During his monologue in Friday’s episode of Real Time, Bill Maher gave viewers what he knew they’d been waiting for: his “book report” on his recent visit to the White House. Maher, who has been critical of the president before, said he had a sit-down with Donald Trump and was surprised to find him “gracious and measured.” “As you know, 12 days ago, I had dinner with President Trump, a dinner that was set up by my friend Kid Rock, because we share a belief that there’s got to be something better than hurling insults from 3,000 miles away,” Maher said in the April 11 episode. The comedian said Trump, who has hurled countless insults at him over the years, was friendly and willing to listen in person. “Just for starters, he laughs!” he said. “I’ve never seen him laugh in public. But he does, including at himself. And it’s not fake.
