Trump Rips Bill Maher Again, Says He Was ‘Eaten Up’ by Newsom and Mocks His Ratings

Trump accused Maher of failing to challenge Newsom and said Fox News should stop citing him as a Republican voice.

  • On Saturday, President Donald Trump demanded Fox News stop featuring comedian Bill Maher, calling the network's coverage 'weak, stupid, and ineffective' in a lengthy Truth Social post.
  • Maher's Friday interview with California Governor Gavin Newsom prompted the attack, as the host pressed the governor on rising rents, gas prices, and the state's high-speed rail project.
  • Maher confronted Newsom over the rail project's projected $231 billion cost despite being 'about 0% finished,' a segment Fox hosts Dr. Marc Siegel and Tomi Lahren praised on 'The Big Weekend Show.'
  • Trump labeled Maher 'defenseless' and a 'moron,' claiming Newsom 'took Bill Maher over the coals' while alleging the governor 'lied about the facts' regarding California's economy.
  • This feud pressures network bookers ahead of the 2026 election cycle, forcing outlets to weigh audience interest against political backlash as entertainment-platform interviews shape public perception.
