“Bill: Don’t Call Anymore” Trump Trashes Bill Maher In Record Breaking Truth Social Post
President Trump attacked "Real Time" host Bill Maher in a 1,300-word rant on Truth Social, calling the comedian a "COMPLETE AND TOTAL LOSER" after they recently had dinner together at the White House. In the post, Trump was upset - but said he could care less - about Maher’s show the following day, saying Maher was "not very smart," "not a nice guy, and what he spouts isn't what he believes."

Speaker 1: Hey there, folks. It is Monday, October 26th, and by our count, it's 1,322 words. And it is widely now believed to be the longest truth social post Trump has ever made. And who, who did he direct this entire post at? Welcome, everybody, to this episode of Amy and TJ. Um, He doesn't like this guy. What is his deal with this guy?
00:00:43
Speaker 2: I don't know.
00:00:44
Speaker 3: There is some history, but it doesn't seem like it's, as the kids say, that deep. Yeah, he has history with Bill Maher, and it seemed like they were friendly-ish, at least at the beginning of this year.
00:00:59
Speaker 2: I don't know.
00:01:01
Speaker 3: Obviously, this all came out of a second dinner that Bill Maher had at the White House, so if I mean, it seems like things were going okay.
00:01:11
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened. The post itself, what does that tell us about a man that busy to take the time to put this together? This is an essay. This is detailed. It's long. It's meandering. It goes a bunch of directions. It goes back years. What is this?
00:01:36
Speaker 2: People have described it as a rant.
00:01:37
Speaker 1: Okay.
00:01:39
Speaker 3: People have said that it is like, this is crazy. This is him putting his mental health on full display. I mean, that is how bizarre this is. Okay.
00:01:48
Speaker 1: That was almost the title I said we should have for this episode. Is this normal? No. All right. Go right ahead and dive in. And you can tell from the very first sentence, you almost scratch your head about, huh? It's like out of nowhere.
00:02:06
Speaker 2: Okay, so.
00:02:07
Speaker 1: Yes, let's begin, and we'll break it up a little bit.
00:02:09
Speaker 3: Big sigh, but yes, here's how it begins. Let's talk about this complete and total loser, Bill Maher. He's got a low-rated show on equally low-rated HBO, which was once, long ago, a network of quality and excitement.
00:02:24
Speaker 2: But that's all gone. It's not hot anymore.
00:02:27
Speaker 1: Okay.
00:02:29
Speaker 3: Mars friend and business associate Chuck LaBella was also a friend of mine, worked on the top hit show The Apprentice as a gopher. And because of the success of that show, number one and top rated on many weeks, with the finale being among the top shows of the year, he was automatically and quickly brought up through the ranks of NBC along with everyone else associated with that historic happening.
00:02:55
Speaker 1: Wow. So The Apprentice... made you, is what he's telling everybody.
00:03:02
Speaker 3: The success of The Apprentice was so great that everyone partook. It built many careers, and that is a wonderful thing. Some people say it even built my career because I became president. I would.
00:03:17
Speaker 2: president I would have.
00:03:18
Speaker 3: Won without it oh he just wanted you to know in any event over the last few years Labella would call me non-stop to say hello be very nice and tell me how much Bill Maher loves and respects me and would constantly ask of me even before I was president for any form of meeting with Maher and would I do his show when I became president I agreed to meet after the first one.
00:03:42
Speaker 2: And the last one, but never agreed to do his show, which he wants me to do desperately. It won't happen. When I have watched the show, which isn't often.
00:03:51
Speaker 1: This is, oh my goodness.
00:03:53
Speaker 3: It always ends with dishonesty, about me at least.
00:03:56
Speaker 2: But who cares? He doesn't think it was a.
00:03:58
Speaker 3: Good thing to take the nuclear weapon away from Iran, which shows you that he's not very smart. If I allowed them to obtain a nuclear weapon, the world would be a different place right now.
00:04:07
Speaker 1: What is happening?
00:04:09
Speaker 3: Using fake polls, he also said, I had my lowest rating so far, and even the Republican Party doesn't like him. But that's not true. I have high ratings. And more importantly, he said that I'm losing the support and approval of the Republican Party when, in fact, CNN just came out with a poll showing that I'm at 98 and 99 support within the Republican Party, an all-time record high.
00:04:36
Speaker 2: That's not true.
00:04:40
Speaker 1: I don't know what he's quoting. He's talking about popularity among Republicans. But no, no, I don't know what he is quoting.
00:04:45
Speaker 3: He's comparing that 98% to 99% support that he's attributing to CNN. He is saying Ronald Reagan was at 86%. CNN's Harry Enten also said, I am the most influential president of the last century.
00:05:04
Speaker 2: CNN did another poll saying, at who was.
00:05:07
Speaker 3: The most popular person in the history of the Republican Party, and I won that too, with me being at 53%, Ronald Reagan being at 18%, and Abraham Lincoln being at 8%.
00:05:16
Speaker 2: He wrote up Lincoln.
