Former President Donald Trump blasted Bill Maher and his late-night show on Saturday, calling him “highly overrated” and declaring the show dead.
“Bill Maher, the highly overrated “Star” of the ratings challenged show with the Fake, Loud and Obnoxious laughter pouring out of your set every few seconds, even when nothing was said that was funny (which is most of the time!), suffers from a terminal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, sometimes referred to as TDS. Republicans should stop using him as a reference point, his show is dead!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social account.
Trump’s comments come just hours after former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) and former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) spoke on “Real Time” with Maher to warn against a repeat Trump administration and discuss charges against him.
Cuomo and Maher debated whether the New York hush money case against the former president should have been brought forward, arguing that it politicized the justice system and only served to benefit Trump’s campaign, while Maher argued that Trump’s election interference cases should have been prioritized.
Kinzinger served on the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol during his final time in Congress.
He dissociated himself from the former president and the Republican Party following the events of January 6, 2021.
The next morning, Trump urged fellow Republicans against engaging with Maher and his show.
