Donald Trump launched a 1,300‑word social media rant against late‑night host Bill Maher on Sunday evening, calling him a “TOTAL LOSER.” The post followed Maher’s interview with former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on his program Real Time with Bill Maher.

Maher asked Leavitt about Trump’s “lame duck” presidency and whether the president would act on “vengeance” if Republicans largely lose to Democrats in the next week’s midterms.

Leavitt remained steadfast in her support for Trump and expressed confidence that Republicans could still outperform expectations.

Trump accused Maher of being a coward who is afraid to tell the truth about how well the country is running.

Trump has previously insulted late‑night hosts and comedians on his platform and taken personal offense at those who make him the punchline.
