‘Real Time’: Bill Maher Reacts To Trump’s “Longest Ever” 1,300+ Word Tweet Berating Him: “Kind Of A Flex”
Bill Maher responded on *Real Time* to Donald Trump’s 1,300-word social media post attacking him after the pair dined together earlier this month. Maher joked about the post’s length and insults, while saying the dinners were intended to allow them to talk and disagree in person.
Maher said he would not answer every allegation, but planned to address some of them, and conceded that Trump’s description of him as a “complete and total loser” was fair. The article also notes that Maher previously dined with Trump and Kid Rock last year; Trump later called that meeting a “total waste of time”, and the latest dinner included Stephen A. Smith.
In short
- Trump posted a 1,300-word attack on Bill Maher.
- Maher joked about its length on *Real Time*.
- He said their dinners were meant for candid conversation.
Explained simply
Bill Maher is an American comedian and television host whose programme, Real Time, often discusses US politics. Donald Trump is a former US president and a prominent political figure who regularly uses social media to criticise people and institutions.
Maher and Trump have met for dinners intended to let them talk despite their disagreements. Their earlier dinner, which included musician Kid Rock, was later described by Trump as a waste of time; a more recent one also included broadcaster Stephen A. Smith.
The exchanges matter because they draw attention to how public figures communicate across political differences, and to the role of social media in shaping those disputes.
