Donald Trump didn’t hold back as he hit out at his beloved Fox News for giving airtime to Bill Maher.
The Real Time host, 70, interviewed Gavin Newsom on Friday, May 1, as he criticized the California Governor, 58, for spending billions of dollars on a high-speed train despite it still being unfinished.
Fox News’ The Big Weekend Show talked about the interview as they praised Maher for going after Newsom. The 79-year-old president wasn’t happy with this and took to Truth Social to share his thoughts, even managing to hit out at Jimmy Kimmel in the process following his Melania Trump “widow” joke.
Posting on Social Media on Saturday, May 2, Trump wrote, “I hate seeing Fox, and other Conservative Outlets, constantly making Low Rated Bill Maher “relevant” as it pertains to the Republican Party, and beyond.
“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 suggested Maher was “much different from what people think” before going on to criticize the interview with Newsom.
“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.” Bill Maher was defenseless, and totally deficient,” the president fumed.
He continued, “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 suggested Fox News should stop commenting on Maher, saying “He’s not representing us.”

Addressing Fox News directly, the president continued, “You look weak, stupid, and ineffective, and I hate seeing that. DON’T USE BILL MAHER ANY LONGER AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF YOU!”
He also managed to hit out at his enemy Jimmy Kimmel as he wrapped up his post by saying, “I hate hearing that “Bill Maher said…” — Bill Maher is a MORON, though slightly more talented than Jimmy Kimmel. President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
Newsom attacked Trump during his sit down with Maher as he said, “He’s not doing anything to try to unite this country in any way, shape, or form. To me, that’s the biggest reflection of this moment, just the sewer we’re now living in because of Donald Trump.”
However, Maher suggested Newsom is actually more alike the president than he would like to admit.
