Liberal comedian Bill Maher said he will soon be meeting with President Donald Trump despite his criticism of the president in the past, and he doesn’t care what anyone on the Left thinks about it.
During an upcoming episode of “Club Random” podcast on Sunday, Maher and his guest podcaster Andrew Schulz talk about Trump’s re-election and the host reveals that he agreed to Kid Rock’s request to meet with the president at the White House.
“Kid Rock was here a couple of weeks ago, and he said, ‘I want you to meet Trump.’ He said, ‘I’m gonna take you to the White House,’” Maher said. “So now we’re gonna do that.”
Maher predicted leftists will get upset about him talking to Trump, but he doesn’t care.

“And there will be lots of people on the Left who will be like, ‘How dare you talk to this man.’ It’s like, f*** you, I’m not playing this game that you mean girls play,” Maher said. “‘Oh, you know what? You can’t sit at my lunch table because I’m just not talking to you.’ Not talking to you? You lost the election. Who the f*** do you think you have to talk to?”
“It’s one thing if you win it. It’s another thing if you lose it,” he added. “You have to talk to people.”
The liberal talk show host also took a dig at Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky’s disastrous meeting in the Oval Office and said he won’t be dressed like Zelensky, who many mocked after the leader showed up in non-formal attire for his White House meeting.
“It’s not going to be a black t-shirt. I am wearing a suit and tie,” he added, noting a suit Jordan Peterson once gave him. “The Jordan Peterson approved suit. It’s a sign of respect. It’s the White House.”
“And you also have to respect that the guy did win,” he added. “More than half the country. … You can not like Trump. You can hate him. You can’t hate everyone who voted for him. I said it in my last special, I don’t hate half the country and I don’t want to hate half the country.”
Maher reiterated that unlike other liberals, he will “talk to anybody” and “it’s an honor to be invited to the White House under any circumstance.”
The comedian previously made headlines when he shut down former CNN host Don Lemon’s racist comments about black supporters of Trump when Lemon said a “huge faction of the MAGA movement” are “really f***ing racist” and that you can’t be black “and be a rational MAGA person,” as previously reported.
