Comedian Bill Maher has been cornered on his contentious relationship with Donald Trump while accepting an award that the president’s administration insisted he was not getting.
Maher, 71, on Sunday received the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts, the prestigious venue that Trump tried to rename in his own honor, and whose facade has now been stripped of any association with Trump.
The comedian has used his HBO show Real Time to praise and criticize the president. After a visit to the White House last year for a dinner brokered by their mutual friend Kid Rock, Maher said Trump was “gracious and measured,” and not like the “person who plays a crazy person on TV.”
