Host Steve Inskeep told Maher that many people hated the meeting while some liked it. Maher said critics who condemned the dinner were driven by emotion rather than logic. The Independent reported that Maher portrayed Trump as highly self-aware in private and more normal than his public image suggests.
He urged others to speak directly with the president for the same reason. Maher said Trump resumed attacking him after the dinner because Maher continued his usual criticism on his show.
