Liberal comedian Bill Maher told former CNN host Chris Cuomo this week that he’s “impressed” that President Donald Trump recently invited the Real Time With Bill Maher host to the White House for a dinner and discussion.
Appearing on The Chris Cuomo Project podcast, Maher explained he saw the opportunity to talk with Trump as a way to set an example for those who are opposed to simply having conversations with people on the opposite side of the political spectrum.

MAHER: "It was presented as … maybe this is a beginning to heal America. Now, I don't have some sort of complex where I think I can heal America. I can't. Okay, let's get that clear — I'm not going to be… pic.twitter.com/uPX8NRhPzt
“Now, I don’t have some sort of complex where I think I can heal America,” Maher said. “I can’t. Okay, let’s get that clear — I’m not going to be healing America. But if two guys who’ve been at each other for so long — I mean, it’s kind of a Nixon-to-China thing.”
The comedian continued, suggesting he is the perfect candidate to represent anti-Trump Americans as he’s been consistently hard on the president while also admitting the far-left wing of the Democrat Party is driving a “woke train to crazy town.”
“First of all, it’s an honor to be invited to the White House,” Maher told Cuomo, adding that he’s “impressed” by the gesture.
“I’m impressed the fuck out of it. I get to go to the White House. And yes, that is the structure of this dinner — it’s just, ‘Let’s talk. Let’s talk to each other face to face. Let’s stop shouting from 3,000 miles away,'” he said.
Musician Kid Rock was the one who thought up the idea to have Maher meet with Trump, telling TheBlaze owner Glenn Beck, “I’m actually gonna try to unite this country.”
While Trump and Maher will likely never see eye-to-eye on every subject, it’s possible for the men to find some common ground and help unite the politically fractioned nation.
