Talk show host Bill Maher responded to President Trump\u2019s epic 1,318-word rant calling him a \u201ctotal loser\u201d <\/a>\u2013 comparing dining with the commander in chief to dating Taylor Swift.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, eating with Trump is like dating Taylor Swift. It\u2019s a lot of laughs at the time, but later on, they\u2019re tearing you a new a\u2013hole,\u201d the \u201cReal Time with Bill Maher\u201d host said on his HBO show Friday night, a nod to the singer\u2019s notorious propensity to shiv her exes in song. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe went off on me like Kelly Clarkson in a toy store,\u201d Maher said, referring to the infamous, headline-grabbing public tantrum inside a Brooklyn toy store. <\/a><\/p>\n

Maher\u2019s Oct. 15 dinner at the White House also included singer Kid Rock and ESPN sports analyst Stephen A. Smith. <\/p>\n

Last Sunday, Trump wrote on his Truth Social: \u201cLet\u2019s talk about this COMPLETE AND TOTAL LOSER, Bill Maher. He\u2019s got a Low Rated Show on equally Low Rated HBO, which was once, long ago, a Network of Quality and Excitement \u2014 But that\u2019s all gone. It\u2019s not \u2018HOT\u2019 anymore!\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Friday night\u2019s show, Maher said: \u201cLook, I don\u2019t want it to be this way. The whole point of having these dinners was talk, disagree, but listen, which he does in person, but don\u2019t hate each other. And then I go back to my job here and then the heartaches begin.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maher was handed a printed copy of Trump\u2019s Truth Social post, and then began to \u201caddress a few of the allegations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt begins, \u2018Let\u2019s talk about the complete and total loser Bill Maher.\u2019 You got me there. I\u2019ll own that,\u201d Maher deadpanned. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat pisses me off,\u201d Maher continued, is that Trump, \u201cdoesn\u2019t even notice what I say,\u201d referring to a line in the Truth Social post where the president wrote, \u201c[Maher] doesn\u2019t think it was a good thing to take the Nuclear Weapon away from Iran, which shows you that he is not very smart.\u201d \u201cReal Time\u201d then played clips where Maher agreed with Trump on the issue.<\/p>\n

The late-night funnyman continued: \u201cPage two, he talks about how I call him incessantly. I\u2019ve never called you, you call me. I\u2019d be afraid to call you. You\u2019re the president. I think you\u2019re too busy. Well, plainly not.\u201d<\/p>\n

He called the 1,318-word post, \u201cLongest ever \u2014 kind of a flex.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cDining at the White House is the opposite of the Cheesecake Factory. After you leave, they review you,\u201d he joked. <\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s takedown was apparently in response to Maher\u2019s monologue on his Oct. 23 show, in which he said, \u201cIt\u2019s just a little odd that Trump keeps gushing about men\u2019s bodies, and how handsome they are, and their jawlines, and their asses, their physiques.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a little hurt. I was there for dinner for four hours last week, and not a peep. Nothing,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Talk show host Bill Maher responded to President Trump\u2019s epic 1,318-word rant calling him a \u201ctotal loser\u201d \u2013…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":901364,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[10161,236,88,111,4915,3479,194],"class_list":["post-901363","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-bill-maher","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-politics","tag-taylor-swift","tag-trump","tag-us-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/901363","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=901363"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/901363\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/901364"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=901363"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=901363"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=901363"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