00:05:21
Speaker 3: And these are CNN polls, people not exactly in love with me. So Bill Maher lied, but he lies about everything. And I believe he lied to me when I asked him with all the applause and laughter he gets after almost everything he says about things that aren't funny or even any good. What laughter machine does he use? People can't think he's funny. I didn't know Bill, he didn't know me, and that was okay. Then Chuck LaBella and my friend Kid Rock called me incessantly about meeting with Bill Maher. My first response was, fellas, this guy is a goofball. They said he wants to go down to the White House, be with you, and talk. He said you're very smart, but you're not into the liberal platform. Will you start thinking about it? He invited himself to the White House. We had our first meeting. Bill was very nervous. He asked for a drink. He was very insecure and he had a seriously bruised eye and nose area as though somebody had just beaten him up. But it wasn't me.
00:06:25
Speaker 1: Okay.
00:06:26
Speaker 2: What's happening right now?
00:06:27
Speaker 1: Let us take a beat. And folks, it is strange to say he's just getting started. Robes, what is happening here? My head is spinning. What sense can you make of the president of the United States getting this out?
00:06:42
Speaker 3: What time of day did he post this?
00:06:44
Speaker 1: I think it was around 8 at night, actually.
00:06:45
Speaker 3: Okay, so I'm going with my sundowners theory that I've been sticking to for some time now. And this is a known condition, syndrome, that happens to people when they reach a certain age. And let us remember, President Trump is 80 years old. We have seen him get downright... bizarre, erratic, irrational, nonsensical, on his true social later at night.
00:07:14
Speaker 1: It was 8 p.m. What is this, down or what is it called?
00:07:17
Speaker 3: When the sun sets, people of a certain age, and I can go pull up the actual medical definition, but basically it's called sundowner syndrome.
00:07:26
Speaker 2: And this is just a known entity.
00:07:28
Speaker 3: Anyone who's had aging grandparents or aging parents or has worked in a nursing home, which I volunteered at when I was in high school, you would be told about this where, yes, it absolutely neurologically affects folks.
00:07:39
Speaker 2: Okay, you've got it in front of you. What's the definition?
00:07:45
Speaker 1: Behavioral changes and increased confusion that occurs during the late afternoon, evening, or nighttime in people who might have dementia.
00:07:55
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly. That's what this seems like to me.
00:08:02
Speaker 3: I can't think of another explanation because as you said, everyone listening, there's.
00:08:08
Speaker 2: A whole other long tirade and it only gets more bizarre.
00:08:15
Speaker 1: Agitation, irritability, anxiety, mood swings, energy surge, increased confusion, delusions, challenging behavior. Good God, baby. This is a thing.
00:08:31
Speaker 2: It is a thing.
00:08:32
Speaker 3: And he would be in the right age, but we all know he had that cognitive test that showed he was an extreme genius.
00:08:40
Speaker 1: Yes, he was 30 for 30. Picking out which one was the squirrel and which one was the tiger.
00:08:45
Speaker 2: Right.
00:08:47
Speaker 1: If you all go back and find that episode on our feed, it's worth it. All right, you want to pick up? Here, where are we?
00:08:54
Speaker 2: No sooner, I've got it.
00:08:55
Speaker 1: All right, go ahead.
00:08:55
Speaker 3: No sooner had we had that first dinner at the White House, which is a very seductive and beautiful place, especially now that I have fully renovated and fixed it in the style which it deserves, Bill wanted to come back. Robes!
00:09:11
Speaker 1: The people's house is very seductive. Like, what is happening? Okay, this is now getting, it's more fun than I thought it was. All right.
00:09:18
Speaker 3: The gopher called me multiple times saying how much Bill loves me, that he respects me more than anybody and wants to come back for a second meeting. After 10 calls from Chuck LaBella, It seemed that these guys were serious and wanted to learn more because their policies are so bad.
00:09:33
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous.
00:09:35
Speaker 3: Also, I wanted to tell Bill that he's a major pothead. He's got to stop. It's very bad for his health. He looked like hell this time. Bill was drunk and had alcohol in his hand as he walked through the White House.
00:09:46
Speaker 2: Stephen A.
00:09:47
Speaker 3: Smith and Kid Rock came along with him. Overall, I thought it was a good meeting. It didn't last four hours. It lasted two hours, maybe less, and everybody was happy. We have the time stamps i learned nothing and felt it was a waste of time After the first dinner, Bill Maher was friendly. I guess everyone walked away pleased. He gave me a good first show with lots of laughing machine laughter, which is a real term. But it is what it is, and then reverted back to his former self and his old ways.
00:10:14
Speaker 2: I understand that.
00:10:15
Speaker 3: He's doing his thing. I never took it very personally. I would always mock his low ratings whenever I heard. He's not a nice guy, and what he spouts isn't what he believes. He has to cater to his base, which is mostly composed of losers and people who don't like working. It's why for so long I didn't get another call from Chuck LaBella and I didn't miss him one bit. After the second dinner, Bill's show was far worse than the first.
00:10:42
Speaker 2: He went crazy. He's gutless because he enjoyed every minute.
