This Is Going to Be Something: Bill Maher Reveals More About His Coming Meeting With Trump

We reported that Bill Maher was going to meet with President Donald Trump through the intercession of Kid Rock setting it up.

That's fascinating because while Maher has made steps on the road toward sanity and called out the left on many issues, the one thing that has always held him back was his severe Trump Derangement Syndrome. It's a big thing if even he is able to step to the middle and take the plunge to actually talk to and listen to the other side.

Now he just told Chris Cuomo that it's going to be a dinner and why he decided to do it.

"It was presented as ... maybe this is a beginning to heal America," Maher explained.

"Now, I don't have some sort of complex where I think I can heal America. I can't. Okay, let's get that clear — I'm not going to be healing America. But if two guys who've been at each other for so long — I mean, it's kind of a Nixon-to-China thing."

Maher said, "It's an honor to be invited to the White House."

He said he was very impressed by the invitation — that he, as a kid from New Jersey, would get to go. He said that it was about, "Let's talk. Let's talk to each other face to face. Let's stop shouting from 3,000 miles away."

Cuomo cheered it, "I love that you're going. I think it's great. For exactly the reasons you said."

Oh, to be a fly on the wall at that dinner. The thing about a meeting is that he will find, as so many do when they actually open themselves up to meeting him in person, that Trump isn't the ogre that the Democrats make him out to be. He really is funny and concerned about making the U.S. better, whether the left gets it or not. It's why you see even Barack Obama and Joe Biden smiling and/or laughing and having a good time with him when they meet with him. Even they can't keep up their "Hitler" narrative in Trump's presence.

Maher is likely to have a similar experience. It used to be that there were reasonable Democrats who might differ on policy but who you could talk to. Now, they all seem to be extreme, willing to do anything to win and grab control. I think once he sees Trump's humanity a bit, it's going to be a big shift for him, and he's going to end up laughing with him over ridiculous things. Trump has already shown he's willing to talk to anyone to make his points, and he's done exactly that. Maher knows things have to change and that Democrats are in trouble with their extremism.

Good for Maher for accepting the invitation (despite the blowback from the left that he's likely to get), and good for Trump agreeing to it. Just doing it is modeling positive behavior and how Democrats should be acting instead of like Tim Walz or Jasmine Crockett. If it moves anyone more toward sanity, it will be a great thing.
