Bill Maher Accepts White House Dinner Invite with Trump

Comedian Bill Maher has accepted an invitation for a private dinner at the White House with President Donald Trump, a meeting he likens to Richard Nixon's historic visit to China. Despite being a long-time critic of Trump, Maher sees this as a potential opportunity to bridge political divides, emphasizing that while he doesn't believe he can 'heal America,' dialogue is necessary. The dinner, arranged by musician Kid Rock, has sparked backlash, with Maher acknowledging the criticism but also expressing honor at the invitation. Maher highlights his 'credentials' as a critic of Trump who also challenges 'woke' culture, which he claims lends him credibility. He stresses that the meeting is about starting a conversation rather than endorsing Trump's policies. While Maher admits the meeting may accomplish little, he maintains the importance of trying to foster unity.
