Bill Maher revealed that he now has a direct line to President Donald Trump. In this week’s episode of his Club Random podcast, the comedian said he doesn’t have to go through Trump’s team since he can go straight to the president’s phone. “Would you ever interview him on TV?” Maher’s guest, author and podcaster Lewis Howes, asked him about Trump. “Of course, he’s the president of the United States. Are you crazy?” When Howes began to say, “You have his team, you can talk to his [staff],” Maher cut him off to respond: “I can talk to him.” Asked whether he had Trump’s phone number, Maher nodded “Yeah” with a laugh. “Look, we’re not having a bromance here,” he was quick to clarify. “I have no patience for people who just can’t find friendship with people who don’t agree with them. It’s just a way to civil war, and I’m not going down that road.” Maher had dinner with Trump, Kid Rock, and Dana White at the White House in March. “In person, he’s definitely the kind of guy you just feel like you can say anything and you don’t have to censor it,” Maher said of Trump.
