\n\tFollowing a public Valentine\u2019s Day breakup with his former pal Donald Trump<\/a>, Bill Maher<\/a> has shared his reaction to the president\u2019s recent rant.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Friday\u2019s episode of Real Time, the comedian joked he knows \u201chow women feel now\u201d after a guy buys them dinner and expects them to \u201cput out,\u201d after Trump referred to their March 2025 dinner<\/a> as \u201ca total waste of time<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI woke up Saturday morning to a blistering social media text from him, it went on and on\u2014Valentine\u2019s Day, by the way,\u201d he recounted. \u201cHe was very mad at me because I didn\u2019t get his joke about how China is gonna make Canada give up hockey\u2026 I didn\u2019t. I think we\u2019re gonna have to workshop that one for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMaher continued, \u201cSo, he went off on me and said, \u2018The dinner we had was a waste of time!\u2019\u2014well, I didn\u2019t think it was\u2014and that I\u2019m a jerk, and that I\u2019m a lightweight, and all this sh*t. Because I never stopped criticizing him. I never said I would. I know how women feel now, a guy buys you dinner and expects you to put out. I\u2019m not that guy.<\/p>\n

\n\tNoting that Trump \u201cof course\u201d accused him of having the made-up \u201cTrump Derangement Syndrome,\u201d Maher plans to disprove the diagnosis at end of his next show.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s so funny, because I got so much shit from the left for reporting honestly that in person, he was very different, very nice, very gracious<\/a>. And then he says, \u2018No, you were scared.\u2019 I\u2019m like the Democrats with an election, I just can\u2019t win,\u201d joked Maher.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter Maher explained last April on his show that he had dinner at the White House with Trump and mutual friend Kid Rock because it was \u201cbetter than hurling insults<\/a> from 3,000 miles away,\u201d Trump declared last weekend \u201cit was a total waste of time<\/a> for me to have this jerk at the White House.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Following a public Valentine\u2019s Day breakup with his former pal Donald Trump, Bill Maher has shared his reaction…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":606522,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[4087,69,171,4088,173,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-606521","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-bill-maher","9":"tag-donald-trump","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-real-time-with-bill-maher","12":"tag-tv","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116110366299940835","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606521","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=606521"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606521\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/606522"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=606521"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=606521"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=606521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
