Bill Maher Says Trump Feels Betrayed After 2025 Dinner, Eyes 2028 GOP Vote

Summary
ABC's "This Week" gave Maher a new platform to say Trump now feels "betrayed" after their 2025 White House dinner because Maher never intended to join his political side.
Maher said the meeting was meant to replace public shouting with direct conversation, and he defended describing it honestly as not a terrible personal encounter despite Trump's record.
June 28's Mark Twain Prize ceremony at the Kennedy Center sharpened the feud after reports that the Trump administration had initially tried to block Maher from receiving the award.
2028 entered the discussion when Maher said his vote is "in play" and that he could back a Republican such as Vice President JD Vance if the Democratic nominee is backed by the DSA.
