Trump concluded his thoughts by confirming that Kid Rock would join Maher during the meeting and that UFC CEO Dana White, a Trump ally, may also join.

He cited how this is not the first time “two guys who’ve been at each other for so long” are meeting. Maher also expressed hope that he and Trump would be able to speak to each other “face to face,” adding that anyone expecting him to leave in a Make America Great Again hat would be “very disappointed.”

Maher has largely brushed off criticism from those who were against his visit to Trump, saying he was unconcerned about being shuttered out by his naysayers. On the other side, others have praised Maher for the meeting, with the Washington Examiner‘s Joe Concha suggesting Maher has emerged as a “voice of reason” in the Democratic Party.
