“Real Time” host and comedian Bill Maher claimed on Sunday that President Donald Trump feels “betrayed” by him after they continued to feud following their cordial dinner in 2025.

During an interview on ABC’s “This Week,” Maher discussed recently accepting the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at the Kennedy Center, where Trump serves as the chairman. Ahead of the award ceremony, Maher and Trump traded several barbs after it was reported that the Trump administration initially attempted to stop him from receiving the award.

“I love that, you know, he takes the game seriously. Like no, ‘I’m going to block this guy.’ I respect the move,” Maher said on his “Club Random” podcast in April. “But I know that on June 28, it’s going to happen. We’re going to be at the Kennedy Center, and I couldn’t be more appreciative, honestly.”

After finally accepting the award, Maher addressed his ongoing fight with Trump, arguing that it stemmed from the fact that he refused to agree with Republicans after meeting with Trump last year.

“He was just mad at me because I went to his house for dinner with no guarantee that I would leave – guarantee? It was never in the cards that I was ever going to come over to their – his side,” Maher said. “You know, it’s better to just talk and go through this.”

During the interview, anchor Jonathan Karl pointed out that Maher had previously faced backlash for meeting with Trump, and Maher ultimately stood by the decision.

“I reported honestly that it, no, it wasn’t a terrible experience at all from a guy who has done some terrible things,” Maher said.

Karl remarked that Trump’s attacks against Maher have seemed to grow worse since the dinner.

“Yes, because now he feels betrayed, which is silly because there was never a deal. It was only set up as, instead of shouting at each other, talk to each other,” Maher said.

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment.

Though Maher was adamant in his political stance against Trump, he admitted during the interview that he could see himself voting for a Republican like Vice President JD Vance in 2028 if his opponent is supported by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).

“My vote is in play because it can’t be Trump running, so I’m not living in communist America,” Maher said.