00:10:47
Speaker 3: Also, I am not building a swimming pool in the White House briefing room and never had any intention of doing so. I am thinking about moving the press and putting them in a different location. but I will use that location for a very badly needed space. Bill also attacked our great Republican candidates, which he knows my endorsement record is 98% in the House and 100% in the Senate.
00:11:11
Speaker 2: So how can he make a false statement like this?
00:11:13
Speaker 3: These statistics are facts, and he should speak about them, but he won't because he is very unfair.
00:11:18
Speaker 1: All right, take a peek. Oh, my God. Robes, he's all over the place. Now, what is... This is just funny. Something we want to get off his chest and we should leave it at that and move on. Is that what this is? Who cares? President went off on social media. He took the time to do it. Didn't take that long. What do you make of this, baby?
00:11:39
Speaker 3: If people listening could see the look on my face as you're trying to make a valid.
00:11:44
Speaker 2: Excuse, there isn't a way.
00:11:48
Speaker 3: To understand this except for what it is it is the rantings of someone who is lost touch with reality this does not make sense this is so strange this is bizarre behavior this is certainly not behavior becoming of a president at the least.
00:12:08
Speaker 1: It's bizarre no matter what at the very minimum it's bizarre on the other end of that it's alarming But let's just stick to bizarre for a second. What is it in him that, Ropes, he is writing in detail. He's writing left and right. There's a swimming pool. I'm moving the press. There's poll numbers of his and his record on this. Ropes, what is this? What message is he trying to get out? What is he trying to say? Is he just venting?
00:12:39
Speaker 2: He's defending himself.
00:12:41
Speaker 3: He thought that Bill Maher liked him, and he felt betrayed by Bill Maher, who went on his... show the day after having dinner. This was last Friday. And he started talking about how he had low ratings and all of this stuff. And the president felt betrayed. The president felt gut punched. The president felt like he was hospitable and let this man for not once, but twice into his house. And this is what thanks he gets. So he is so angry. And so he's trying to say, I don't care what he says, and his show sucks, but let me refute point by point everything that Bill Maher said on his show.
00:13:19
Speaker 1: Well, I was over here trying to find a legit answer. Didn't you give me a better one than I came up with? He feels betrayed, and this is him venting about it.
00:13:27
Speaker 3: Yes.
00:13:28
Speaker 1: You think nothing wrong with that?
00:13:30
Speaker 2: Yes, there is something wrong with that. This is childish. It's an absolute... You were supposed to be leading.
00:13:39
Speaker 3: in a way that's presidential, not in a way that's what a kindergartner or, you know, someone who is that angry that would send you some bizarre. Look, when I always, if you broke up with somebody or a friendship ended, when somebody goes wild and crazy on you because you want to part ways or things didn't work out, there's something going on inside that person there.
00:13:59
Speaker 2: It's frightening.
00:14:00
Speaker 3: And so when you see someone act this way, when they don't get their way, or they feel like something, someone didn't do something they wanted them to do, This is childish behavior.
00:14:11
Speaker 1: And it didn't end there. Stay here. We'll give you the last chunk of the post. And the name-calling continued.
00:14:29
Speaker 3: Welcome back, everyone, to Amy and T.J., The president just went off on Bill Maher, and that's not an understatement. He spent 1,300-plus words. How many pages on his true social account did this take up where he just ripped apart Bill Maher because, yes, Bill Maher had just come to the White House for dinner for the second time, didn't like what Bill Maher had to say about him on his show the following day, and the president let him and the world know it.
00:15:02
Speaker 1: And Rose, this took time. Who composed this? Who?
00:15:08
Speaker 3: Natalie. Natalie Harp?
00:15:09
Speaker 1: Did she really write this out and give him versions? Because this sounds like his voice.
00:15:14
Speaker 2: It does sound like his voice. Very much so.
00:15:16
Speaker 1: Did he sit down and write this thing out?
00:15:18
Speaker 3: I could see him saying it and she's transcribing it. Like that's in my mind how it all happens. He just spouts off and she just takes it down verbatim. Maybe she records him and then transcribes it and puts it up for the world to see.
00:15:32
Speaker 1: Oh, this is the last chunk now. We will share. This is how he wrapped up what is his longest truth social post ever.
00:15:42
Speaker 3: Carolyn Leavitt was great on the show, but she started with a biased, dumb, sleazebag asking questions. She defended me and herself so well, but couldn't be comfortable going against.
00:15:53
Speaker 2: Lie after lie.
00:15:54
Speaker 3: Importantly, Bill lied about all of the illegal voters into the radical, controlled, decrepit, and devastated state of California. Just in the last few days alone, they found 20,000, and the number could easily go to.
00:16:06
Speaker 2: Over 1 million.
00:16:08
Speaker 3: Okay. There were so many other falsehoods Bill spewed, but I won't waste time in fact-checking him.
00:16:15
Speaker 2: He isn't worth it.
00:16:17
Speaker 3: Okay, 1,300 words, though, says he kind of is.
00:16:19
Speaker 1: Isn't that crazy? He had another one up top that said, I don't care.
