As he opened the April 11 episode of "Real Time with Bill Maher," the host spent 10 minutes detailing his White House visit. Here's what he said.

Maher met with President Donald Trump at the White House earlier this month for a dinner brokered by mutual friend Kid Rock.

The "Real Time" host, who recently lobbed preemptive insults at critics of the meeting, recounted it Friday in a lengthy monologue.

President Donald Trump’s rapid-fire trade war has set in motion a commercial rupture without precedent, which is rippling through the global economy in unpredictable and costly ways. The triple-digit taxes that the president has imposed on Chinese products — and China’s retaliatory measures — are expected to shrink trade between the world’s two largest economies from a recent annual peak of nearly $700 billion to almost nothing.

As American companies planning investments watch and wait for the effects of President Trump's tariffs on China, global supply chains may already be shifting away from U.S. producers.

Xi Jinping, who rules with absolute authority, has shown he is willing to let the Chinese people endure hardship. President Trump revealed he has limits.

"I took a cognitive test. I don’t know what to tell you other than I got every answer right," Trump told reporters.

President Donald Trump underwent his first physical since returning to the White House. The trip to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center puts a renewed focus on Trump’s age. At 78, he was the oldest person in history to be sworn in as U.

President Donald Trump had an annual physical on Friday and concluded, “I did well,” praising his own heart, soul and cognitive ability while noting medical reports from White House doctors may not be ready until the weekend.
