Trump has great dinner with smart people Bill Maher and Stephen A. Smith: They like Trump

WASHINGTON — President Trump said he dined Thursday night with comedian Bill Maher, musician Kid Rock and sports commentator Stephen A.Smith.“I think they had a good time.

We talked about everything, it lasted a long time,” Trump told reporters Friday as he left the White House for a campaign trip to Georgia.“Even though they have to sort of put on a certain little facade for their people, they like Trump, and I actually like them.We had a great time.”“We even took a little tour of the ballroom.

We went inside the ballroom with beams that are being put up over our heads,” the president added.“But it was a great dinner, it was a very informative dinner.Smart people.

Stephen A.is great.

Bill Maher, I tell you what, he likes me a lot more than people understand, and I actually like him.”News of the dinner was first reported on social media by the DC bar Madams Organ, which posted photos of Maher and Smith enjoying a live music performance.“Where did Bill Maher and Stephen A Smith go to celebrate Smith’s Birthday before their dinner date at the White House w His Orangeness? of course they came to enjoy a couple sets from KingPin Blues,” the bar wrote.Trump called Smith, who has toyed with running for president, a “low IQ individual,” an “arrogant fool” and “dumb as a rock” in June 2026 after the longtime sports commentator criticized Trump’s decision to attend a New York Knicks game.“You need a certain aptitude to run for president.You need a high IQ.

I’m not sure that Stephen has that.I don’t think he does, actually,” the president said at the time.Maher previously dined with Trump at the White House last year, saying afterward on his HBO show: “A crazy person does not live in the White House.
