As we mentioned in a recent post, Bill Maher agreed to attend a dinner at the White House with President Trump in a meeting arranged by their mutual friend, Kid Rock.
Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, appeared on FOX & Friends yesterday and described how things went at the dinner. He was extremely positive about it. One thing that surprised him is that despite donating to various Democrats over the years, Maher had never been invited to the White House before now.
FOX News reports:
Kid Rock says Bill Maher’s White House visit left everyone’s minds ‘blown’For Trump ally Kid Rock, seeing Bill Maher — one of the president’s biggest critics — visit the White House to break bread on Monday “could not have been any better.””Everyone was so surprised, so pleasant,” he recalled on Tuesday’s “Fox & Friends.””The most shocking thing to me was, Bill’s obviously a very big liberal, been very hard on the president, but he’s donated a lot of money to other politicians – Biden, Clinton, Obama – [yet] he had never been to the White House, and the president was so gracious.”…”I was like, ‘How about this? President Trump extending this olive branch…’” he continued.”The president was asking him what he thought about policy going on with Iran and Israel and things. It just blew my mind. I was very proud.”Kid Rock said he “one hundred percent” believes Maher walked away from the meeting with a newfound appreciation for Trump’s personality.”Everybody’s mind was kind of blown… everyone was a little suspect about going into this,” Kid Rock shared.

During the visit, Kid Rock also had some fun playing a White House piano.
It’ll be fascinating to hear Bill Maher’s account of the event, which I imagine he will talk about on his show this Friday. I don’t expect him to don a MAGA hat, but I assume his version of the story will align with Kid Rock’s.
