Donald Trump Posts 1,300+ Word Diatribe About "Loser" Bill Maher
President Donald Trump published a lengthy social media post on October 26, 2026, attacking Bill Maher as a "complete and total loser," just nine days after the two had dinner together at the White House. The approximately 1,300-word post on Truth Social was prompted by Maher's comments on the Friday, October 24 episode of 'Real Time,' which featured former press secretary Karoline Leavitt. During that episode, Maher discussed Trump's low approval ratings and his leadership style. The critique also extended to HBO and producer Chuck LaBella, whom Trump claimed was formerly a "gofer" on 'The Apprentice.'
