Bill Maher recently dined with Donald Trump at the White House and shared his experience on HBO's Real Time. Despite their public disagreements, Maher described Trump as "gracious and measured," surprising him.
Maher recounted several instances of challenging Trump with jokes and differing viewpoints. He presented Trump with a list of insults Trump had made towards him, which Trump apparently signed. Maher's jokes, even those criticizing Trump's actions, were met with laughter from the former president.
In all cases, Trump reacted positively and didn't take offense, according to Maher.
Maher's account presents a contrasting image of Trump compared to his usual public persona. This unexpected interaction sparked discussion among viewers and political commentators.
