WASHINGTON — President Trump said he dined Thursday night with comedian Bill Maher, musician Kid Rock and sports commentator Stephen A. Smith.
“I think they had a good time. We talked about everything, it lasted a long time,” Trump told reporters Friday as he left the White House for a campaign trip to Georgia.
“Even though they have to sort of put on a certain little facade for their people, they like Trump, and I actually like them. We had a great time.”
“We even took a little tour of the ballroom. We went inside the ballroom with beams that are being put up over our heads,” the president added.
“But it was a great dinner, it was a very informative dinner. Smart people. Stephen A. is great. Bill Maher, I tell you what, he likes me a lot more than people understand, and I actually like him.”
News of the dinner was first reported on social media by the DC bar Madams Organ, which posted photos of Maher and Smith enjoying a live music performance.
“Where did Bill Maher and Stephen A Smith go to celebrate Smith’s Birthday before their dinner date at the White House w His Orangeness? of course they came to enjoy a couple sets from KingPin Blues,” the bar wrote.

President Trump dined with comedian Bill Maher,
musician Kid Rock, sportsman Stephen A. Smith.
Pssst. Ova hea. Beams, I tell ya...
Kid Rock telling about the meeting was so funny. He said he’d just finished recording and was tired and thirsty when he got there so he asked “Can I get a beer?”. They bought him a beer. Seven beers later he said it was time for him to go home.
Pretty smart. The election is 3 weeks away. Interesting set of ‘interests’. Did they know they were being played?
Big pharma wouldn’t publicize the covid vaccine discovery before the 2020 election. The game is played 2 ways.
I imagine that was a lively dinner conversation.

This is why politics is for men. Those guys call each other out all day long, cracking at each other, saying nasty things. Can still sit down cordially and talk about the greater good of the country. I’m asking honestly, has there been even one woman in the entire Trump era who has been able to do that? Trump does the same thing with Zelensky and Putin and dozens more than I can think of off the cop of my head.
He’s a month older than me.
His stamina is 30 years younger than me.
Four hours - that’s amazing...
Who is the fourth guy?
You can hear hear Kid Rock discuss the details of the White House dinner on Fox & Friends:
Kid Rock said that he, Bill Maher, Stephen A. Smith, and President Trump had dinner at the White House on Thursday October 15, 2026.
President Trump noted that the gathering “lasted a long
time” and included a tour of the new White House ballroom.
The group talked about socialism and communism, the war in Iran, Afghan interpreters,
Black women’s unemployment, and historical Black colleges and universities.

Women do have a longer memory if crossed.
Smith and Maher are useless to me and probably useful to others. Glad they got a nice tour of the ballroom.
Only Trump does that, maybe Reagan too. POS George Bush would never do this.
Good timing - if ever there was a time for discussing "communism and antisemitism taking over the democrat party " that time's now.
Good for Trump, good for Maher, good for Stephen Smith - good for the United States. (That said, I'm amazed Trump would take on two well spoken, think-on-their-feet AND 'outside the box' liberals. Most liberals today are shallow 'talking point' idiots or worse, but these two (Maher and Smith) together would be a challenge)
Stephen Smith was on Hannity last night - he shared some details... Looks like it was a four hour dinner with free wheeling no holds barred discussions.

Remember that scene in “Every Which Way But Loose” where Clint Eastwood’s ‘brother’, when asked if he was going to help with the gang of thugs, said he probably should go out to help them, basically that they didn’t stand a chance? Yeah, like that. I’m a Trump supporter, but in cases like this feel sorry for his adversaries.
LOL - great point Civ... Trump does have a way of mopping the floor with adversaries.