00:16:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously you do. Okay, here he goes. Bill, don't call anymore. It's useless.
00:16:29
Speaker 3: And tell Chuck LaBella not to call so much. And say how much you love Trump and want to get together because you're a hopeless guy who was just trying to cater to your small group of fans.
00:16:39
Speaker 1: Robes, that is a college breakup text.
00:16:44
Speaker 3: Yes, it is. He is so upset that Bill Maher said shit about him after he had him over.
00:16:50
Speaker 2: He feels so hurt and wounded. This is how he reacts.
00:16:54
Speaker 1: Don't call anymore.
00:16:55
Speaker 2: Don't call anymore. I'm blocking you.
00:16:57
Speaker 1: And then tell your friend, tell your friend, Chuck, don't call anymore either. I don't care how much you love me and want to get together. You're hopeless.
00:17:06
Speaker 3: What?
00:17:07
Speaker 2: Exactly. This is like a middle schooler.
00:17:10
Speaker 1: That's bizarre. Bill, don't call anymore. Do you have to put that out publicly? It's like he really is wanting to.
00:17:17
Speaker 3: It is.
00:17:18
Speaker 1: What in God's name is happening?
00:17:21
Speaker 2: This is crazy.
00:17:23
Speaker 3: He goes on to say, you're also a coward who is afraid to tell the truth about how well our country is running because of your few fans and how badly the Democrats have done almost destroying the USA.
00:17:35
Speaker 2: If I hadn't won the election, it would be dead.
00:17:37
Speaker 3: Oh, boy.
00:17:38
Speaker 2: Also, turn your laugh machine off.
00:17:40
Speaker 3: It's a joke when they laugh uncontrollably, even when you say nothing funny. And I'm going to have the Republicans not cover you anymore because they try to talk about you as a guy who is transformative.
00:17:51
Speaker 2: You're not transformative. You're a loser. I never watched your.
00:17:55
Speaker 3: Show much, but I will never watch it again because it is nothing more than fake news that America and the world is unfortunately subjected to. Thank you for your attention to this matter, President Donald J. Trump.
00:18:08
Speaker 2: Does he not see how obvious he is?
00:18:11
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe it feels good to just be able to use your pulpit, bully pulpit, and call somebody a loser. Call somebody a sleazebag. Tell them you're not watching the show anymore. Say, don't call anymore. Don't have your friend call anymore. It's over.
00:18:30
Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
00:18:31
Speaker 1: We're looking at it all wrong. Why don't you just laugh at it instead of be heartbroken by it? This is, you just don't want, you can't defend that. I can't defend it.
00:18:41
Speaker 2: This is so emotional.
00:18:42
Speaker 3: It is.
00:18:43
Speaker 2: This is so emotional.
00:18:44
Speaker 1: Why? This is an 80-year-old guy and a 70-year-old guy fighting on social media.
00:18:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you put it like that, that is so pathetic. That is so pathetic.
00:18:54
Speaker 1: Bill, don't call anymore.
00:18:56
Speaker 3: No.
00:18:59
Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
00:18:59
Speaker 3: I think that has to be the title of this episode.
00:19:03
Speaker 1: You can fill in some of these blanks with any girl and guy that you know.
00:19:11
Speaker 2: This was a middle school breakup.
00:19:13
Speaker 3: Bill Maher and President Trump.
00:19:15
Speaker 1: As of this recording, we didn't see a response of Bill Maher. If he's smart, he'll save it for his show.
00:19:20
Speaker 3: That's exactly right.
00:19:22
Speaker 1: If he's doing the right thing, that's what he's going to do. But I don't know if we're going to hear more about this. Or if the president's been asked about this yesterday and we haven't seen. But this is, with all we've got going on, this was important to the president. Who was it we were listening to recently? S.E. Cupp, I think it was, on CNN, talking about when she talks to folks, he's focused on things that aren't me. Ballroom. That's a really big deal to him.
00:19:48
Speaker 2: Reflecting pool.
00:19:49
Speaker 1: Big deal to him. He's putting his energy and effort into a helipad.
00:19:55
Speaker 2: Arc de Trump.
00:19:56
Speaker 1: All these things he's fighting for. There's a golf course he's working on now and fighting for. Getting his name to Kennedy Center stuff. Big things that we know, babe, he is fighting for. We hear him talk about every day. And then this, the longest social media post of his presidency, is on this guy. Not about food prices, inflation, and gas prices. No, no, no, no. I don't know how much this makes an impact or how much attention this will get, but this is another right before the midterm indication of where his head is. And it's very few times it's on Bill Maher. It's on Nicki Minaj's ass. It's on Senator Husta's ass. It's on everything else. Bill Maher? Please, Mr. President. Please. But apparently it's over. Well, he broke up with Elon, too, once, and they got back together.
00:20:55
Speaker 3: They did.
00:20:55
Speaker 2: They got back together. There's hope. Keep hope alive.
00:20:58
Speaker 3: All right.
00:20:58
Speaker 1: Get a third dinner.
