On Sunday, former President Donald Trump posted a series of disparaging remarks about comedian Bill Maher on his social media platform, Truth Social. In the post, Trump referred to Maher as a "coward who is afraid to tell the truth" and characterized him as a "COMPLETE AND TOTAL LOSER."

Beyond the personal insults, Trump targeted Maher’s professional work, specifically claiming that the comedian's long-running HBO show, "Real Time with Bill Maher," is "not 'HOT' anymore." The former president concluded his post by suggesting that Maher is not worth his time or attention.

This exchange is the latest instance of Trump utilizing his social media presence to critique television personalities and political commentators. While Trump’s post was aggressive in tone, he did not specify which particular "truth" he felt Maher was avoiding or provide evidence regarding the show's current viewership metrics. Maher, who frequently discusses Trump on his program, has not issued a formal response to these specific comments as of the time of reporting. The Hill, which reported on the post, framed the incident as a direct attack from the former president, noting the intensity of the language used in the social media update.
