‘The View’ Hosts Relish Bill Maher’s Feud With President Trump

Bill Maher has described himself as a moderate liberal for decades. However, he recently began to warm up to President Trump and his policies. The two shared an unexpected dinner together recently. However, the President backtracked on his praise of the television host in a scathing takedown. The View hosts relished the feud. Keep reading for all the details.

President Trump Blasts ‘Loser’ Bill Maher Weeks After Dining Together

Bill Maher has hosted his late-night HBO show for over 20 years. Before that, he hosted Politically Incorrect on Comedy Central and ABC. He spent years criticizing President Trump on the talk show and his podcast. However, that changed earlier this month when they had an unexpected encounter.

Bill Maher joined Stephen A. Smith and Kid Rock for dinner at the White House in October. After news of the dinner hit the press, Trump had rare praise for Bill Maher. He admitted that he likes Bill Maher and claimed that the talk show host likes him, too, but has to pretend otherwise to avoid backlash. Former White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt even appeared as a guest on Real Time with Bill Maher this week.

However, the truce between Bill Maher and the President didn’t last long. The talk show host made a joke at Trump’s expense in the opening monologue. “Trump said this is fair game. A 12-year-old rape victim is fair game? I know that looks bad. It sounds better on a birthday card to Jeffrey Epstein,” he joked.

Bill Maher was referencing President Trump’s comments about Ohio Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy running an ad targeting his opponent, Democrat Amy Action. The ad featured Amy Action’s estranged mother, who claimed her daughter was a liar.

An important piece of context is that Amy Action’s stepfather was arrested in the late 1970s after she accused him of sexual abuse. He was charged but fled with her mother before he could stand trial. Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad was slammed for seemingly accusing an alleged rape victim of lying. When asked for his thoughts, President Trump defended the ad, calling it “fair game.”

The View Hosts Relish Unexpected Feud

President Trump wasn’t happy about Bill Maher’s joke. He took to social media with a 1,000+ word rant about the host. “He’s not a nice guy, and what he spouts isn’t what he believes. He has to cater to his base, which is mostly composed of Losers, and people who don’t like working,” Trump wrote.

The feud was a hot topic on The View this week. The hosts relished the dispute between Bill Maher and President Trump. “What he expects from having people over to the White House for a four-hour boozy dinner is that they’re going to leave there and use their giant platforms to kiss his a**. When that doesn’t happen, he doesn’t like it,” Ana Navarro said.

Former Trump staffer Alyssa Farah Griffin said she would never go to the White House for a social dinner, but would as a journalist.  “If you can make a small benefit for good, I think you should do it,” she said.

Ana Navarro snapped at Alyssa Farah Griffin and Sara Haines during a previous discussion about Bill Maher’s dinner with President Trump.

The View hosts questioned how the President has so much free time to post such a long rant on social media. Bill Maher has yet to respond to Trump’s latest diss. Stay tuned for more on this developing story.
