There was one person on Donald Trump's Valentine's list this year who received a long and heartfelt message from the president and, surprisingly, it was late night television host Bill Maher.
That said, it was one of pure rage, with President Trump blasting Maher as a 'jerk' after being jilted by the comedian after he invited him over for dinner at the White House in April last year.
Clearly, the president had watched Maher's show on Friday night, where the host ridiculed his recent comments that China will 'terminate all ice hockey' if Canada signs a trade deal with the US' rival, to which the host simply said 'what the f***k?'
"I think this is the kinda thing that is causing his popularity to go down," Maher added. Seeing these comments, after having him over for dinner and inviting him to the White House Christmas party, Trump began his tirade by saying: "Sometimes in life you waste time!"
He then launched into his recollection of his dinner with Maher, painting him as an 'extremely nervous' man who 'asked for a vodka tonic' within moments of meeting the president.
Then Trump shared: "He said to me, 'I’ve never felt like this before, I’m actually scared'. In one respect, it was somewhat endearing."
Despite depicting Maher as doing everything but quake in his boots during the dinner, the president added that he had been 'very respectful' and had 'seemed to be a nice guy'.
However, in the new political order where friendship requires fealty, when Maher continued criticizing the Trump administration during his frequent media appearances, the president took it personally.
"But then I noticed his show started to devolve into the same old story – Very boring, ANTI TRUMP," he said in his Valentine's Day tirade, adding: "It was a total waste of time for me to have this jerk at the White House."
Bill Maher and Donald Trump have known each other for decades, here pictured at the 2004 Emmys (Kevin Winter/Getty Images) In the lengthy 500 word rant, he went on to claim that he had been joking when he claimed that China would 'eliminate' the Stanley Cup, but Maher had gone on about it at 'as though I were being serious.'
Despite having watched enough Real Time to know Maher's thoughts on his achievements, and calling him 'slightly more talented' than his rivals, Trump added: "Fortunately, his Television Ratings are so low that nobody will learn about his various Fake News statements about me."
President Trump's tirade against Bill Maher in full
Sometimes in life you waste time! T.V. Host Bill Maher asked to have dinner with me through one of his friends, also a friend of mine, and I agreed. He came into the famed Oval Office much different than I thought he would be.
He was extremely nervous, had ZERO confidence in himself and, to soothe his nerves, immediately, within seconds, asked for a “Vodka Tonic.” He said to me, “I’ve never felt like this before, I’m actually scared.” In one respect, it was somewhat endearing!
Anyway, we had a great dinner, it was quick, easy, and he seemed to be a nice guy and, for his first show after our dinner, he was very respectful about our meeting — But with everything I have done in bringing our Country back from “OBLIVION,” why wouldn’t he be?
But then I noticed his show started to devolve into the same old story — Very boring, ANTI TRUMP, no mention of the PERFECT Border, Lowest Crime in 125 years, the Mass Removal of Stone Cold Criminals, the 50,000 DOW, the 7,000 S&P (Both Highest Ever!), Least Number of Murders since 1900, Venezuela, “Midnight Hammer,” Soleimani DEAD, al-Baghdadi DEAD, Lowest Inflation in YEARS (1.2% for last three months!), the Rebuilding of our Military, Eight War Stoppages, and on, and on, and on!
In any event, it was a total waste of time for me to have this jerk at the White House and last night, after explaining what a DISASTER Canadian “Leaders” are to deal with, how Canada has “ripped off” the United States for years on TRADE (But not anymore!), I jokingly stated in a TRUTH that, “The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup.”
Well, he went on and on about the Hockey statement, like “What kind of a person would say such a foolish thing as this,” as though I were being serious when I said it. Fortunately, his Television Ratings are so low that nobody will learn about his various Fake News statements about me.
He is no different than Kimmel, Fallon, or Colbert but, I must admit, slightly more talented! Anyway, Bill Maher is a highly overrated LIGHTWEIGHT, and Republicans should stop using him to show how the Left is coming over our way — Our Base, the Greatest of All Time, laughs at your weakness when you do it! Maher asked me if he could come back to the White House again and, with his friend, also asked to come to the wonderful White House Christmas Party, but he didn’t.
Regardless, I’d much rather spend my time MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN than wasting it on him. Bill continues to suffer from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS!), and there is nothing that will ever be done to cure him of this very serious disease. Thank you for your attention to this minor matter! President DJT
