Maher Cries More About Trump

President Donald Trump and comedian Bill Maher are once again trading shots — and this time, the exchange includes private text messages and a public rebuke on Truth Social.

Maher recently revealed that President Trump still contacts him directly, often reacting strongly to criticism aired on HBO’s Real Time. The long-running feud between the two public figures appears far from over.

Maher Says Trump Texts Him — “Yelling” Over Criticism

During a televised interview, Maher was asked whether he hears from President Trump after discussing him on his show.

Maher confirmed that he does — and described the tone as heated.

According to Maher, one message from Trump read:

“You’re still part of the lunatic left, I see.”

The comment reflects the broader tension between the president and major media personalities who frequently criticize his policies and leadership style.

For many Americans — especially those who have watched decades of media bias unfold — the exchange may not come as a surprise.

Trump Responds on Truth Social

President Trump did not stay silent.

In a weekend post on Truth Social, Trump addressed Maher directly, referencing a March 2025 White House dinner the two shared. Initially, Trump described Maher as “respectful” during their meeting and afterward.

However, the president said that once Maher returned to television, his show quickly shifted back to what Trump characterized as its usual anti-Trump tone.

Trump wrote that the program had become:

“Very boring, ANTI-TRUMP.”

He later added that inviting Maher to the White House ultimately felt like “a total waste of time.”

The post quickly gained attention online, fueling renewed discussion about the evolving relationship between entertainment figures and political leadership.

From White House Dinner to Public Feud

Last year’s White House dinner surprised many observers, given Maher’s long history of criticizing conservative policies and Republican leadership.

Some viewers saw the meeting as a rare moment of open dialogue. Others questioned whether it would lead to any lasting change in tone.

Based on recent developments, it appears tensions remain firmly in place.

Maher’s Recent White House Criticism

Earlier this month, Maher also criticized White House officials over their response to a controversial online video involving former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama.

Maher accused administration officials of hypocrisy and described their response as weak.

The incident added fuel to an already strained relationship.

The Bigger Political Picture

For voters age 50 and older, this public back-and-forth highlights something deeper than personal disagreement.

It reflects:

• The ongoing divide between legacy entertainment media and conservative leadership
• The rise of direct communication platforms like Truth Social
• A president who consistently responds directly to critics

Unlike previous administrations, President Trump has made it clear he will answer attacks publicly — and often personally.

Whether supporters see this as strength or critics view it as confrontation, one thing is certain: the media battles are not slowing down.

What This Means Going Forward

With political tensions remaining high and media scrutiny continuing, exchanges like this are likely to persist.

President Trump continues to use his platform to challenge critics head-on. Meanwhile, commentators like Maher continue offering sharp commentary to their audiences.

The clash between politics and entertainment is no longer occasional — it’s constant.

And for millions of Americans paying attention, it’s a reminder that the fight over influence, messaging, and leadership remains front and center.