00:21:01
Speaker 2: Oh, he said, there will be no third dinner.
00:21:04
Speaker 1: All right.
00:21:04
Speaker 3: And with that, everyone, we always appreciate you listening to us. I'm Amy Robach, alongside TJ Holmes. We'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 1: Hey there, folks. It is Monday, October 26th, and by our count, it's 1,322 words. And it is widely now believed to be the longest truth social post Trump has ever made. And who, who did he direct this entire post at? Welcome, everybody, to this episode of Amy and TJ. Um, He doesn't like this guy. What is his deal with this guy?
00:00:43
Speaker 2: I don't know.
00:00:44
Speaker 3: There is some history, but it doesn't seem like it's, as the kids say, that deep. Yeah, he has history with Bill Maher, and it seemed like they were friendly-ish, at least at the beginning of this year.
00:00:59
Speaker 2: I don't know.
00:01:01
Speaker 3: Obviously, this all came out of a second dinner that Bill Maher had at the White House, so if I mean, it seems like things were going okay.
00:01:11
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened. The post itself, what does that tell us about a man that busy to take the time to put this together? This is an essay. This is detailed. It's long. It's meandering. It goes a bunch of directions. It goes back years. What is this?
00:01:36
Speaker 2: People have described it as a rant.
00:01:37
Speaker 1: Okay.
00:01:39
Speaker 3: People have said that it is like, this is crazy. This is him putting his mental health on full display. I mean, that is how bizarre this is. Okay.
00:01:48
Speaker 1: That was almost the title I said we should have for this episode. Is this normal? No. All right. Go right ahead and dive in. And you can tell from the very first sentence, you almost scratch your head about, huh? It's like out of nowhere.
00:02:06
Speaker 2: Okay, so.
00:02:07
Speaker 1: Yes, let's begin, and we'll break it up a little bit.
00:02:09
Speaker 3: Big sigh, but yes, here's how it begins. Let's talk about this complete and total loser, Bill Maher. He's got a low-rated show on equally low-rated HBO, which was once, long ago, a network of quality and excitement.
00:02:24
Speaker 2: But that's all gone. It's not hot anymore.
00:02:27
Speaker 1: Okay.
00:02:29
Speaker 3: Mars friend and business associate Chuck LaBella was also a friend of mine, worked on the top hit show The Apprentice as a gopher. And because of the success of that show, number one and top rated on many weeks, with the finale being among the top shows of the year, he was automatically and quickly brought up through the ranks of NBC along with everyone else associated with that historic happening.
00:02:55
Speaker 1: Wow. So The Apprentice... made you, is what he's telling everybody.
00:03:02
Speaker 3: The success of The Apprentice was so great that everyone partook. It built many careers, and that is a wonderful thing. Some people say it even built my career because I became president. I would.
00:03:17
Speaker 2: president I would have.
00:03:18
Speaker 3: Won without it oh he just wanted you to know in any event over the last few years Labella would call me non-stop to say hello be very nice and tell me how much Bill Maher loves and respects me and would constantly ask of me even before I was president for any form of meeting with Maher and would I do his show when I became president I agreed to meet after the first one.
00:03:42
Speaker 2: And the last one, but never agreed to do his show, which he wants me to do desperately. It won't happen. When I have watched the show, which isn't often.
00:03:51
Speaker 1: This is, oh my goodness.
00:03:53
Speaker 3: It always ends with dishonesty, about me at least.
00:03:56
Speaker 2: But who cares? He doesn't think it was a.
00:03:58
Speaker 3: Good thing to take the nuclear weapon away from Iran, which shows you that he's not very smart. If I allowed them to obtain a nuclear weapon, the world would be a different place right now.
00:04:07
Speaker 1: What is happening?
00:04:09
Speaker 3: Using fake polls, he also said, I had my lowest rating so far, and even the Republican Party doesn't like him. But that's not true. I have high ratings. And more importantly, he said that I'm losing the support and approval of the Republican Party when, in fact, CNN just came out with a poll showing that I'm at 98 and 99 support within the Republican Party, an all-time record high.
00:04:36
Speaker 2: That's not true.
00:04:40
Speaker 1: I don't know what he's quoting. He's talking about popularity among Republicans. But no, no, I don't know what he is quoting.
00:04:45
Speaker 3: He's comparing that 98% to 99% support that he's attributing to CNN. He is saying Ronald Reagan was at 86%. CNN's Harry Enten also said, I am the most influential president of the last century.
00:05:04
Speaker 2: CNN did another poll saying, at who was.
00:05:07
Speaker 3: The most popular person in the history of the Republican Party, and I won that too, with me being at 53%, Ronald Reagan being at 18%, and Abraham Lincoln being at 8%.
00:05:16
Speaker 2: He wrote up Lincoln.
