Talk show hosts who made their careers bashing Trump are changing their tune

Bill Maher, Jimmy Kimmel and Jon Stewart are among comedians warming to US president

For more than a decade, the relationship between Donald Trump and Bill Maher had been marked by bad blood, legal action, and mud-slinging.

That changed earlier this month, when Maher said in a monologue on his HBO show that he had accepted the US president’s invitation to dinner at the White House, in a visit brokered by their mutual friend: Kid Rock.

What was even more incredible is that the comedian walked away charmed by the meeting, calling Mr Trump “gracious and measured”.
