President Trump said he only invited longtime critic Bill Maher to the White House as a favor to good buddy 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 wrote in a lengthy Truth Social post Sunday night.
“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,” Trump said.
The president predicted Maher would behave similarly to the Democrats who protested his speech to a joint session of Congress earlier this month, recalling how they “wouldn’t stand, they wouldn’t applaud, they wouldn’t smile or laugh and, certainly, they wouldn’t be in any way ‘nice.’”
“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,” Trump said of the UFC boss also expected to attend.
“It might be fun or, it might not, but you will be the first to know!” he told his followers.
Maher defended his decision to meet Trump, which he also said was at the behest of rocker Kid Rock.
“There will be lots of people on the left who will be like, ‘How dare you talk to this man.’ It’s like f–k you, I’m not playing this game that you mean girls play,” Maher said on his “Club Random” podcast earlier this month.
“‘Oh, you know what? You can’t sit at my lunch table, because I’m just not talking to you.’ Not talking to you? You lost the election. Who the f–k do you think you have to talk to?”
“It’s one thing if you win it. It’s another thing if you lose it,” he added.