00:05:21
Speaker 3: And these are CNN polls, people not exactly in love with me. So Bill Maher lied, but he lies about everything. And I believe he lied to me when I asked him with all the applause and laughter he gets after almost everything he says about things that aren't funny or even any good. What laughter machine does he use? People can't think he's funny. I didn't know Bill, he didn't know me, and that was okay. Then Chuck LaBella and my friend Kid Rock called me incessantly about meeting with Bill Maher. My first response was, fellas, this guy is a goofball. They said he wants to go down to the White House, be with you, and talk. He said you're very smart, but you're not into the liberal platform. Will you start thinking about it? He invited himself to the White House. We had our first meeting. Bill was very nervous. He asked for a drink. He was very insecure and he had a seriously bruised eye and nose area as though somebody had just beaten him up. But it wasn't me.
00:06:25
Speaker 1: Okay.
00:06:26
Speaker 2: What's happening right now?
00:06:27
Speaker 1: Let us take a beat. And folks, it is strange to say he's just getting started. Robes, what is happening here? My head is spinning. What sense can you make of the president of the United States getting this out?
00:06:42
Speaker 3: What time of day did he post this?
00:06:44
Speaker 1: I think it was around 8 at night, actually.
00:06:45
Speaker 3: Okay, so I'm going with my sundowners theory that I've been sticking to for some time now. And this is a known condition, syndrome, that happens to people when they reach a certain age. And let us remember, President Trump is 80 years old. We have seen him get downright... bizarre, erratic, irrational, nonsensical, on his true social later at night.
00:07:14
Speaker 1: It was 8 p.m. What is this, down or what is it called?
00:07:17
Speaker 3: When the sun sets, people of a certain age, and I can go pull up the actual medical definition, but basically it's called sundowner syndrome.
00:07:26
Speaker 2: And this is just a known entity.
00:07:28
Speaker 3: Anyone who's had aging grandparents or aging parents or has worked in a nursing home, which I volunteered at when I was in high school, you would be told about this where, yes, it absolutely neurologically affects folks.
00:07:39
Speaker 2: Okay, you've got it in front of you. What's the definition?
00:07:45
Speaker 1: Behavioral changes and increased confusion that occurs during the late afternoon, evening, or nighttime in people who might have dementia.
00:07:55
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly. That's what this seems like to me.
00:08:02
Speaker 3: I can't think of another explanation because as you said, everyone listening, there's.
00:08:08
Speaker 2: A whole other long tirade and it only gets more bizarre.
00:08:15
Speaker 1: Agitation, irritability, anxiety, mood swings, energy surge, increased confusion, delusions, challenging behavior. Good God, baby. This is a thing.
00:08:31
Speaker 2: It is a thing.
00:08:32
Speaker 3: And he would be in the right age, but we all know he had that cognitive test that showed he was an extreme genius.
00:08:40
Speaker 1: Yes, he was 30 for 30. Picking out which one was the squirrel and which one was the tiger.
00:08:45
Speaker 2: Right.
00:08:47
Speaker 1: If you all go back and find that episode on our feed, it's worth it. All right, you want to pick up? Here, where are we?
00:08:54
Speaker 2: No sooner, I've got it.
00:08:55
Speaker 1: All right, go ahead.
00:08:55
Speaker 3: No sooner had we had that first dinner at the White House, which is a very seductive and beautiful place, especially now that I have fully renovated and fixed it in the style which it deserves, Bill wanted to come back. Robes!
00:09:11
Speaker 1: The people's house is very seductive. Like, what is happening? Okay, this is now getting, it's more fun than I thought it was. All right.
00:09:18
Speaker 3: The gopher called me multiple times saying how much Bill loves me, that he respects me more than anybody and wants to come back for a second meeting. After 10 calls from Chuck LaBella, It seemed that these guys were serious and wanted to learn more because their policies are so bad.
00:09:33
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous.
00:09:35
Speaker 3: Also, I wanted to tell Bill that he's a major pothead. He's got to stop. It's very bad for his health. He looked like hell this time. Bill was drunk and had alcohol in his hand as he walked through the White House.
00:09:46
Speaker 2: Stephen A.
00:09:47
Speaker 3: Smith and Kid Rock came along with him. Overall, I thought it was a good meeting. It didn't last four hours. It lasted two hours, maybe less, and everybody was happy. We have the time stamps i learned nothing and felt it was a waste of time After the first dinner, Bill Maher was friendly. I guess everyone walked away pleased. He gave me a good first show with lots of laughing machine laughter, which is a real term. But it is what it is, and then reverted back to his former self and his old ways.
00:10:14
Speaker 2: I understand that.
00:10:15
Speaker 3: He's doing his thing. I never took it very personally. I would always mock his low ratings whenever I heard. He's not a nice guy, and what he spouts isn't what he believes. He has to cater to his base, which is mostly composed of losers and people who don't like working. It's why for so long I didn't get another call from Chuck LaBella and I didn't miss him one bit. After the second dinner, Bill's show was far worse than the first.
00:10:42
Speaker 2: He went crazy. He's gutless because he enjoyed every minute.
00:10:47
Speaker 3: Also, I am not building a swimming pool in the White House briefing room and never had any intention of doing so. I am thinking about moving the press and putting them in a different location. but I will use that location for a very badly needed space. Bill also attacked our great Republican candidates, which he knows my endorsement record is 98% in the House and 100% in the Senate.
