Trump knocks 'Low Rated' Bill Maher after criticism
Former President Trump knocked “Low Rated” comedian Bill Maher as “obnoxious and disgusting” Sunday and urged Fox News not to air footage of the HBO political talk show host in the future.
“I seldom watch Low Rated Bill Maher but, when I do, I marvel at the fake laughter on the Show. It sounds like a bad ‘Laugh Machine,’ it’s so obnoxious and disgusting, just like him, always laughing no matter what is said,” Trump wrote in a post on his social platform Truth Social.
“Real Republicans hate it when Fox puts Crazy Bill on, far too often, to show that the Left ‘agrees’ with us. Fox ought to GET SMART, and not use LOSERS like this! Also, they shouldn’t allow negative Ads,” Trump continued.
Maher, who hosts “Real Time with Bill Maher,” has criticized the Republican nominee at times on his show, and Friday repeated his prediction that Trump is “definitely going to lose” to Vice President Harris in November's election.
“I’m not even worried about it,” he said of the election, during a panel discussion on his HBO show.
One of his guests, writer Fran Lebowitz, pressed him on the prediction, asking, “You’re not even worried about it?”
“No, not at all,” Maher said, adding, “He’s definitely going to lose. You just feel it.”
Trump has fired back at Maher for making “sloppy and tired” attacks directed at him. Last week, Trump slammed Maher’s show as “increasingly boring” and said Maher was “really having a hard time coping with TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME,” a made-up condition that the former president and his supporters often ascribe to his outspoken critics.
The Hill has reached out to Maher's show for comment.
