Maher was defenseless, and totally deficient. Either he didn’t have the knowledge, or he choked, because Gavin went on and on about how good California is doing, while it’s doing very poorly, having, by far, the worst year it’s ever had where, for the first time in History, more people are leaving than coming. Bill Maher started by saying that California was doing poorly, only to have Newscum speak for an extended period of time, and lie about the facts.” “All you have to do is look at what’s happened to Los Angeles, San Francisco, the horrendous homeless problem all over every street, the Railway catastrophe that is Billions of Dollars over budget, and has never been built, the inability to rebuild the 25,000 homes that were destroyed by the fire because he refused to allow water into the street from the Southwest (If it weren’t for our Superstar EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, and me, they wouldn’t have any homes being built right now!),” Trump continued. The president’s conclusion was simple: “Fox should stop putting this person on. He’s not representing us. You look weak, stupid, and ineffective, and I hate seeing that. DON’T USE BILL MAHER ANY LONGER AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF YOU! I hate hearing that ‘Bill Maher said …’ — Bill Maher is a MORON, though slightly more talented than Jimmy Kimmel.” Trump has also been at war with Kimmel in recent weeks, calling on ABC to fire the late night comedian over a line directed at First Lady Melania Trump stating that she had “the glow of an expectant widow.” The “joke” angered the president and Melania, particularly since it came just 48 hours before yet another assassination attempt against Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner — but Kimmel has insisted that it was only meant to be a jab at the dramatic age difference between the pair.