00:11:11
Speaker 2: So how can he make a false statement like this?
00:11:13
Speaker 3: These statistics are facts, and he should speak about them, but he won't because he is very unfair.
00:11:18
Speaker 1: All right, take a peek. Oh, my God. Robes, he's all over the place. Now, what is... This is just funny. Something we want to get off his chest and we should leave it at that and move on. Is that what this is? Who cares? President went off on social media. He took the time to do it. Didn't take that long. What do you make of this, baby?
00:11:39
Speaker 3: If people listening could see the look on my face as you're trying to make a valid.
00:11:44
Speaker 2: Excuse, there isn't a way.
00:11:48
Speaker 3: To understand this except for what it is it is the rantings of someone who is lost touch with reality this does not make sense this is so strange this is bizarre behavior this is certainly not behavior becoming of a president at the least.
00:12:08
Speaker 1: It's bizarre no matter what at the very minimum it's bizarre on the other end of that it's alarming But let's just stick to bizarre for a second. What is it in him that, Ropes, he is writing in detail. He's writing left and right. There's a swimming pool. I'm moving the press. There's poll numbers of his and his record on this. Ropes, what is this? What message is he trying to get out? What is he trying to say? Is he just venting?
00:12:39
Speaker 2: He's defending himself.
00:12:41
Speaker 3: He thought that Bill Maher liked him, and he felt betrayed by Bill Maher, who went on his... show the day after having dinner. This was last Friday. And he started talking about how he had low ratings and all of this stuff. And the president felt betrayed. The president felt gut punched. The president felt like he was hospitable and let this man for not once, but twice into his house. And this is what thanks he gets. So he is so angry. And so he's trying to say, I don't care what he says, and his show sucks, but let me refute point by point everything that Bill Maher said on his show.
00:13:19
Speaker 1: Well, I was over here trying to find a legit answer. Didn't you give me a better one than I came up with? He feels betrayed, and this is him venting about it.
00:13:27
Speaker 3: Yes.
00:13:28
Speaker 1: You think nothing wrong with that?
00:13:30
Speaker 2: Yes, there is something wrong with that. This is childish. It's an absolute... You were supposed to be leading.
00:13:39
Speaker 3: in a way that's presidential, not in a way that's what a kindergartner or, you know, someone who is that angry that would send you some bizarre. Look, when I always, if you broke up with somebody or a friendship ended, when somebody goes wild and crazy on you because you want to part ways or things didn't work out, there's something going on inside that person there.
00:13:59
Speaker 2: It's frightening.
00:14:00
Speaker 3: And so when you see someone act this way, when they don't get their way, or they feel like something, someone didn't do something they wanted them to do, This is childish behavior.
00:14:11
Speaker 1: And it didn't end there. Stay here. We'll give you the last chunk of the post. And the name-calling continued.
00:14:29
Speaker 3: Welcome back, everyone, to Amy and T.J., The president just went off on Bill Maher, and that's not an understatement. He spent 1,300-plus words. How many pages on his true social account did this take up where he just ripped apart Bill Maher because, yes, Bill Maher had just come to the White House for dinner for the second time, didn't like what Bill Maher had to say about him on his show the following day, and the president let him and the world know it.
00:15:02
Speaker 1: And Rose, this took time. Who composed this? Who?
00:15:08
Speaker 3: Natalie. Natalie Harp?
00:15:09
Speaker 1: Did she really write this out and give him versions? Because this sounds like his voice.
00:15:14
Speaker 2: It does sound like his voice. Very much so.
00:15:16
Speaker 1: Did he sit down and write this thing out?
00:15:18
Speaker 3: I could see him saying it and she's transcribing it. Like that's in my mind how it all happens. He just spouts off and she just takes it down verbatim. Maybe she records him and then transcribes it and puts it up for the world to see.
00:15:32
Speaker 1: Oh, this is the last chunk now. We will share. This is how he wrapped up what is his longest truth social post ever.
00:15:42
Speaker 3: Carolyn Leavitt was great on the show, but she started with a biased, dumb, sleazebag asking questions. She defended me and herself so well, but couldn't be comfortable going against.
00:15:53
Speaker 2: Lie after lie.
00:15:54
Speaker 3: Importantly, Bill lied about all of the illegal voters into the radical, controlled, decrepit, and devastated state of California. Just in the last few days alone, they found 20,000, and the number could easily go to.
00:16:06
Speaker 2: Over 1 million.
00:16:08
Speaker 3: Okay. There were so many other falsehoods Bill spewed, but I won't waste time in fact-checking him.
00:16:15
Speaker 2: He isn't worth it.
00:16:17
Speaker 3: Okay, 1,300 words, though, says he kind of is.
00:16:19
Speaker 1: Isn't that crazy? He had another one up top that said, I don't care.
00:16:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously you do. Okay, here he goes. Bill, don't call anymore. It's useless.
00:16:29
Speaker 3: And tell Chuck LaBella not to call so much. And say how much you love Trump and want to get together because you're a hopeless guy who was just trying to cater to your small group of fans.
