2026 March

2026-03-06 Trump accused Bill Maher of having “Trump Derangement Syndrome” after Maher criticized Trump. Bill Maher responded, “I go by what George Bush said to Obama on the day he was inaugurated: ‘We want you to succeed’. I always want the American president to succeed, and I do give credit when you have. But there’s lots of stuff you do that is not my idea of success and I have every right to say so in a democracy…it’s not derangement for me to be always calling out the election denying obsession you have, or the pardons from my friends and punishment for my enemies mode of governing, or the side deals for your family that always seem to be part of everything. We see how rich you’ve all become, but the people of West Virginia don’t seem to be feeling the winning.”

2026 July

2026-07-24 During the rescheduled correspondence dinner Trump quipped, “This place is really the largest group of Trump derangement syndrome people ever put together at one time, I suspect. Some of you are lucky that our last dinner was cut short, because I had brought with me what would possibly have been—I’m telling you, I had something. I was going to go after you…” and subsequently, “Your lives were really in danger the last time. But on the plus side, your careers were saved”. Then he took jabs at Kaitlan Collins, mocked Dylan Mulvaney, insulted Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon, and targeted opponents.
