Trump lost his cool when he saw Fox News covering a late-night host and his interview with a Democratic governor.
Comedian Bill Maher interviewed California Gov. Gavin Newsom in an episode of his HBO show "Real Time" on Friday. In a Truth Social post on Saturday, Trump blasted the interview as well as Fox News for covering it the next day.
"I hate seeing Fox, and other Conservative Outlets, constantly making Low Rated Bill Maher 'relevant,'" Trump wrote. "Bill Maher is weak and ineffective person who I got to know very well during my dinner with him."
Maher dined with Trump at the White House last year, but that hasn't kept the two from trading blows since then. Trump is usually the one starting the fight, though.
In his Truth Social post, Trump said that Maher was "nervous, scared, and the first words he uttered as he entered the Oval Office were, 'Can I have a drink?' It was very endearing but, at the same time, absolutely pathetic."
His post also referred to "Gavin Newscum, an admittedly Low IQ person." Trump railed against the interview between Newsom and Maher, saying the late-night host was "defenseless, and totally deficient. Either he didn't have the knowledge, or he choked."
Maher isn't the only late-night host who has to deal with Trump's random ire. ABC and Disney are defending Jimmy Kimmel from calls by the president to have him fired and from the first lady to apologize for a small joke. However, Trump ended his latest tirade by saying, "Bill Maher is a MORON, though slightly more talented than Jimmy Kimmel."
