Trump Unleashes 1,300-Word Attack on Bill Maher as Midterms Near

Summary
Donald Trump used a 1,300-word Truth Social post to call Bill Maher a “TOTAL LOSER,” escalating his attacks on late-night hosts roughly a week before the U.S. midterm elections.
The tirade followed Maher’s interview with Karoline Leavitt, in which he questioned Trump’s “lame duck” status and warned Trump could pursue “vengeance” if Republicans lose badly.
Trump disputed several points from Maher’s show, including comments about alleged noncitizen ballots in California, rumors about turning the White House briefing room into a swimming pool, and his midterm endorsements.
The post also revived Trump’s pattern of targeting comedians and TV hosts—after earlier calls to end Jimmy Kimmel’s show and fire Seth Meyers—while polling shows rising voter dissatisfaction over the economy, living costs and the war with Iran.
