President Donald Trump said he was not excited about his meeting with comedian Bill Maher and that he was doing it out of obligation to his friend, musician Kid Rock.

Trump said on Truth Social that the musician asked him to meet with Maher in the White House, which he agreed to, even though he said, “I really didn’t like the idea much.” However, he expressed some optimism that the meeting with Maher, someone he said has been “unjustifiably” critical of him, could be interesting.
