US President Donald Trump agreed to meet comedian and television host Bill Maher at the White House after receiving a request from his friend, American singer-songwriter Kid Rock.
Trump announced the decision on his social media platform, Truth Social, admitting he was not entirely keen on the idea but found it “interesting.”
“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, a man who has been unjustifiably critical of anything, or anyone, TRUMP,” Trump wrote.
“I really didn’t like the idea much, and don’t like it much now, but thought it would be interesting,” he added.
Despite agreeing to the meeting, Trump acknowledged that Maher was unlikely to change his public stance against him. Comparing his recent address to Congress, Trump suggested Maher would continue to criticise him even if they got along privately.
“The problem is, no matter how much he likes your Favourite 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.’ Who knows, though, maybe I’ll be proven wrong?”
Trump also revealed that Dana White, CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), would be present at the meeting.
“In any event, I’m doing a favour for a friend. I look forward to meeting with Bill Maher and 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!”
While the meeting has been confirmed, an exact date has not yet been announced.
