Bill Maher has teased that he’s got a lot to say about the experience following his dinner with President Donald Trump.
The “Real Time with Bill Maher” host, a longtime critic of the businessman-turned two-term president, took to X on Tuesday afternoon to report back on the meeting.
“Hey everybody, thank you for all the interest in my dinner with the president last night – I promise, all will be revealed on the next @RealTimers on April 11,” Maher wrote.
He added, “As it’s April 1 today, no one would believe what I said today anyway!”
County rock singer and staunch Trump supporter Kid Rock was also responsible for setting up the dinner between the two. Before their meeting, Trump expressed doubts about how the encounter would go in a Sunday night Truth Social post, saying Kid Rock suggested they confer, and “I really didn’t like the idea much, and don’t like it much now, but thought it would be interesting.”
He added, “The problem is, no matter how much he likes your Favorite President, ME, he will publicly proclaim what a terrible guy I am, etc., … Who knows, though, maybe I’ll be proven wrong? In any event, I’m doing a favor for a friend. I look forward to meeting with Bill Maher, Kid Rock and, I believe, even the Legendary Dana White will be present. It might be fun or, it might not, but you will be the first to know!”
For his part, Rock said Tuesday morning on “Fox & Friends” that “It could not have been better. Everyone was so surprised.”
He continued, “The president was so gracious. He took us up to the private residence and we saw the Gettysburg Address and the Lincoln bedroom, and I was like, ‘You’ve never been here, Bill?’ … We talked about things we had in common. Wokeness, securing the border. The president was asking him what he thought about policy going on with Iran and Israel and things.”
Rock said, “It blew my mind. I was very proud.”