00:16:39
Speaker 1: Robes, that is a college breakup text.
00:16:44
Speaker 3: Yes, it is. He is so upset that Bill Maher said shit about him after he had him over.
00:16:50
Speaker 2: He feels so hurt and wounded. This is how he reacts.
00:16:54
Speaker 1: Don't call anymore.
00:16:55
Speaker 2: Don't call anymore. I'm blocking you.
00:16:57
Speaker 1: And then tell your friend, tell your friend, Chuck, don't call anymore either. I don't care how much you love me and want to get together. You're hopeless.
00:17:06
Speaker 3: What?
00:17:07
Speaker 2: Exactly. This is like a middle schooler.
00:17:10
Speaker 1: That's bizarre. Bill, don't call anymore. Do you have to put that out publicly? It's like he really is wanting to.
00:17:17
Speaker 3: It is.
00:17:18
Speaker 1: What in God's name is happening?
00:17:21
Speaker 2: This is crazy.
00:17:23
Speaker 3: He goes on to say, you're also a coward who is afraid to tell the truth about how well our country is running because of your few fans and how badly the Democrats have done almost destroying the USA.
00:17:35
Speaker 2: If I hadn't won the election, it would be dead.
00:17:37
Speaker 3: Oh, boy.
00:17:38
Speaker 2: Also, turn your laugh machine off.
00:17:40
Speaker 3: It's a joke when they laugh uncontrollably, even when you say nothing funny. And I'm going to have the Republicans not cover you anymore because they try to talk about you as a guy who is transformative.
00:17:51
Speaker 2: You're not transformative. You're a loser. I never watched your.
00:17:55
Speaker 3: Show much, but I will never watch it again because it is nothing more than fake news that America and the world is unfortunately subjected to. Thank you for your attention to this matter, President Donald J. Trump.
00:18:08
Speaker 2: Does he not see how obvious he is?
00:18:11
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe it feels good to just be able to use your pulpit, bully pulpit, and call somebody a loser. Call somebody a sleazebag. Tell them you're not watching the show anymore. Say, don't call anymore. Don't have your friend call anymore. It's over.
00:18:30
Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
00:18:31
Speaker 1: We're looking at it all wrong. Why don't you just laugh at it instead of be heartbroken by it? This is, you just don't want, you can't defend that. I can't defend it.
00:18:41
Speaker 2: This is so emotional.
00:18:42
Speaker 3: It is.
00:18:43
Speaker 2: This is so emotional.
00:18:44
Speaker 1: Why? This is an 80-year-old guy and a 70-year-old guy fighting on social media.
00:18:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you put it like that, that is so pathetic. That is so pathetic.
00:18:54
Speaker 1: Bill, don't call anymore.
00:18:56
Speaker 3: No.
00:18:59
Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
00:18:59
Speaker 3: I think that has to be the title of this episode.
00:19:03
Speaker 1: You can fill in some of these blanks with any girl and guy that you know.
00:19:11
Speaker 2: This was a middle school breakup.
00:19:13
Speaker 3: Bill Maher and President Trump.
00:19:15
Speaker 1: As of this recording, we didn't see a response of Bill Maher. If he's smart, he'll save it for his show.
00:19:20
Speaker 3: That's exactly right.
00:19:22
Speaker 1: If he's doing the right thing, that's what he's going to do. But I don't know if we're going to hear more about this. Or if the president's been asked about this yesterday and we haven't seen. But this is, with all we've got going on, this was important to the president. Who was it we were listening to recently? S.E. Cupp, I think it was, on CNN, talking about when she talks to folks, he's focused on things that aren't me. Ballroom. That's a really big deal to him.
00:19:48
Speaker 2: Reflecting pool.
00:19:49
Speaker 1: Big deal to him. He's putting his energy and effort into a helipad.
00:19:55
Speaker 2: Arc de Trump.
00:19:56
Speaker 1: All these things he's fighting for. There's a golf course he's working on now and fighting for. Getting his name to Kennedy Center stuff. Big things that we know, babe, he is fighting for. We hear him talk about every day. And then this, the longest social media post of his presidency, is on this guy. Not about food prices, inflation, and gas prices. No, no, no, no. I don't know how much this makes an impact or how much attention this will get, but this is another right before the midterm indication of where his head is. And it's very few times it's on Bill Maher. It's on Nicki Minaj's ass. It's on Senator Husta's ass. It's on everything else. Bill Maher? Please, Mr. President. Please. But apparently it's over. Well, he broke up with Elon, too, once, and they got back together.
00:20:55
Speaker 3: They did.
00:20:55
Speaker 2: They got back together. There's hope. Keep hope alive.
00:20:58
Speaker 3: All right.
00:20:58
Speaker 1: Get a third dinner.
00:21:01
Speaker 2: Oh, he said, there will be no third dinner.
00:21:04
Speaker 1: All right.
00:21:04
Speaker 3: And with that, everyone, we always appreciate you listening to us. I'm Amy Robach, alongside TJ Holmes. We'll talk to you soon.
