On Bill Maher's HBO show, Real Time With Bill Maher, he didn't hold back his feelings on Donald Trump and his MAGA fanbase.During the Friday, March 28, episode, the host slammed the right-wing politician's loyalists, accusing them of having "Trump devotion syndrome."
"Yeah, all these super macho guys eating the a** of another man," he quipped during the broadcast.

Days later, Donald Trump called out Bill Maher for criticizing him but made clear he is trying to put his feelings aside to please Kid Rock."I got a call from a very good guy and friend of mine, Kid Rock, asking me whether or not it would be possible for me to meet, in the White House, with Bill Maher," the commander-in-chief wrote in a Sunday, March 30, message on Truth Social. "I really didn't like the idea much and don't like it much now but thought it would be interesting."
Trump then pinpointed exactly why he isn't eager to sit down with the funnyman. "The problem is, no matter how much he likes your favorite president, ME, he will publicly proclaim what a terrible guy I am, etc., very much like the Democrats at my recent Address to the Joint Session of Congress, where I stated, correctly, that no matter what I said or did, they wouldn't stand, they wouldn't applaud, they wouldn't smile or laugh and certainly, they wouldn't be in any way 'nice,'" he noted. "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!" Trump teased.

Kid Rock recently spoke with Bill Maher during an episode of his "Club Random" podcast, where he claimed a meeting between Donald Trump and the television star "could set a huge precedent for the world."In a recent podcast installment, Maher defended his decision to meet with The Apprentice alum at the musician's request, explaining, "There will be lots of people on the left who will be like, 'How dare you talk to this man.' It's like f*** you, I'm not playing this game that you mean girls play.'"

Despite being a critic of Donald Trump, Bill Maher continuously condemns Democrats over their reactions to the right-wing leader."Someone must tell the usual suspects on the far left that the saying is, 'When you're in a hole, stop digging.' Not 'keep digging.' Talk about doubling down on what got you f***** in the first place," the A-lister said during his series in the days after the 2024 election.
"Even the one concession I've heard a few people on the losing side offer — that liberals should stop saying that Trump voters are stupid — comes with a kind of unspoken parentheses. 'We know they are stupid, just don't say it,'" he added.
