Overview
President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social blasting Bill Maher as 'eaten up' by Gavin Newsom and saying Maher's 'ratings SUCK!'
The post was prompted by Maher's HBO interview with California Gov. Gavin Newsom in which Maher pressed Newsom about California's policies.
Trump called Maher 'weak and ineffective' and a 'MORON' and criticized conservative TV coverage that highlighted the interview, while Newsom's social-media account said the interview caused a presidential 'meltdown.'
Maher averaged about 500,000 to 600,000 viewers in recent months, and Trump cited homelessness, a costly rail project, and the inability to rebuild 25,000 homes destroyed by fire.
Trump directed conservative outlets to stop using Maher as a representative of them and revisited a past White House dinner with Maher in his post.
