Donald Trump Attacks Bill Mahers Looks After HBO Host Delivers A Mock Eulogy Of The President – Deadline

Donald Trumps attack on Bill Maher, apparently triggered by the HBO hosts mock eulogy of the president on his show last week, is only his latest swipe at the comedian.

Watched @billmaher last week for the first time in a long time. Hes totally SHOT, looks terrible, exhausted, gaunt, and weak. If there was ever a good reason for no shutdown, check out this jerk. He never had much going for him, but whatever he did have is missing in action!

Maher reacted to Trumps tweet, writing on Twitter, Really? This is what the president of the United States does with his time?

Last year, Trump wrote that he accidentally watched Real Time, and six years ago, in 2014, he wrote that Maher looks pathetic, bloated & gone!

Back then, Trump had sued Maher after the host joked that he would donate $5 million to the charity of Trumps choice if he could prove that he was not a half-orangutan. The lawsuit was not defamation, but over Mahers failure to pay the amount after Trumps then-lawyer Michael Cohen produced his birth certificate showing that his father was Fred Trump.

Maher had been doing a riff on Trumps offer of $5 million to charity if then-President Barack Obama released his college records.

Maher told Variety in 2016, So he actually goes into court and says, Bill Maher owes me $5 million because heres my birth certificate and look, it doesnt say orangutan on it. I mean, I cant even begin to describe how insane that is. Trump later dropped the lawsuit.

On his show on Friday, Maher said that the only bipartisan agreement we seem to have these days is that neither party wants Donald Trump at their funerals.
