President Donald Trump went off on Fox News on Saturday for covering Bill Maher\u2019s conversation with California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) the night before, with Trump calling the Real Time host a \u201cMORON\u201d who \u201cchoked\u201d the big interview.<\/p>\n
Trump slammed Maher, Newsom, Fox News, and longtime enemy<\/a> Jimmy Kimmel in a blistering Truth Social post.<\/p>\n \u201cFox should stop putting this person on. He\u2019s not representing us. You look weak, stupid, and ineffective, and I hate seeing that,\u201d Trump posted. \u201cDON\u2019T USE BILL MAHER ANY LONGER AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF YOU! I hate hearing that \u201cBill Maher said\u2026\u201d \u2014 Bill Maher is a MORON, though slightly more talented than Jimmy Kimmel.\u201d<\/p>\n The president started the post off by saying he \u201chated\u201d seeing Fox News and other right-leaning outlets promote Maher. He said he got a good read on Maher when the HBO comic visited the White House for their much-publicized dinner<\/a> together last year \u2014 and that he wasn\u2019t too impressed with what he saw.<\/p>\n \u201cBill 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, \u2018Can I have a drink?’\u201d Trump said. \u201cIt was very endearing but, at the same time, absolutely pathetic.\u201d<\/p>\n He then accused Maher of botching his interview with Newsom \u2014 or \u201cNewscum\u201d as the president likes to call him \u2014 on Friday. Trump said that even though Newsom is \u201cdumb, and essentially, incompetent,\u201d he still raked Maher \u201cover the coals.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBill Maher was defenseless, and totally deficient. Either he didn\u2019t have the knowledge, or he choked, because Gavin went on and on about how good California is doing, while it\u2019s doing very poorly, having, by far, the worst year it\u2019s ever had where, for the first time in History, more people are leaving than coming,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n He continued<\/a>:<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n All you have to do is look at what\u2019s 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\u2019t for our Superstar EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, and me, they wouldn\u2019t have any homes being built right now!)<\/p>\n Trump made his anti-Fox News post at 7:12 p.m. ET, about 30 minutes after The Big Weekend Show talked about the Maher-Newsom interview.<\/p>\n Guest host Dr. Marc Siegel and co-host Tomi Lahren both gave Maher kudos for calling Newsom out for blemishes on his record, including California\u2019s high-speed train<\/a> that has cost tens of billions of dollars<\/a>, despite being about 0% finished.<\/p>\n Maher told Newsom his critics would point to some poor \u201cstats\u201d about California, and Newsom giddily responded \u201cgood!\u201d But Maher\u00a0told him there were multiple examples where that would clearly blow up in his face.<\/p>\n \u201cAre they gonna say \u2018good\u2019 about gas prices? Are they gonna say \u2018good\u2019 about how high the rents are?\u201d Maher said. \u201cI mean there\u2019s a whole litany \u2014 I mean the train, Gavin, you gotta get rid of the train. I say this as a friend, you gotta let the train go.\u201d<\/p>\n Lahren said she \u201cloved\u201d how Maher asked \u201csmug\u201d Newsom about it.<\/p>\n And Maher at another point in the interview confronted the liberal governor for \u201cimitating\u201d Trump on social media.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n Watch above via Fox News.<\/p>\n The post Trump Bashes Fox News for Promoting \u2018MORON\u2019 Bill Maher\u2019s Interview With Gavin Newsom: \u2018You Look Weak, Stupid, and Ineffective\u2019<\/a> first appeared on Mediaite<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"President Donald Trump went off on Fox News on Saturday for covering Bill Maher\u2019s conversation with California Gov.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":54557,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[147],"tags":[2184,3146,542,7501,65],"class_list":{"0":"post-54556","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gavin-newsom","8":"tag-bill-maher","9":"tag-fox-news","10":"tag-gavin-newsom","11":"tag-jimmy-kimmel","12":"tag-president-donald-trump"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@people\/116507844491683623","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54556","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54556"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54556\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54557"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54556"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54556"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54556"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
