Bill Maher Responds to Donald Trump's Remarks on Truth Social

Bill Maher responded to comments made by Donald Trump on Truth Social, where Trump mentioned Maher by name. In a post, Trump claimed to have 'taken out' several political opponents and suggested that Maher, along with other late-night hosts, would be next. Maher remarked during his show, 'I can always tell when the president is in a bad mood because he starts posting about me.' He also noted that Trump's approval rating is currently at 35 percent, with a disapproval rating of 60 percent, according to a YouGov/Economist poll. Maher countered Trump's claims about his show's ratings, stating, 'First of all, low ratings? Yours is 35 percent.' Maher fact-checked Trump's assertion that he uses a laugh track, emphasizing that his show is filmed in front of a live audience. The relationship between Maher and Trump has become more contentious over the years, with Maher previously describing Trump as 'gracious' but later criticizing his administration. The Daily Beast has reached out to the White House for comment.
