POLICY WIRE — City, Country — Late-night television host Bill Maher has publicly criticized former President Donald Trump, labeling him a “crazy person” following a dinner meeting with the ex-president. Maher made the remarks during his show, where he expressed concerns about Trump’s reliance on personal interactions rather than official intelligence.

“He’s a crazy person,” Maher stated, reflecting on his interactions with Trump. “He relies entirely on personal interactions over official intelligence.” The comments came after Maher was pressed by his guests about the nature and content of his dinner with Trump.

Maher’s criticism underscores a growing narrative among certain media personalities regarding Trump’s approach to governance and decision-making. The late-night host’s remarks have sparked further debate about the influence of personal relationships in political decision-making.
